TIPS: S15 Helical Installation

[Matej]

Actually, now that I look at that Cedric LSD, it looks to me like a Viscous, and someone got really scammed, haha.

And you'd be an idiot for thinking that

You can SEE the helical gears....

Wait, aren't you the one who posted that on Z ilvia?I don't think it's out of a Cedric or a Gloria though, they came with VLSD's. Unless it's a 2000-up model, I don't know about those.

I am. You can see the tops of the gears sticking out of hte case. From what I can gather, it was the australian/russian models that came with the helical, only.

I'm so tired of this ****--- it's definitely a helical! I don't remember seeing you there during the install....

Haha, sorry man, I don't mean to be a pain, it's just interesting, you got lucky.

[e1_griego]

No, it's fine. But if you look at the pic you can see the ends of the gears...vlsds don't have that (I know, I had one).

Here's great thread about how to take the diff out.

I installed the diff back on the car last night with no problem. My wife helped me with a floor jack. Believe it or not, rear sway bar helped a lot. Good thing that I didn't remove it. Jacked up the diff and put the final drive shaft on the sway bar and it was easy to maneuver that way. I felt like installation was easier because I didn't have to break loose all those tight bolts and nuts.

Sorry for the late reply. You can get them from here.

If you scroll down, you will see their part number '1205G-148-RS500' in Nismo section. That's it. I talked to Ken w/japanparts.com and he added the bolt to their catalog for me.
