Vlsd???

[N0RCALDIME]

looking to get a VLSD.

possibly looking at this

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/1103315136.html

it's a VLSD R200 from an Infinity J30.

is it correct that i could just bolt/mount this to the stock and have a vlsd?

any modification required?

thanks.

Says: The lsd can also be used on many datsun or nissan cars i.e. 510 240z 260z 280z 280zx 300zx with mounting modifications.

 

I'm no expert but it looks too short for a 510 diff and there should be four mounting bolts at the front.

 

Also I've seen open diffs that would turn both sides in the same direction when turning the input. You have to hold one side tight and be sure it's turning or not. I just sold an R-180 and it would turn both in the same direction.

 

I would find out more first. Look at yours and then that one.

why do you want vlsd they suck the oil heats up and your lsd stops working half way through a slide

VLSD is the worst of the lsd's performance wise but it's also the quietest and most problem free. So if you don't plan on tracking the car it's okay to use one. Hitting the track though I'd go Quaife or maybe G&T. For drifting lsd is a waste, just weld the thing.

 

 

It's kind of silly to think any late style lsd is going to bolt up without any modifications at all. Say nothing for the fact they are 2 completely different differentials, one being a short nose r200 and the other a long nose r160. One using two different length cv half shafts and one using 2 equal length universal axles, way different mounts, there is more, you get the idea........

 

I would read on of the lsd write ups over at hbz, the realm, zcar etc... so you get a better idea of what your dealing with.

Amax makes a great LSD that will install in an r-180. The vLsd is way overrated. dont waste your money.

I have an R220 VLSD from an Infiniti Q45 in my LS1 powered 240Z. This is Not a bolt in diff by any means. A custom front mount is needed as this diff is a short nose diff. Custom C/V axles too. Modified moustache bar or aftermarket one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That being said, I have had no performance issues with the VLSD. I do several track days per years and a few autocrosses too. This rear has performed great in all types of use.

if you are sticking with your l18 just get a subaru r160 lsd its a direct bolt in

Ya def the easiest way to go.

idk way people always bash vlsd's, I ran one in my 240sx, an i am going to run one in the 510.. i drifted the piiss out of the 240 and never had a problem with it. i also did some autox with it.. an byt he way I pulled r200 short for a friend this weekend out of a q45 and that thing is huge, i would stick with the r160.
