| Post subject: | LSD for Z31 |
Hi, I'm looking for a limited slip diff for a Z31. This is for a lemons race car, it needs to survive for 16 hours of hard running on a road course. Willing to purchase, borrow, rent, or any other creative option. Thanks. |

Is that the one with the finned rear case? What other cars (beside the Z31) used it? How can I tell if it's an LSD by looking at it? |

Z31.com has a bit of info on when the factory shipped the LSD --- http://www.z31.com/mods/drivetrain/differential.shtml I'll see if I can find a picture. I have never actually seen one myself. There were also a number of aftermarket solutions that could be used to modify the stock open diff. Some of these are real junk and are available on ebay, after checking those out I find they are not suitable for race use and would likely induce a failure. Some of the more robust solutions came from companies like Cusco but I can not seem to locate any. I figured someone here might have one "hanging around", it was worth a shot anyway. thanks for the reply |

Yes, the fins would seem to indicate there's an LSD inside --- http://forums.nicoclub.com/rare-z31-eur ... 18988.html |

If nobody chimes in saying they have one laying around their garage gathering dust, I suspect your best chance of finding one might be with our member Paul M in Rhode Island [http://forums.ctzcc.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=719] , or with our member Clive (Evil Z) in New Yawk, [http://forums.ctzcc.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=755], or with Bedini Motorsports in New Milford [http://www.ctzcc.com/images/bedini.pdf]. Give Vinny Bedini a call at 860-355-182*9 and tell him you're our Club member (so is he) and ask if he has what you're looking for. He has a huge inventory of good used parts in his Z speed shop business, just like Paul has. Frank |

For quality aftermarket clutch-type units, Cusco, Tomei, Nismo, Kaaz are all good buys. You want to get the models for the 240SX (non VLSD). I have the Tomei 2-way and it works great. Check out: http://www.frsport.com/Tomei-562021-Tec ... _1374.html Used OEM LSDs for the Z31 are pretty much all gone. The few that are left typically fetch a price higher than a brand new aftermarket unit. For Helical LSDs, Quaife makes a high quality, but pricey product with a lifetime warranty. The cheap eBay flavor is known as the OBX r200 helical. There are some forum posts about it and it is not a half bad copy of the quaife, but the hardware (bolts, spring washers) are trash.
