Pics worked fine for me, but they are certainly big :)

Looks like a clutch centre LSD, but the pics of ends of the pinion carrier don't have the appearance of a Nissan centre (sorry, hard to explain) - possibly something from an aftermarket manufacturere (eg Kaaz or similar).

Anyway, definately a clutch pack LSD.

cool, how much do they ruffly cost?

New ??, haven't looked lately but certainly $1K+

Secondhand - depends on condition, not to mention what buyers will pay :(. Someone was selling an R32 LSD diff (complete) here recently and wanted $500 - don't know whether it sold or not. Your diff seems to have 'problems' from what you've said (sorry, maybe I've read wrong), so that affects the price.

hey, i open her up last night and there isnt any damage.

there was about 6 flat plates and 2 springy plates on each side of the spider gears.

i didnt get a chance to take pics, but i can draw up a diagram if needed.

does this mean its adjustable if i remove some of the plates?

Based only on the number of plates, it sounds like it's been shimmed tight. In standard form there are a total of 6 plated either side of the spider carrier. But it's important to note that it's not just a question of the number of plates, but the thickness of some of the plates as well.

It would have been better if you'd measured the break-away torque before disassembling the centre. In stock form Nissan factory mechanical LSD's have quite a low break-away torque (only around 30ftlb). Normally we add one plate which brings that up to at least 80ftlb.

Measuring the break-away torque is relatively simple, but you need access to good torque wrench, plus some sort of adaptor to the stub axles. Probably best to get someone to do it if you don't have the experience.

ok just got home nd checked it out, it doesnt haave any markings on it, and it isnt a kaaz diff.

there are some diiferances in the kaaz pic to this one.

this one has 4 plates on each side plus 2 spring plates which makes it a total of 6 plates on each side.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
