Yes you can

Good luck finding one at a wrecker and when you do be prepared to pay through the nose for a used part. Also note that 2nd hand units with more than 80k can start to open wheel more than you would want to as the silicon gel in the vicious centre degrades with age/use

Might be better off buying a brand new quaife centre like I did

Well, I just got a VLSD from a 350Z today. Cheap Cheap. low-ish kms on it, so should be ok.

Now I remember that 180 had some issues with his stub axles or something, was that right? When the Quaife went in?

I'll just have to see if it goes in the rear end :blush:

I agree with the other guy that the 350z diff probably isnt worth your hassle. Especially if you've only got the centre.

The viscous unit is not that great. On my car, sometimes it felt like it would initially lock up both wheels, then go single spinner, then lock up again if i gave it enough.

I had a proper 2-way LSD on my car for a while and it was MILES ahead of the factory viscous unit. Noisy as all buggery though.

The ATS Carbonetic centre, with the carbon clutches, seems like the ultimate option. Been in a car with this and it was quiet. Haven't been in a car with a quaiffe but it also sounds like a good option

Its better I have it... postage to the Westside would have made you its bitch.:ermm: That, and I bought my car from the place he works for!:laugh:

Yeah, I know the VLSD isn't top notch, but its not a track car, needs to be quiet, and well, it was cheap!

With the AWD system, I don't get spin anywhere ATM, But when it goes rwd, I want it in there.

Hmmm... some more info on this -

Looks like you need VLSD halfshafts to do this. I think they are different - the open diff has just one set of splines, while the VLSD have two separated sets of splines.

Looks like i'm looking for more parts....>_<

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
