Get the lsd from the Z. Or look for an Infiniti j30. They have an lsd too.

a few months ago i found a datsun 510 race car with no exhaust manifold on it, until we looked in the trunk, there was a turbo attached to the missing manifold. it had a vented hood, and a cool lip. by far the coolest thing ive found in a junkyard. this was in va also

I dont know if ill be able to meet up with you at the race, because that day might be kindof hectic, but if you can come out to dinwiddie on the 3rd to the autocross, that would be great, if you have a spare $45 you can register at http://www.nasaracing.net.

you might be right its been a long time.i might have to break out those vhs.i bought this 89 240sx backin march.dude that had it did not do any maintenance to it,but put in a new transmission,rear,and fuel pump.engine was disgusting.had it steamed,change the leaking valve cover gasket,new ngk plugs.magnecor wires.rotor and cap.intake adaptor.replaced the cat with test pipe,cut out the resonator,and put on a new exhaust.dont want to much attention from the police just yet.it still has a nice sound. well new problems came up such as rusted battery tray,cutting that out and putting the new optima in the hatch today.lowered the car the other night with tein springs.2 wheel studs on each rotor were stripped,so replaced all of thoseyesterday.im an enkei dealer so i just got the bronze evo5 17x7 for front and 18x7.5 for the rear they look hot.had to yank alternator today& steam clean the bottom of the engine this weekend.its never ending.still have to take out the aiv,put in new pcv valve,clean throttle body,hopefully ill have it out of my shop next week.

Brake master, all 4 calipers w/drum, aluminum rear knuckle "upright" w/black spherical bushings, 5 lug rear hubs, e-brake cables. Hell, just take the whole rear end and master cylinder..

if you just want a quick bolt-on type of brake upgrade--grab the front calipers and rotors off of the q45.....rotors just have to be redrilled and no master cylinder or booster needed....
