no it wont fit the s14 rear axles have a different bolt pattern. i got my vlsd for 150 out of a wrecked hicas car i cant see paying more than 400 for a lsd 2 way or 1.5 the vlsd worked nicely

yes they will...there's just something about the mounts that you need to check. Look over it at the http://www.240sx.org installs...

and aftermarket clutch lsds are great if you dragrace or have 1000 dollars to blow...

hey! VLSD's are perfect for the ameatur drifter. I drive my friends Hicas s13 and it drifts good! Only thing is, we don't have enough HP and torque to hold drifts for a long time. I like the VLSD. It may not be the best, but it really, really works.

ive just had bad experiences when you are just starting to get the rear fluid warmed up, its not so reliable as to whether or not its going to lock. every car that ive driven with the vlsd (my friends 400+ hp turbo 90 RX7, my friends miata, and my dads truck) had problems with its feel of "am i going to lock this time?" while every car ive driven with a clutch type (my 88 NA rx7, my 350 hp 69 camaro (before i sold it :( ) and my dads 69 corvette) have been absolutly expectable, and totally lock happy. not having driven a nissan VLSD may have been a shortcoming of mine before i posted, and i intend to check out a nissan VLSD, but i will always go with a clutch type.

Well I do mostly drag just due to the lack of drift venues around here. So I would be better off going with something like a KAAZ 1.5 diff?

well, as I said, we have stock cars. Our HP is not high, it's only 155. SOOO as I was saying, if you're just getting started, the VLSD is good to start with, because IT WILL LOCK with a stock setup.
