whats the best way to get a new lsd for a 90 240sx?

[newton240sx]

should i buy a new lsd or go lookin in junk yards? ive been looking around and i from what ive seen in junk yards, there really isnt any 240 that looks good enough to actually take the time to remove the differential. I was just wondering what to do since i know a couple of you out there have had a 240 with an open diff and have had it switched. help is much appreciated.

[numbnuts240]

just get a j30 diff.

[newton240sx]

where do i find that at?

[blacksrjdm]

Just get the stocker welded.

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

you can find j30 diffs at the junk yard, also hicas 240's have vlsd's also found at junkyard/craigslist/for sale threads

that or you can get your stock diff welded but its hard on tires

[cheezy240]

is the j30 lsd made for drifting only or can it be for drifting and daily driving?

[blacksrjdm]

SEARCH PEOPLE SEARCH. No, no factory LSD was made for any motorsport. The J30 is the car model that the diff would need to be removed from.

Weld Your Sh*t, Super Fun.

I like your sig, OP. Its funny to me. Wheel specs on your s13?

Here's everything you need to know about LSD's. Read it all very carefully. http://www.ka24development.com/vlsd.html

Cliffs Notes: Keep your eye out for '95-'96 Infiniti J30 diffs.

You read that link, too.

[cheezy240]

hey man, this isnt about the lsd's but i saw your 240 and that was a great buyyouve done some extreamly nice work dude i plan on getting a coupe as well where did you get your suspension from?

and did you ever figure out how to change your name?

[mRodiek]

I would go with a J30 diff because it was more than likely NOT beat to s***

[myfirst24010]

i out a vlsd from an s14 just had to swap the spindles and rear cover to the s13 ones and pop it in at the same time put new gear oil oh yea and bought the s14 to s13 rear diff bushings from splparts came with bolts and all

[mRodiek]

Oh yeah you need 5bolt axles or flanges as well.

[OutToWinPAHC]

No that's only on the earlier J30's The later ones use 6 bolt output shafts.

But J30's are old, even though they weren't beat to deal, they are old. Usually 100K plus. If you put it in and beat on it, it's just going to go open on you sooner then later.

Save up and get a clutch type, Kaaz and Cusco and the Nismo units are cheap (not super cheap)

if i were u i would just shell out the money for a brand new diff. ur gonna need a good 1 for w/e ur doing to the car.i have a friend who has a tomei diff and its awesome. its all up to u. y spend extra for a j30 wit mad miles on it when u can buy a brand spankin new 1. like i said up to u

^^^ get a new one. VLSDs are very unfufilling and unsatisfying, specially when you gotta buy another one when you burn it up in one weekend

"There isnt any 240 that looks good enought to actually take the time to remove the differential? Hey, a clean 240 does not equal to a 240 equipped with a vlsd.

Stop comparing a new lsd to a vlsd with tones of milages to a weld diff. Its all about how much you have and how much you are willing to get one.

And the comment about no factory LSD was mad for any motorsport? You are so wrong... There are a lot of stock cars that runs clutch type and hlsd for your information, and they are pretty go for motorsport.

To the OP: what are you going to do with this car? Daily? Weekend car? Track car? Drifting? And what's your budget?

There isn't a lot of things that is about the same when one is worth like 200 when the other is at least 500+ plus installation fee.

my vlsd has lasted just fine. i run my car at the drag strip and never had it burn up. sure its not as good as a clutch type but its not THAT bad. for the price you cant beat it. well if you know where to buy them cheap at least. best 30 bucks i ever spent on my 240

mine works perfectly and has for years. i'm really anxious to see it perform with the bigger shim, but it hasn't given me any trouble yet. its from 96 180sx
