Guest Anonymous Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 I want to put a LSD in a 73 240 z with a chev8. This nissan motorsports LSD seems like a good option. Any one have any input? Thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted January 20, 2001 Share Posted January 20, 2001 $900 is actually a reasonable price if its new.. but another idea would be to buy a quaiffe... a little more (closer to $1200) but no clutches to wear out and a better system than the LSD. ------------------ Mike mike@fonebooth.com http://www.fonebooth.com/brakes.html raceparts and brake upgrades.

BLKMGK Posted January 21, 2001 Share Posted January 21, 2001 There's also PowerTrax and the R200 from an 87-88.5 300ZX turbo. Try this - do a search on "LSD" in the search bar. You'll find at least a dozen threads on this including some folks trying to get the plentiful but funky clutch LSD out of the later model 300ZX cars into the older cars. That search thing is plenty helpful and I think you'll find that many of us are using the 87-88 rears but that there are a few gotcha's to read up on.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 23, 2001 Share Posted January 23, 2001 FWIW - I just picked up another cluthc r200 lsd from an 88 turbo - gave up some JWT electronics for the diff plus some money - I paid the equivalent of $250 for it. It has 0 backlash and is in pristine condition - near perfect and it's even barely dirty! Point is the clutch LSDs are out there and available for $400 and well under that if you look for a bit. I even posted the link to the ad for the one I just got last week in here, and nobody got it! I checked the next day and he still had it, so I grabbed it. Get a clutch LSD(used, not from nismo) and spend the $1k you save on brakes or something else. The NisMo clutch LSDs are the LSD assembly ONLY - you supply a gearset, case, bearings, seals, shims, etc, etc, etc and assemble the diff. It will cost you lots more than $900 in the end! ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dp351zcar Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 Motorsport Auto has the same carriers for $120 less. The difference between carriers is 10mm and 12mm ring gear bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 The NisMo clutch LSD assemblies are available in both 10 and 12mm ring gear bolts and also have curved clutches instead of flat like the OE clutch LSD. ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
