2way LSD install cost

[stichy]

What sort of price are people paying for an LSD to be fitted.

Something like a tomei diff or kaaz .

I would also be fitting a 4.03 crown wheel.

 

Thanks

£0

But in a serious note, you will need to disconnect the driveshafts and prop shaft along with your exhaust if its like mine, then dismantle the diff and swap in the new one so probably 3 hours work for a good mechanic? or couple of weeks for me.

I've been quoted £180 fitted inincluding collecting and shipping it back buts I've got to remove the pumpkin myself

All I ment was fitted into the pumpkin. And all set up correctly.

Not fitted to the car.

£180 seams a good price. Not to bad then

If you have the skills to remove the pumpkin then you should manage the setting up.

Just a case of deciding what lock you want and positioning the plates accordingly.

About a 2 hour job on the bench.

From looking at the workshop manual and Kaaz 1.5way instructions, looks quite easy. No need to dismantle the Kaaz diff, just use 8 (i think) new bolts to attach the old ring gear, side bearings and washers from the original diff then swap in new side oil seals where the driveshaft side flanges go and top up with oil. The big issue I can see is hopefully there is enough room to angle the new diff in without scratching anything and it should line up the ring gear and drive pinion fine.

Just re-read the title, 2-way, see above headache.

It's getting the correct mesh on the crown and pinion gear that seam so exact.

It that a std lsd in bits ?

Are many people running a 3.9 or 4.03 crown and pinion ?

And what difference does it make?

The image is of a 2 way Kaaz which I was setting up at 60%

Setting the plates to get your desired lock is easy as there are to types of plates(smooth and rough) and you are just deactivating some on both sides spider gears.

However you need a press to install the new side bearings and oil seals for the driveshafts but importantly various size shims to get the lash perfect. You may also need new driveshaft circlip and new bolts depending on if you maimed the old ones.

Fitting a FD at the sametime would make sense if that's what you want but involves even more work and precision to set backlash properly.

IMO if someone quoted you £180 to to this and that includes the new parts I'll bite their hand off.

It took me +4hrs to do mine but that was because I thought I had bought a 1.5way lsd but was sent a 2way and I was fighting the cams to set the cross shafts

as 1.5way until Adrian and Darren pointed it out that the diff looked nothing like the pic of the 1.5way but a 2 way. It helps to have mates to help. I'm also glad now I got the 2 way.

FWIW if you intend to dIY you should get a fitting kit which will have all the parts you need to get it right. You can also get different thickness of shims from Nissan.
