vlsd is dead. any way to revive it? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i neglected my vlsd and it no longer works. is there any way to bring it back to life? change diff oil to redline? anti slippage additive? i either need to get it cured, or i will need to buy a new one just to get into my driveway. thanks in advance.

as far as i know, vlsd = sealed unit. that means no rebuilding. an oil change _might_ help or just find another one... they're cheap.. better yet, ditch that piece of shit for a clutch type.

you can buy replacement parts from nissan to rebuild it, they do sell the actual vlsd disc hockey puck looking thing. whoo that sounded smart, haha. depending who you know might be cheaper to just buy another used vlsd if upgrading to a nice aftermarket one isnt any time soon.

mistaanime · 09-06-2004, 03:32 PM
