how easy was it to swap over to gtst lsd

did it just bolt on or did you have to modify

thanks eryc

bolted straight up to my type s... no mods required

from memory there is about 3 axle stud patterns.

there is a yellow/orange "L.S.D." sticker on the top passenger side of the diff housing. above the axles.

hard to see from under car. could try with a small mirror.

cheers

lsd's work to a point the allow a certain amount of slip, hence the name "limited slip", if u have one on grass and one on tar the one on the tar is still moving ur car but the on the grass is moving slightly faster, not sure how the skyline diff works but in commonwhores the amount of slip is controlled by springs kinda like a clutch, tuffer springs equals much less slip and the other way around as well.

so now i have worked out i dont have a lsd

and now would like to get one

any sugestions where to try to get one

and certian i have vvt so this means only can put adjustable cam gear onto exhaust side is this right

thanks eryc

Be careful when dropping the diff out, as croosers diff almost removed my testicles. I was lying under it to pull it out. Bad idea, rather heavy. Drop it down with a jack. Also make sure you have all the tools before starting!

[eryc]

thanks slip you dont have any ideas where in brisbane i could get a lsd do you

[slip]

import wreckers. just ring around. alljap in underwood, ask for Jason.

wait...

i dont have a jack that can jack it up...i jacked up one side..and turned the wheel...and it mananged to turn, does that mean no lsd?

on a 7k and then clutch dump, the car is moving, and im drivin, how do i even know if one wheel spins and the other doesnt?

and WHY would one wheel spin and the other not?

thanks guys...ne way of just lookin under and knowin if u have an LSD?

dont know what that flange flange thing is either..

hehhh

pardon my ignorance...

[nismoman18]

get under the back of ur car and count the bolts man, it seems LSD came with 5 bolt flange and non LSD 6 bolt flange, which means axle setup and everything is different. With an open diff u get slipage hence u get one wheel spinning cos the other gear isnot moving. in and LSD it transfers the torque evenly, u shouldnt really get wheel spin unless there is too much torque. Or sumthing like that correct me if im wrong!

[streamer]

the bolts on what?

what is a flange?

where shud i be lookin for these bolts?

[nismoman18]

the diff is dead center between the rear wheels ok, well call it a metal ball, a flange is like a bolt holder cos u cant have two pipes just joined together with bolts so its the flat end piece that holds the diff to the axles. The bolts are on either side of the diff
