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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
