bonvo Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 might i add from what im seeing if your putting this into a 610 its completely plug and play so to speek the splined shaft that goes into the diff on a 610 is the yoke on the halfshaft Quote Link to comment
ohpyramids Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 im looking for a ratsun-priced-option for using an r160 + CV axles in my 71' 510. so far the easiest option ive found is Todd Walrich's (wolfcreekracing.com) bolt-in kits for the 510. are there other, cheaper, ways to use subaru CV axles? interested in ditching the stock half shafts.

Whoracle Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) look at philcas (think that is his user name, philcas87 maybe) build thread, iirc he used the CV adapters someone either here to at the510realm makes, and used VW bus axles. Here is the info: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=14627 they are vw bus type 2, with mattndew adapters. the write up for these is in the how-to. shh i cant afford WCR!!

qwik510 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 How can you tell if the rear is a VLSD? Anyone have any pics of a VLSD with the cover plate removed to show what the internals look like? I have a newer Subi R160 Rear that I think is a VLSD but I am not sure. I do know the ratio is 4.11:1 According to the info Kurt provided, it could be from an Impreza or a WRX. I got it with a car I bought. I would like to know for sure. It has been sitting in my garage for a few years. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 The vlsd looks like an open diff but the ends of the carrier at the bearings is bigger, atleast the vlsd that i have, just do a Google image search and youll find alot of pics Quote Link to comment

domn8tr Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Im in the process of fixing all the editing, formatting, and possibly adding pictures to "spice up" the original article... but here is what was linked to originally. It wont be going anywhere like the previous pages http://www.garagebluebird.com/articles/subaru-lsds-into-510s/ I noticed this info is about 10 years old now, and doesnt cover the Subaru R160 VLSDs that came in WRX and Outbacks and others from '99 and up. Any subaru legacy outback with cold weather package from 99 to 03 will have VLSD R160, and any Outback from 01-03 will have the VLSD as STANDARD equipment. Look for the heated windshield wipers and heated seats to know if the car has cold weather package. These cars are now over 10 years old and very easy to find. I found three R160 VLSD equipped outbacks in the Ecology just this weekend. They are available in 4.11 for the manual transmission outbacks and a nice zippy 4.44 in the automatics. In '99 Subaru changed their VLSD design to no longer require the longer extra set of splines on one axle to engage it. This means all you have to do is have some c-clip gooves machined into the end of your factory Datsun axle stubs and they will clip right into any '99 and up Subaru R160 VLSD and will engage the VLSD and work just fine! The machining cost only 60-100$ This makes the total cost for a 4.11 VLSD under 200$!! Thats a real ratsun price for an LSD! some pics of the machinging: http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3881 Quote Link to comment
housew Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 awesome. This seems like a VERY good option for a cheapskate with machine access such as myself. Quote Link to comment
