Shimmed VLSD

[Brandon240sx]

Anyone ever used a shimmed VLSD ? I picked up a stock VLSD out of a 97' s14 for $75. Trying to figure out if i should put it in my s13, shim it then drop it in, or get a LSD. Not gonna be using it as a track car for a while so it's gonna be a car I take out when I'm bored and drift in some open parking lots. I have no experience with diffs.

What would you guys recommend I do?

shimmed is cheap, locks harder than most diffs and holds up pretty well!

I suggest you start using the small questions thread and searching instead of making a new thread every damn day.


Also, if you want to search zilva in a more expeditious manner go to google and type in 'shimmed VLSD site:zilvia.net'; I found multiple shim threads and it took me 6 seconds to do.


ending the search in 'site:zilvia.net' will give you results only from zilva.

shimming a VLSD causes it to wear out quickly... save the money and buy an HLSD out of an S15 with the output shafts.
