Installing A Mechanical Lsd Centre Into R200 R33 Gts-t Housing Help?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

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.

Slotting in bearings and seals isn't really my concern, pretty straight forward when you think of it!

*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.

this is the shimming tutorial, you pretty much have to do the same thing.
