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.

well im gonna take it to a diff plkace this arvo and get it checked out.

ill let you's know the results.

someone form another forum reckons i should open it up and see what the actuall diff insde looks like.

if the diff itself tersts fine, ill open her up and look for a label and take some pics.

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.

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
