just looking for a guide on lsd for the z31 because x-mas is coming up

when swapping a lsd all i need is the lsd right?

if i swap a 2 way lsd do i have to get a different differential carrier too?

thanks

All you need is an LSD from a 87 - 89 turbo. But I'm sure Evildky or az-zum will let you know anything else.

the "carrier" is the LSD unit itsels, if you get the 87.5-89 300ZXT donor complete in it's housing you'll get the 3.7:1 gearset as well, not sure what ratir the 2+2 came with, in any case if you want to keep your stock ratio you take the carier out of the turbo donor and apply your ring gear and put it in your case and set your backlash

if you buy a cusco, quiafe, powerbrute or some other aftermarket carier, you get just the carier in which case you'll need to put your ring gear on it and put it in your diff case and set you backlash and off you go

the one vairable I see is if you get a VLSD from a 88SS or a 240SX, t you then need the output shafts and halfshafts from the 88SS
