ZR8ED Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Hey all I'm preparing to install a recently acquired LSD from an 88 300zxt. Anyways, I have to swap rear covers, and I will therefore change the diff oil at the same time. The question is has anyone tried redline oil in an R200 LSD. I currently have redline in my R200 open diff and am satisfied with it, I'm just not sure how it will work with the clutches etc in the diff. Should I use redline? or just put in stock stuff? Opinions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I ran it in my LSD unit (87 R200) with no problems! Good stuff!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I also used it and the MTL did wonders for my 5-spd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 Thanks guys for the help. Diff went in today. But not the way I planned it. I was going to swap covers to fit into my 280Z. My mechanic/z car builder had different plans. He felt it was not a good idea to reduce the cooling capacity of the lsd. Sooo we left the finned cover on, and redesigned the control arm mounting bracket...that is very much in the way of the finned cover. Well its in, looks great, is stonger than stock, and most importantly.. it is an lsd baby! ya! Now all I need is for this snow to melt, so I can go and give it a try!
