Simple Question: j30 lsd in s14 . . .

[payingfors14]

hi, i'm a new and proud owner of a 1995 240sx se 5spd:D and i live in the seattle area. i was wondering what exactly i need in order to install a j30 lsd, and seeing as i am rather low on $$, is it cheaper to get a used s14 unit from japan? I know it doesn't fit right in, but it doesn't seem like it would be too hard . . .

search is your friend. well l covered topic but Im bored so I'll induldge you just this once. after this search.

depends on the year. 96+ bolts right in 95- either need the axels as well or sideshafts from a VLSD equipped Schassis

96 s14 lsd or j30 lsd?

he was talking about 96 + s14 vlsd,

95 + j30 rear end is a pretty much bolt in affair for an s14
some say you need washers...some say drive shaft has a lil play where it bolts to diff...but for most part ive heard it goes right in :)

Washers are for installing J30, S14, or 300ZX diffs into S13s.

The play is actually a lack of play after the diff is installed, because of the ABS sensor.

there is an s14 rear diff on gspeedcorp.com which i'm guessing would fit, but it's someting like $500. does anyone know where i could get one for less?

junkyard. i have a 95 j30 in my 95 s14. fits right in. was a [email protected]$#% to install. but it fit nice and tight, due to the abs sensor. make sure if you do the install yourself, get a buddy or 2 to help you out. not as easy as i thouhgt it would be. heres more info. click (http://www.240sx.org/links/installs/lsd2/index.htm)

95 and up bolt in . pre 95 you need the axles . Or 6 bolt output shafts for VLSD . Or if you are really crafty with a lathe and grinder you could make your stock output shafts work but its a pita of machine work.
