Ive seen this Japandy guy on ebaymotors pushing S15 helical lsd's and cant get a straight answe if they fit the R200 diff for S13 or S14 and related side shaft and bearings. Just wondering if anyone has successfuly transplanted the S15 LSD into their cars or if this is just a rip off.:confused:

can you elaborate on why ride4lame? I've heard different rumors that you can use the vlsd shafts, and have heard that you need the s15's. I've never seen a straight answer as to why..

i read up on a bunch of threadsit sounds like yes, u do need the halfshafts from the S15 to fit ur helical

im confused as to one part saying that if you install it, ur 1st gear redlines at like 55?i didnt know gears of the S15 affect ur car that way, thats wat im unclear about though

Wow, you guys are behind the times. There are 64864684654684684354 threads on Zilvia about this. I have an S15 diff for sale, with a pending buyer. If anyone is interested, email me, and if it falls through, I'll let you know.

They will go in an R200 case. I have one installed in an S13 open diff case. You HAVE TO USE the S15 output shafts, or it won't work. Mine is in a case with S15 output shafts (6 bolt shafts), so it's ready for fluid and to be bolted in.
