gira Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Folks, I need an LSD unit and I have read a bunch of stuff about these diffs. I read enough to finally make me comfortable enough to try one on one of my race cars. NOW, I can't freakin find one! Any idea of where to find one. I've tried Ebay and other typical web searches. Thanks very much, Greg Ira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthom5147 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Many active listings on eBay, right now. Try looking again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gira Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys. Yeah, here's the real problem. I can't verify it'll fit. I mean it mentions everything except the 280ZX. It's hard to tell if I am looking at the correct part. I actually have the part number from the threads too, and the part number associated with the ones for sale on ebay do not match.

jthom5147 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 They don't sell one for the 280z / 280zx. It will fit, but the ring gear bolts are a different size. You'll need bushings for the bolts. That's documented in the pinned differential thread / elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthom5147 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 It's also discussed in the various OBX threads on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gira Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 FYI, I bought the OBX from Ebay. It's a different part number than the earlier ones in the threads. Brand new out of the box the washers were screwed. One was already broken and wedged into the retainer housing. Just so people will know that as of this point, the OBX people have not forked up the few dollars for decent washer. Wonder wtf is the reason for that. I mean, you'd think they could by in bulk and get a killer deal. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthom5147 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 its hard to get an LSD for a cheaper price, and most people rebuild it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The OBX is essentially a knock-off isn't it? Maybe you got a counterfeit knock-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Use the GKN one from a S chassis instead of messing around with that problematical knock off. I have no clue as to which US S chassis cars had these as OE, maybe none at all but they were a selected world option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
