I have a 97 se, and I was wondering what type of aftermarket LSD I shoul get. I have seen a few on ebay from JDM S13's and S15's and was wondering if these would be just as good as an aftermarket LSD. Price isn't my first worry I just want the best performing LSD possible that isn't of an insane price.

you have a LSD if you have a 1997 SE. dont bo buying an aftermarket unit that you dont need, they run between 600-1200 dollars for a good 6-clutch per side mechanichal LSD, or a good viscous coupling diff. invest your money in other places, like the engine and suspension...then when you breka your stock differential from too much horsepower(...hahahaha..good luck..they cant take a LOT..r200 is pretty beefy) then worry about upgrading it.-chetalso, read the differential primers.

It has ABS and yes it does have an LSD I even checked for the orange dot. Ok so aftermarket is expensive now what LSD's can i put in as a direct bolt in. Do the LSD's out of silvias just bolt in or do i have to chang e up the housing and/or shafts

if you have a LSD, why would you want to bolt in a "silvia" LSD, thats what you HAVE. your not making sense, unless your one of those "JDM: obsessed people...like the guy on ehre who goes "I have a JDM rear subframe".....

ugh. anyways, dont mess with your diffy if you already have a LSD until you get serious power, or race it and need to change the split(1 way, 1.5way, 2 way, etc) or type(viscous, mechanichal). invest in some headers, a high flow cat, or other performance mod.-chet

i have a high flow cat but i was wondering would a header make nore power than if i bought an Unorthodox Racing ultra SS pulley kit

Also if i did buy the header how exactly coudl i make it not show the check engine light for cat failure

I know lots of people have asked this but im still kinda fuzzy on what to do exactly

I'd drift ya for it but it'd be kinda crazy with my auto transmission :(

Think I'm gonna go Kaaz 1.5way LSD for my 240sx h/b from Daunttless unless someone wants to sell me theirs for a good price :)

Forget all that NA crap...get an SR or RB motor swap...there's your power.
