Nissan Silvia Fan Club

I believe so. It's a direct swap out from the USDM diff and the JDM diff for the S13, so whatever they came stock with over in Japan.
 
Used to be but never posted so I got deactivated. I'm on Club240sx, Texas240sx, and Houston-Imports.

I just got a JDM S13 VLSD for my car!!

Is it used, refurbished?... If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for?... I am looking to buy the same thing for my S13 Coupe... I'm also wondering what the cost of instalation would run, roughly?... I'll probably end up swapping it out myself, but if the instalation isn't too crazy, I might save myself some trouble...

Installation of a differential pumpkin isn't hard, there are four bolts that link up to the driveshaft and six bolts on each output shaft area, then there are two more where the differential is held onto the chassis. If you are swapping the differential inside the pumpkin then there are two bolts on both sides that you will clearly see, make sure you knock out the output shafts with a hammer, pending on each pumpkin, you might have to hit harder to pull it out. after removing those and the four bolts, you can get the differential out of the pumpkin. Remove the ring gear that is attached by bolts and attach the ring gear onto the viscous differential, then reverse the process. If you open a pumpkin, DO NOT BREATHE! Gear oil is the worst smelling thing ever! Remeber to not use synthetic oils too.

But anyway...

Why go viscous? Viscous over time becomes an open differential when it heats up and the gear oil loses its thickness. Viscous requires the gear oil to be in motion in order to spin the other wheel. It is totally relying on fluid motion to spin both wheels at the same direction, also it will only do this when traction is lost. After a while it heats up and the fluid heats up as well, and anyone that has taken basic chemistry knows that when a thick fluid (80W 5) heats up it becomes thinner thus not be able to spin the viscous differential.

For me, I run a Tomei 2 way LSD. It's a mechanical clutch type of lsd that engages as soon as torque is put on it. It uses clutch plates to lock up to spin both wheels, thus no need to lose traction just to spin both tires, and there is no fluid heating problem. However, mechanical LSDs aren't cheap, ranging from 800-1400, however, they are the only way to go. If you want to learn off a vLSD first then move to a clutch type, you will change your driving style completely, thus buying that vLSD first is not a good investment. Save your money, and get a clutch type whether it be KaAz, Nismo, Tomei, Cusco, etc.

I wanna join, it's my favorite car :cheers: , I even read every single post. I can't see any of the good pics like the Impact Blue Sil-Eighty, and finally WHY CAN'T I FIND A 240sx ANY WHERE????!!!!!!! :grumpy: :mad: 🤬 :banghead: 👎
 
Well, I installed a JDM VLSD in my S13 (with JDM 5 bolt axles), and I'm lovin' it... Much better response than the open diff... My main reason for installing it was my open diff was blown, and I wanted a VLSD in the car anyway, to get ready for an eventual Kazz 2-way install... Anyway, now I am working on a few other problems...

My main concern now is the stock suspension... I was going to just go with some Tein S-Tech springs, and KYB AGX adjustable shocks... However, I quickly realised this just wasn't going to cut it... Therefore, I am going with a full coilover setup...

SPL KTS coilovers are my main target at the moment... I am looking for at least 8/6kg spring rates, although closer to 10/8kg would be prefered... I also looked at Ksports...

Does anyone have any experience with either brand... If not, which coilovers would you reccomend?...

Oh sweet, Count me in.

I have a '97 240sx it's automatic, but hopefully not for too much longer.

I'm on it like a fat kid on a cup cake. Consider me in.

Proud owner of a Nissan Gazelle S12 (converted from an imported Silvia in the late eighties). Standard CA20E engine. .. for now. LSD at the rear, exhaust and intake, injector modifications and a few extra gauges for flavour.

The Gazelle in action
 
I like S12's, I helped a friend swap a SR20DET into a Australian one (CA20).
 
Mine's technically an Aussie one, but was originally a base model Silvia with an FJ20E. Whoever got it first stooged all the fun parts and made it basically an ADM with AWDiscs and IRS (both of which have been removed for cost of replacement reasons).

Is there an sr20det s14 in the game besides the 270r? All i see is a 240sx which is the ka24de.

The S14's in the game (Assuming GT4) are actually Japanese Silvias with SR20DET's that have only been renamed but the spec stays as a Silvia. Just check the specs you will see its still the 1998cc version.

Viper said it... There are no KA24DE powered vehicles in GT4...

It's just a badge switch...

Something that bothers the purist in me...
