Help J30 Vlsd Swap In 240sx

[awdstroker]

Was up everyone i had a question about swaping a j30 vlsd in my 98 240sx with a rb25det with no abs. and my deferential on the 240 did not have lsd in it it was the one wheel wonder,, and the j30 vlsd has abs.. well i tell you what happen i swaped the deferential out all i ahd to do is use the back plate off of my deferential on the j30 cause mine had 2 bolt holding it on and the j30 had 4 so i swap that and it bolted right up, then i bolted the drive shaft up to it and when i did that i felt like it moved?? and it did when i drove the car i was making a grinding noise around the tranny so we measured the deferential and the j30 vlsd was haft in shorter the the stock 240 deferential so i guess it pulled the drive shaft haft a inch from the tranny and it was sliping?? can some on let me know what i have to do to make the j30 vlsd work on my 240 with a rb25det.. cause i really dont want to take my drive shaft to a shop to let them cut it and make it a haft inch longer, the drive shaft was built for a 95-99 240sx with rb25det with no abs and it was like 500 dollars so i really dont want to cut it can i use a spacer or something to make it work?? thanks again froe your time..

1) Capitalization.
2) Punctuation.

These two items above will do wonders for you if you use them properly. I've read your post three times and cannot begin to decipher anything from it, other than the differential you installed is NOT a J30 if it came with a 4bolt rear cover.

You might want to take a spelling class too.

Try again.

huked on foniks werks fur me, lol

search for which vlsd fits from a j30, I didn't have abs, but the j30 did, but it fits just fine

to answer your question. no the J30 LSD internals won;t work on the 240sx open diff. and to use the J30 VLSD u need an ABS driveswhaft, since you have a 1 piece driveshaft you will need to make it 1/2 inch shorter. my suggestion. would be to just get A) a real LSD, or B) WEld your open Diff.

It sounds like you have the wrong diff... pics would help but I agree that you should weld your stock one up or buy a real diff...
