    Anyone taken a look at a 350z (Z33) differential?

    Perfect thanks.

    Basically there has been a bunch of posts talking about the longevity of the VLSD diffs in autocrossing and roadracing.

    I'm putting in the Q45 R200 because the 3.54 gearing works for my LS1 T56 combo and I used to break ujoints all the time with my stroker motor so I wanted to get rid of them with the LS1 swap.

    If the VLSD starts to slip it looks like I can get the CLSD made for the 350z and it will work in the carrier, with the ring gear and the stub axles.

    CLSDs for those cars are pretty plentiful in the aftermarket.

    Thanks for the info.

    Can't find too many pictures of it on the web but I found a picture of the diff cover and it looks like it matches the bolt pattern of the short nose R200.

    I've attached a pic.

    I'm swapping the R200 vlsd into my 240 ls1 but would like to possibly go to a clutch style lsd.

    There are quite a few types available for the 350 and if that happens to be to be the same.

    Of course then there is the cv ends to contend with, I saw the 350z's one is 6 bolt but it might not be the same bolt pattern as the Q45 R200.

    Just wondering if anyone's actually had a good look at one.

    Thanks,

    JCI LS1 Headers

    Anyone else gotten the John's cars headers for the LS1 swap?

    I received mine yesterday and can't say I'm really excited by them.

    I'll have to do some clean up in the primary tubes where they're welded to the flanges and the overall design definitely isn't what I wa expecting.

    My fault I guess for not trying to get a picture of them before I ordered them.

    Think I'll bite the bullet and order JTRs ones, they really look like nice pieces.

    Another LS1 on the way.

    Had this car apart for awhile and it used to have a pretty stout 3 litre with triple SKs header and so forth.

    It's really just going to be a track/autocross/really uncomfortable street car so it's got a cage (afraid to post pics after the spanking the Vollkswagen guy got her), fual cell, racing seats and so on.

    Have a couple of sets of R180 and R200 that I swapped in and out to change gear ratios but need to install a LSD.

    Since I decided to go the LS1/T56 route I wanted to sort the rear end before I needed to get the driveshaft made.

    I just picked up a Q45 3.54 Diff (Pick a Part $60)so I'm going that route with Ross's adapters and axles.

    Suspension: ground control camber plates on all 4 corners, shortened struts, coil overs, koni inserts

    Brakes:

    JSK 4 lug kits front and rear running wilwood superlites through a proportioning valve with a line lock

    For wheels I'm running 245/45/17s on 4 lug 8.5" wheels using long Moroso studs and 5/8 aluminum adapters, it just barely clears the rolled fender and the coil overs.

    I'll throw some pics up in a member gallery.

    ls1 fuel line feed & return sizes

    Found info on it over at ls1tech when I had the same question.

    Apparently for non drag only cars under abour 450 hp a 3/8 feed and 5/16 return should be one.

    They actually said a 5/16 feed was probably ok.

    I'm setting mine up the same as yours, using the corvette filter/regulator.

    The input to the filter is 5/16 and output and return are 3/8, so I'm just using pipe to an fittings on each to -6 line.
