Leon Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hey guys, I've been on the lookout for a 3.9 R180 LSD and have been mostly shopping for STi ones. However, I found an original Datsun Comp unit meaning I won't have to buy the accompanying side-axles, but there's a catch: it's from the '70s and the clutches are worn out, as described by the owner. He said the diff "slips" and doesn't work as well as it used to. Does anybody have info on whether new clutch disks are available from Nissan or anywhere else for that matter? I found an old catalog here: http://www.nissanusa.com/nismo-web/Nismo-Motorsports-Catalog-2010.pdf And cross-referenced the part number to Courtesy which shows the disks as available and apparently shared by many other models: http://www.courtesyparts.com/kb_search_result.php?chassis_id=0&keywords=38433-RS610&Submit_Button=Go&cat=1 Can anyone confirm? I'm thinking I should be more worried about the overall condition of the diff (bearings, seals) than the clutch pack anyway... Thanks!

Leon Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) All the parts are available through a good diff shop. As in bearings, seals, and clutch disks/plates? Anyone familiar with a good diff shop in the SF Bay Area? BTW, thanks for the reply John, I was thinking of just PM'ing you but wanted to consult with the HBZ populace as well.
