I will be installing my new quaife LSD , nismo diff cover and drop engineering transmission mount on 9/2 . Really looking towards the LSD with my 4.08 gears . I will let you peeps know how it goes ...

GRRRRRRRRRRRR........... This site and uploading pics sucks.......

 

 

Ha ha ... I love it .. I will take a few today..

 

Was your OEM LSD malfunctioning?

 

Nice!

 

I'm wondering the same thing ... as I'm headed down the same route with the gears. I chewed up my left rear in 7000 miles - I can imagine with the gears that will only get way worse. Local shop quoted me $590 for the gear swap, might as well put in a LSD while their in there.

The Giken LSD seems like too much - money/performance. Waiting for a pm'd price for the Quaife. Any reason in particular you found for choosing this one over the others.

Off topic - still looking for a list of parts for the gear swap. Can I pull those from the FSM? Is there a parts catalog? And some input on what should be replaced, or at least ordered to have on hand to prevent possible downtime ... bearings, etc?

Subsrcibed - when's it going in? Can't wait to hear your impressions.

EDIT: nevermind I see the install is tomorrow.

 

Nope . Rode in a buddies g with a quaife LSD and it made a huge different . I also am probably going to buy a gtm stage 1 sc..

 

I've been waiting for the supposed press release for the Stage 2 - you've given up on it?

 

The OP can verify this as he's alrady had the gear swap done. Got this PN list from another forum.

 

Cool. Can you describe what sort of difference you felt? How was it better than with OEM?

 

Thanks BB! I had pulled that same list as well but wasn't sure if it was the same in ours. I think Bone said he only needed the spacers, hopefully he'll confirm. I'll probably get all of it and just send back what i don't use.

Will wait for his install, just to see what we need for the lsd install - bearings, pinion adjustments etc.

Any place in particular you guys like to order these from?

 

My stock lsd has been working fine so far. My rear tires aren't happy but who listens to them haha

 

I got the quaife + 4.08 and youll love them. One thing though, I am a 7AT and I feel my Transmission not struggling but barely keeping up with the shifts with the 4.08's, I was thinking of Super Charging as well, but my thought are if I should keep the 4.08'S? Also I can't use my stock FD with my quaife LSD right? since it is a Manual LSD type?

 

Im trying to figure out how a new LSD will make a difference, when traction control takes over even when switched off.

 

Really? - is there a thread on this somewhere you can point me to? Hell thats part of my startup routine, turning the VDC off.

I don't autocross, where it seems you might really notice the upgraded lsd in the corners ... but I do like it to hook up at the light/strip ... I was just wondering if it would be worth it for straight line acceleration?
