Fitting An Lsd In A Series One Stagea

[RSVFOURUK]

I have just got hold of a Series 1 stagea with a factory LSD fitted

Thinking it would be much more use in my rb26 manual stag than in an auto one so would be grateful of some help/comments

I am assumng it will be worthwhile as cost is not an issue as have the donor car so can swop any/all bits -All Ive got to worry about is actually swopping the diffs

Will I need to swop the front diffs as well ( different ratios ?)

What other work will be involved

If you go up to the DIY sticky above you will see a thread on swapping a GTR diff into a Stagea (the opposite of what you want). It is not an easy job. I would have thought your 260RS already had an LSD but if not you would be better to look out for a GTR lsd - they often come up on ebay e.g.

ps I assumed that you had a 260 RS but if you have dropped an RB26 into a stock Stagea then it should be a simple swap. Check with Nissan FAST to see if the diffs are the same ratio.

Car is series one stagea with forged rb 26 and GTR gearbox so has the same diff as a std series one stagea

Yeah, but is it a series one RS-Four with RB26 fitted later on, or a factory series 1 Autech 260RS?

If it's a genuine Autech, I'd say it should already have full R33 GTR running gear (including R33 GTR suspension, diffs, drive-shafts, etc.) so the parts from the RS-Four *might not* fit. I'm not sure if the RS-Four and 260RS/GTR diff housings would be the same, so who knows if parts would be interchangeable.

sorry I can see my first post did not make things clear.

In an ealier life it was a series one RS four auto .

It has been converted to manual with a Tomei RB26 engine running just over 500bhp at the wheels. (which is why I want an LSD)

Although extensively moddified it still has the RS Four drivetrain with std dif. Ive wanted a LSD for some time but I cant use a gtr/autech diff without a major amount of work.

Altough rare Ive finally found an auto series one car with the factory LSD option so it should physically fit without a problem. (hopefully)

My question was does any one know what other work/problems I will need to sort.
