Do you use the car mostly on the street? If so, having a minispool will make negotiating tight corners a bit more difficult due to the fact that the diff is basically "locked".

I can't really explain it in the best way, but someone else will give you a bit of a better explanation soon I reckon.

Dude i woudl save the extra and go for the LSD... My mate had a Minispooler on his VL and PAIN in the ASSS..... If u want a rough ride wif as chubbs said a useless turning circle go for it... but not the way i would be going..

greg you eva see portia do a u turn in shepparton in his bluebird?his diffs welded but same shit, has to go out wide to turn, wheels screeching all the time...

yeah i dunno im thinking about a mini spool coz im low on cash at the min dude i just bought a manual conversion n short shift n shit...

i thort u were going to hang shit on me...

when u gettin ya 33 back?

lol na not yet :( theres a whole diff centre etc. on calais turbo but its $950 vl turbo diff  3.4.5 gears with a mini spool...yea hopefully after this week should be ready to start, but not run on the road...when u coming down again...

this weekend its leighs engagement shin dig... hopfully ill have my car back, i dont wanna fork out another k for shit at the minute coz i cant afford it. so thats y i was thinkin mini spool coz they are only a few hundred...

i hear mumet wants to sell his sik vl that runs 11's :wassup:

I recently bought a KAAZ 2way mechanical LSD...i dunno how i lived without it

Iv also driven cars with minispools, and i think some peoples experiences and complaints about "turn circles" and "parallel parking" is over zealos. I had no issues and wonder what peoples complaints are sometimes.

If you want friendly driveability, get yourself a daily...personally i love a raw feeling car

Sure, you lose some sort of "daily drivability" and your rear tyres get scrubbed out but thats the price we pay when it comes to modifying our cars. Considering you're getting a mini spool in the first place, i gather you'er not one to really care about tyre wear on the rears.

Buy it, youll LOVE it and youll wonder how you did without it

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
