S2000 Lsd

[guitaraholic]

I've read somewhere on one of the Nissan forums that I often visit, that someone either used an S2000 LSD in a 240, or a 240 LSD in an S2000. Either way, does this mean you could use an S2000's LSD as a "possibly" a cheaper alternative than an S15 HLSD, because I believe that the S2k's LSD is a torsen, which if I'm not mistaken is the same as a HLSD.

would be intersting to find out the details on this!

an s2000 hlsd is known to be extremely weak. Even a mildy powerful SR or KA would blow one out of the pumpkin. They're only designed to handle about 140-180ft lbs of tq. You try shoving 320-350tq through one of those and you'll have a nice big mess of gear oil under the car.

if you want to know about cheap diffs look into rx7 pumpkins...Either way this is silly. S15 diffs are 500 bucks, damn cheap for a diff. if you're really desperate there is always OBX! How much are those suckers again? Has anyone had problems with them yet? I never kept up with the thread

or junkyard diffs.... so yeah S2000 not worth it, wouldnt even dream of it, the rear ends on those cars are like the weakest part of it.... they dont handle power and any motor in a 240 produces more torque then an S2K will ever see LOL

It was a 240 diff being used in a boosted s2000.

Just get a real diff.

S2k stock diffs are TLSD= Torsen, the weakess
FD3S = HLSD = Helical, non wearing out and great for S2ks
240 VLSD = Viscous, wears out but beats TLSD
TLSD- too slow to react compard to HLSD/ VLSD

why bother?
j30 vlsd on certain years that fits a 240 is only like 100-200 bucks in the junkyard, and they are usually not beaten to death since it's auto, and people who own them are old
no need to mickey mouse to fit

Helical diffs wear out as well.

they're trying to use gears as friction devices, shit isn't magic.

S2000 uses an R180, the same as subaru.

people will put in the R200 and subsequently the rest of the S-chassis subframe because its stronger and the geomerty is more suitable for drifting.

Torsen and helical type diffs are the same thing, just different names. Clutch, helical, viscous, open, locked. Those are your options.
