Overhauling LSD - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Well I don't even have LSD yet(not the hallucinogen you fewl!) but I just got done watching the Best Motoring Drift Bible with the Drift King, and he mentioned overhauling your LSD once a month if you drift 5 days a week. And if your only drifting once a week, then you should overhaul it about once every 8 months. Does anyone know how to overhaul, or how much it would cost to be done by someone who knew what they were doing?

Thanks

I'm guessing by over hauling he means rebuilding it and replacing the clutch plates. Could be wrong..

yeah, overhauling an LSD would probably consist of taking it apart, replacing the clutches, and putting it all back together according to spec, making sure all the proper clearances are good. it is not really that easy to do yourself, you have to know what adjustments affect which clearances and specs and such, and you need the proper tools to take measurements and make adjustments without screwing up. i'd say just replace the fluid often and you won't need to get it overhauled so often, but it's a good idea to get it done by a professional or at least someone with the proper experience and equipment.
