My LSD is all fukered up i thinks. So i was wondering what the ideas were of getting a nice new one for CHEAP. I have seen prices for the NISMO and KAAZ 900-1600 bux, the J30 i think is VLSD(which i dont want viscous do to the fact i like to drift). what about the Z32 or a brand new OEM, a trans shop(aamco) said it would be 1400 bux to rebuild it. i am doing peg legged burn outs about 30% of the time. please help me on this one.

ok, the Kaaz 2 way is a "clutch type" right? the multi disk one? Isn't that just a bunch of viscous connections? I don't understand ish about differentials, mainly the differences between 1-1.5-2.0 ways and viscous/clutch/whatever.

welding the two shafts together would be the cheapest method.

Viscous has problems with fluid breakdown over the years. Im not sure if you can replace the fluid or not (its silicon).

You get what you pay for.
