well i finally got my 95 vlsd....and i come to a desicion to install it my myself. i think i did enough reseach to be able to tackle this job. it seems to be a bolt on affair. 4 bolts to the propellor shaft and the 6 bolts on each side of the output shafts, 2 bolts holding the front diff and 2 bolts holding the rear. that should do it.
i'm going to install this tonight, just need to get a couple of tools and the diff oil (2 quarts of 80w-90 gear oil, is this ok?)
just wanted to let you guys and gals updated on my girl....
finally got my hands on a 95 vlsd!!!

yup, sounds good, its basically take out, put in affair, lotta bolts to remove and replace haha, but thats jut time consuming, other thing that can be a pain is wiggling it back in, but its not bad at all imo, and yes standard gear oil will work fine since the vlsd unit is a sealed one. Have fun, its a great upgrade, i put a 300zx na vlsd in my s13 a lil while ago, definately worth the effort
well...my baby is now equipped with a vlsd, man i so happy :asmile the only down fall was that i could't fully test her because there were about six or seven cop cars w/ lights on (due to a party), maybe that was a good thing.
so now i just have to check for leaks and get ready for the d1gp on sunday :asmile
the install was alot easier than i excepted. you definately need two people to do this job!
i could tell an immediate difference with her, i could accelerate harder out of a corner. breaking the end loose isn't as easy as before, but then again there were cops last night.
i'm just so happy.....not just because she got an lsd now, but i installed it myself.
well my next project is to remove the battery to the back and make a custom intake, so that the air filter will be behind the passenger side foglight (if it doesn't go well then i just buy an AEM cold air intake)
ps did i mention that i'm one happy mofo....
