Who makes aftermarket diff covers for the s13? I want more fluid capacity when i get my lsd. Nismo used to have one that held 3.8 pints vs stock 2.25pints but they dont make it anymore. I checked with nismoparts.com and my local nissan dealer. Can you guys point me in the right direction..I'm looking for something like the greddy unit but that only works for s14's. Thank you.

I'm gonna do my HLSD swap soon, so I'm thinking about this too. The only thing I know about the Greddy cover is that there's one on eBay right now for about $225. I don't think it's worth it, and if it's only good for S14s its useless to me anyway. The Nismo one pops up occasionally, and usually goes for around $75 or so.

why not just run a diff oil cooler?

Or just buy a VLSD, swap covers, and sell it for what you bought it. Diff oil cooler is a good option as well.

how much of a total cost is that compared to a diff cover? do you need to install a pump too?
