letitsnow Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 That's why I'm trying to fit a z32 vlsd in my car. If I can't make it work then it's pretty easy to put in my dads z31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 It cost me a total of $900 or so to rebuild a standard 300zx non-lsd with a NEW PG in it. That includes all bearings, labor, and the carrier. One of the bearings is NLA, so I just sucked it up. All in all I think this would be the way to go for an LSD into an R200 long nose. Most all of the R200's I find have a bit of a sandy feel to the bearings, so I figure I might as well get the rebuild done and have a new setup. Which makes more sense. Used likely 100k+ mile factory LSD with few clutches, or new competition style LSD? Difference is $100-300. For me it made more sense to spend the extra money I made off of the used 300zxT LSD's I have sold on Ebay in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "sandy" feeling is almost always the front pinion bearing in my experience, which is the NLA one. Supposedly you can't get the Power Brute anymore, if that's what you meant by "PG". If you meant Phantom Grip, well... you'll find out why not soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision gear got mixed into my mind. Yea, thats whats really lame. The NLA bearing is the one that gets messed up. Wonder if something of similar size can be specified... I vaguely remember seeing a bearing source that goes by size once upon a time. EDIT: I researched some more. It seems a 58OD 28ID 16W bearing can be sourced for under $10 a pop. That would merely require a spacer of 72mm diameter and ~57.8mm ID to make it fit correctly. That can be made for ~$20 out of 4340 easily. Interesting... Too bad I had my differential rebuilt already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The spacer is an interesting idea. If you wanted to all you'd have to do is pull the pinion nut and pull the seal and that bearing is right there. If you didn't care about trying to save it I'd imagine some creative slide hammering would get it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
