I opened a VLSD pumkin and found this - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

AeBaSupLook · 06-30-2005, 02:28 PM

Me and a couple of buddy put together some money to pick up a couple of VLSD. I got one for my brother since I don't own a 240sx, but I help him out with his car since he is only 16.. Will I open up his vlsd to make sure everything is fine, put new fluids in there, etc.. and.. I found this..

A very low mile, still shiney clutch LSD. I had a feeling that this last pumkin had something in there. Normal vlsd, you can turn the output shaft the oposite direction slightly.. and I tried for this and couldn't break it.. So he got lucky, now can someone idenify this? I was looking around and can't find a good picture to compare with as to who made the lsd. I didn't find any parts number or anything so comparing it to pictures is the only thing to do. It don't matter, but its interesting to find out.

aww man lucky ahha =)

coldfire07 · 06-30-2005, 03:27 PM

That's my ATS 1.5 way

Similar, but not quite it. There's one off the list for you.

justinhustle · 06-30-2005, 04:00 PM

looks like the nismo one not the 2 way version though

Dousan_PG · 06-30-2005, 04:18 PM

looks like nismo. imo
rotate the ring gear to see what numbers are on it, maybe you got a nice final drive too
what are the numbers on it??

krustindumm · 06-30-2005, 04:40 PM

looks like a 2 way, see there are ramps in both directions, and they look roughly equal.

nigel1 · 06-30-2005, 04:54 PM

nice find kevin...

I still need to pick up that one from you...

AeBaSupLook · 06-30-2005, 07:43 PM

Coldfire, its very close to your ATS LSD, do you have any more pictures of it, maybe before it was installed?

At first I thought it was a Nismo unit, but I remember the cap has little ribs around the bolts..

I aready put back on the rear cover and its going on tonight. I might open it back up and take down the ring gear number, and count the teeth..

LoL, Nigel, your VLSD is just sitting there waiting for you to put it in use.

Thanks

coldfire07 · 06-30-2005, 08:21 PM

Sure, http://www.coldfire07.com/s14/alb-110704.shtml those are all the pictures I have. Here's what's different though, mine only has one of these holes.

Chernobyl · 06-30-2005, 09:25 PM

you lucky son of a......

I once opened a VLSD pumpkin to find out that its a regular "unlimited slip" differential. I was kind of expecting this thread to read more along those lines...

Dousan_PG · 06-30-2005, 09:28 PM

dont wste time counting teeth
just read the numbers on the ring thats it.

Inland180 · 06-30-2005, 11:21 PM

it does look alot like the nismo. not too sure

SochBAT · 06-30-2005, 11:54 PM

Thats just trash.

send it to:
1170 w.10th Street
Pomona, CA 91766.

I'll get rid of it for you. And give you my VLSD. Im feeling nice.

BoroBoroS13 · 07-01-2005, 09:57 AM

This happened to a friend of mine as well... Lucky is all I got to say.

aznpoopy · 07-01-2005, 01:58 PM

What final drive would you consider nice? Just curious.

Dousan_PG · 07-01-2005, 10:29 PM

i love 4.3 drive (i own 2 different sets of them)
4.6 depending on tranny
4.1 aint bad
3.9 depending what you do

anything other then stock, 4.08

SAVAGE1 · 07-01-2005, 11:05 PM

My "VLSD" came with a 4.3 drive and a Nismo 2 way. Came with my front clip for an extra $150. When I first got it I changed the fluid and threw it in. Started hearing clunking noises and I was spinning 3k RPMs in 5th gear on the freeway... I was like WTF

supportTHEezln · 07-02-2005, 12:59 AM

You lucky bastard. And I agree with the nismo comments.

JDMs13 · 07-02-2005, 07:46 AM

my 89 silvia K's has 4.08 out back I believe. On the highway in 5th at like 75-80 im revving at 4K! Sucks on the freeway, but awsome everywhere else. I have a U.S. final drive that I planned on trying out, and I was curious if both ring and pinion are different, or just the ring gear. My VLSD is gonna get swapped with a welded diff for the time being, and I wanted to try out some taller gears.

JDMs13 · 07-02-2005, 07:55 AM

is the tranny's gearing different depending on what motor its mated to......ca. sr. ka.

Dousan_PG · 07-02-2005, 10:05 AM

you need BOTH ring and pinion

Correction:

4:36's out back. Took it out yesterday to experiment with 4:08's. So far, so good. 4:36's are super short! Reminded me of 4:11's in my friends stang.

How many different variations are there?

_____________

boosteds13 · 07-14-2005, 04:27 PM

only gear difference in those 3 trannies is the SR has a slightly taller 5th gear

JDMs13 · 07-14-2005, 05:28 PM

Why did dousan say 4:6 depending on what tranny you have then?

Because you could have aftermarket gears in your tranny. You could also be running a sequential gear box. You could even have a non-S-chassis motor and tranny in your car.

I have no idea... but the CA powered cars all came with 4.36 rear ends. The Silvia and 240SX both had 4.08. I can't remember what it was, but there was an SUV that used the R200V that used the 4.6 rear end. It did NOT come in an S-chassis though.

Eddie@Performance · 07-15-2005, 01:22 AM

thats does looks like a nismo LSD. hmm... nice find man, was it out of a jdm car? alot of them have upgraded lsd's.

I dont think it was a suv...Nissan didnt make any "pumpkin type" diff on SUV's till recently, and even then, they dont use a R200V...are you sure its not the wagon from the JDM market, something like the Stagea? I dont think there was any SUV from the US market with R200V pumpkin....
