B00STDZ Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Go to the Vendors Forum. They sell an Electric power steering assembly through zccjdm.com made for the s30. Works same only no horsepower reduction... You sure its lsd? Posi and lsd are viritually the same... posi is american, lsd is japanese....

bLaCkONbLaCk Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 yea im positive it is limited slip but i want full time positive traction bc mine will only posi up when its wet or on a down hill grade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I bet you're wrong on that. How did you test that it is a limited slip. Did you do a burnout and leave two tire tracks? The Z's do that with open diffs. Do a search and you'll find metric ass tons of info on limited slips here. Yes, that is a technical measurement.

webster280z Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 "yea im positive it is limited slip but i want full time positive traction bc mine will only posi up when its wet or on a down hill grade" my 280z has a stock diff and it spins both wheels when it's wet out my neighbours, friends, parents of friends and a couple members of the Ontario Provincial Police will back me up on that P.S. a full posi in an s30 probably work that well, ie. trying to turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLaCkONbLaCk Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 no im not wrong and when i come out onto the road and i get on it it spins one wheel not two. it will spin two wheels when its wet or on the slick kind of pavement like iin my shop but not on a regular asphalt road when its dry it will not spin. it is lsd i know what it is i want a true positive traction rear end meaning both wheels spin at all times!!!! oh yea and lsd isnt the same as american posi my chevrolet and my ford truck both have lsd meaning both wheels wil only spin in certain conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtmny1999 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 no why You dont have a LSD, R200 LSD's came in later model Z's. Look at the stickys under drivetrain and read, read, and read some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positraction was GM's name for the Eaton limited slip back in the 60's and 70's. The name has become pretty much synonymous with limited slip differentials. Chrysler had Powr-Lok, Ford had Tru-trak. They are all limited slips. You have an open differential. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_slip_differential How differentials work: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential.htm Differential description: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential1.htm Open diffs: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential2.htm Clutch style limited slip: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential4.htm Viscous LSD: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential5.htm Torsen: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential6.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=92318 I have an open diff in my Z, I know, I've had it apart. I've also done a burnout in the parking lot and seen two black marks on the pavement. Like Jon said, it's semi-normal Z behavior even though it has an open diff. Be careful not to murder the spider gears getting one wheel spinning too fast though. It also took me all of 5 seconds to type "power steering conversion" into the search box, and the first page of results had three separate threads that dealt with different racks and conversions that have been done in the past.
