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.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
