Hi there guys

Problem: I bought a KAAZ for my car which is for a Viscous LSD but mine had a 2 way mechanical in it, so the shafts are different and it wont fit :)

Solution 1: I need the shafts off a Viscous LSD to be able to fit this Diff. I'm willing to buy them if you have them laying around.

Solution 2: For those people looking for a Mechanical LSD. (only if you are 100% sure you have the viscous LSD).

Ill sell you my second hand one which is getting retighten as we speak for only $400. so basically it would be a swap you get my housing with my mechanical in it and ill get your crappy viscous :) to put the new KAAZ in.

It would have to be done ASAP cause I need to get my car on the road.

Any help would be appreciated, I have my car on stands at the moment waiting on this :)

Cheers

Ric

are you sure they wont fit? they may be the same size, splines, everything its just that the gears inside need to line up in order for the shafts to slide into the splines. you have to get someone to spin one side while you push the other axel in....that is that this is the problem.

pm if you want more info.

Nah mate, the LSD is at 'Diff & Trans SA' in the city, and they are the ones that say it wont fit.

Apparently the shafts are different on the Viscous LSD, one of them being longer than the other (not sure).

Thanks anyway, if you know of someone with this laying around, let me know

Cheers

well in the end I had to go and buy a complete viscous lsd from the wreckers, cause they wouldnt separate the shafts of course. :P It was a pretty sweet price mind you. :D

Yes Cubes, it seems it is one of the Nismo centres with 2 short axles.

So if anyone is interested id have a complete housing with a mech 2 way in it for sale, watch the for sale sectoin soon or PM :happy:

Cheers

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
