Vintage Racer Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm new to this site - got turned on to it by a friend who races BMW's - said I should check it out. Definitely glad I found it. We're currently vintage racing a 1968 510 4-door. And I'm looking for a place, preferrably in the greater Seattle area, that can rebuild/install LSD's in R-180s and 200's. Any suggestions??? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I ordered my R180 LSD from a Nissan dealer in California called Calmini Offroad. When I get home on Sunday I can post the link (I'm camping right now, gotta love the iPhone :) ) Quote Link to comment
willmtr Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 You can do it easily. All that you need is a jack and a 1/2" drive with sockets. Quote Link to comment

When I get home on Sunday I can post the link (I'm camping right now, gotta love the iPhone :) ) Is this the link Ice -> http://www.purenissan.com/r180_lsd.htm Did they confirm what input shafts they use for these centres? is it standard nissan? i.e. datsun half shaft or nissan 280zx cv will fit? If they suit a stock input, i'm definitely going to get in contact with them! Quote Link to comment
Vintage Racer Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks for the info. We've got several complete rear ends - different ratios, etc, but the LSD's are shot. And the driver doesnt like running a welded locker. So I'm looking for a shop that could rebuild them. Quote Link to comment

Yes it accepts the bolt in stub axles, the dust shield will have to be cut off if you are steeling them off an R160 though :D I spent 550 or 600 I forget. Quote Link to comment
