Hi Guys,

I recently purchased a 1.5 way mechanical lsd off a forum member and am keen in installing it myself instead of forking out $400~$500 to do so.

Question is, is the process as simple and taking out the centre and putting in the new centre? I know there is a requirement to adjust whiplash, but from my understanding, it is just shimming up either side of the centre so when power is applied the centre doesn't move to one side when power is applied to it.

So my questions are:

-- where can I purchase washers to suit?

-- how many do I use and how do I gauge how much play it is suppose to have?

-- does anyone have a guide I could use?

-- who can do it in their backyard and properly?

I've searched through 19 pages on this forum, but was unable to find a guide. I used the keyword "lsd". If there isn't any information, I might just bring it to Award Diff and Gearboxes in Seven Hills.

Cheers!

Take it to the professionals mate. You need to recondition the diff with bearings and seals when you take out the centre. Not worth the f*** around if it's your first time doing a diff...and you won't do it right the first time anyway.

*Chokes* Quote from a renown Diff and Gearbox Specialise.

1. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in the vehicle (drive in/out) would be $690.00. We would need the vehicle for 1 day.

2. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in just the diff would be $525.00

3. Cost to install Nismo centre supplied by you if you bring in just the diff and supply all parts would be $250.00

Please note that prices 1 and 2 include new pinion bearings, which usually need to be replaced when fitting the Nismo centre.

Please also note that if you bring the diff only we can supply oil to suit, however we cannot fill the diff with oil as it against EPA laws to transport the unit when filled with oil.

Prices 1 and 2 take into account replacing the pinion bearings and oil seals in the diff and supplying suitable oil, any further parts/repairs needed (if any) would have to be quoted after disassembly and inspection of your diff.

We are fully booked up until Christmas and fast filling up fast for January next year. If you would like to make a booking please give us a call as soon as possible. At the moment we can fit the diff only in from the 4th January 2010. If you wish to bring in the whole vehicle we could fit that in from the 11th January 2010.

Thankyou for your enquiry and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
