Series 1 CA Silvia open centre with abs.. will lsd centre fit ?

[rexhunta]

Since the search function takes me to 15 million different threads about nothing, can someone help me out here..

Picked up a viscous lsd from a series 2 SR k's sil, which has no abs and no hicas ****.

Will the viscous lsd straight swap into the housing of my open centres q's, or will the housing, axels and then a non abs brake booster, and hicas locker hafta be installed to get it all working ?? when i look at the 2 diffs speraretly, theres a cable ( i presmue for the abs) thaty goes into the diff housing itself, which the lsd doesn't.. any help guys ??

I picked up the lsd and axels, as mine are a 6 stud housing, and the lsd is a 5 stud ala R32/z32 centre

The pumpkins are all interchangeable. The actual viscous unit and the output shafts are the only important parts.

Z32 diff + S13 chassis- you need S13 or S14 vlsd or J30 output shafts.This has been covered 1000 times.

Not using a z32 diff though !! i'm using a s13 k's series 2 diff !!!

All short nose R200 pumpkins are interchangeable, inside and out. I think that starts with the first z31. But z31s are a little iffy. my s130 has a long nose R200 aka a 10mm. But even then a later R200 diff (aka a 12mm) will swap in aslong as I take the later ring gear.

Its really easy. Does your output shafts look like the attached pic? If not then you need the axles from a 1990+ 300ZX or similar 5-tab w/ one hole each pattern.

Axles from a Z are too long. You would need the axles from a J30.

Whoops, sorry. ^^ correct.

Okay, i have the whole rear cradle... camber arms, control arms, diff holder, axels, lsd, all from an sr silvia.. which are a 5 stud lsd housing..

i made sure i got everything.. gunna use this cradle too, as it seems just easier.. i've ordered race type aluminium cradle bushes, which look like this

since the subrame is out, it's easier to buy these ones, then to get the other thinner ones that you don;t need to drop the subframe..

As the ABS goes to the centre of the diff housing itself, i have decided i'll just get the non-abs brake booster and lines from a 1/2 cut my mate has, and dith my abs unit.. seems the most logical way around this, and the safest way.. my abs fuse has been pulled anyways, as i really hate it.. and i think to beat the hicas, i'll just get the lock bar, as i hope it it'll fit on the back of that the lsd, and actually work.. if not, i'll just take it off and ditch it.. i hate hicas anyways... it's more fun when it turns itself off int andways..

You can swap the guts into your open housing but you'll need to use VLSD output shafts. To make the 5 star work you need 5 star axles from a 180sx or 95+ J30 (Nissan Leopard). If you can source some 3 star (6 bolt) VLSD output shafts you can use them with the newly swapped VLSD guts in your old housing with your old axles. If you are talking about the cable going into the diff toward the front its the speed sensor ABS ring, you can just ziptie that up or cut it off. I'd ziptie it up incase you ever re-sell the diff to someone with ABS.

Forgot to mention......if the gear ratio is different between the two diffs you'll need to keep the ring gear and pinions matched....and the ABS pinion is longer so it wont work in a non ABS VLSD housing.

.and the ABS pinion is longer so it wont work in a non ABS VLSD housing.

That is the info i'm looking for..

So heres a photo of everything i have.. it IS the rear cradle from a series 2 silvia, not 240sx.

this is why i wanna use the whole lot, bnut i thought it maybe easier to just insides, but instead, i think i'll just throw the whole cradle instead. thanks to all who have replied, but i think you guys are thinking of a different way to what i wanna go. thanks though.

Ah.....so you just wanna swap entire rear subframes? It'll work, should be straight forward. I'd put some new subframe bushings in beforehand while you're at it ......if you have the means.......(torch and BFH).

That subframe looks just like some 89's I have seen over here in the states.

Yeah, in the end i'm going to just swap rear subframes instead i've decided, much easier, and i'll just put some of them aluminium drift pineapples in, stiffen it up a bit more. so much easier then messing with everything else.
