have you considered doin it yourself...

will save you some money

they arnt over complicated just take a little time and get annoying... i did swear id never do another diff after the last one i played with in an r32 however lol

take out the diff housing and just give it to any diff workshop and they will be able to do the swap for you. or as mention above do it yourself

remember you must run in ur kaaz lsd then change the oil straight away, if not you risk damaging the lsd. you can not skip the run in or else the diff wont work correctly

i am thinking of doing it my self, rough idea how long it will take, what tools will i need etc, how would i run it in and i will just use the left over redline oil i got sitting at home then after run in will just put in the kaaz right.

don't use redline, redline oil is to thin for kaaz diff and result in you damaging it. also it will increase the noise of diff. you should have enough oil to do the run-in and then refill the diff

should take you a few hours. tools you will need is a socket set, a hammer :domokun: and if you have the r33 service manual it would be helpful as it will tell you have to take the diff out

Kaaz has instruction on run-in

Breaking Procedure of new Kaaz LSD

All new Kaaz LSD needs to be broken-in to seat the clutch plates. Applying too much torque when the unit is new will cause damage to the clutch plates and may result in plates forming a angle fit. Once these plates form an angle fit, the LSD is unable to function at 100% efficiency. This will also result in more chattering noise under low speed turns. It is very IMPORTANT to perform the breaking procedure as described below.

Chattering Noise That May Occur

All clutch type LSD's make chattering noise under low speed turns. This is normal for these types of LSD. The reason for this chattering noise under low speed turns is that the clutch plates are rubbing against each other thus giving you the limited slip action. If the breaking procedure is completed according to the diagram above and proper maintenance of the LSD is performed, the chattering noise will gradually decrease after accumalating some miles.

Oil for Kaaz L.S.D. DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC BASE OIL ON KAAZ LSD.

It is important to use 80W/90 GL-5 specification gear oil on Kaaz LSD. We highly recommend using our own Kaaz LSD fluid. DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC BASE OIL ON KAAZ LSD. Kaaz LSD may not function smoothly.

L.S.D Oil Change

When one has a Kaaz LSD, it is important to do routine maintenance of LSD Oil. We recommend to change LSD oil every 5000 miles for daily driven and occassional track use vehicles. If the vehicle is full race,we recommend more frequent oil change.

By changing the LSD Oil , Kaaz LSD will give you a long life span. Take care of it just like your engine.

where am i going to find enough space to do that, get pretty dizzy doing that for 30mins hehe

late at night, in a car park etc, somewhere with a large space. because its at low speed you shouldn't attract to much attention but if you do just move on and do it somewhere else.... my mate did something similar when running in his kaaz

There's a guy on SilWA that knows his shit - Dalspec - $200 installed.

I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself unless you know about pre-loads and what not...

Maybe if you were installing a 2nd hand centre into your bunky... But for $1000+ worth of brand new 2way, I'd want all my backlash etc setup right....

    • 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... HTH
    • 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. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
