Write up on LSD install?
I searched far and near and couldn't find anything written up on installation of an LSD. In paticular the NISMO LSD. Anybody have anything written up that could help me install it? And I mean from scratch, not a prebuilt unit?
Pleeeaaaaaasssseeeeee heeeelllpppp meeeeeee

You do not have the specialized tools required, look at the shop manuel and you will understand. Frankly, make sure the installing shop has someone that very good at working on diffs and fine tuning them.

AARRRHGGG....I dont have a choice!
Surely it can't be that freaking hard, it's just a differential, not a space ship. I just might be at a loss for tools, and even then I could compromise in some way or another? I've looked at all the parts (in pictures) and have worked on transmissions of several types before, just not an LSD install. Maybe I'm way off here....

How can you not have a choice?
Is it money? It's just not something you'd want to attempt yourself, especially when you consider the repercussions of an improper install. You don't want to ruin the differential or the transmission.
I guess you can try pm'ing j's350z. He has a NISMO LSD that he installed, but he has a full-service shop and knowledgable people.

exactly...any competant tranny shop can do it for you for a minimal amt of money.
Even witha full service shop at my disposal, I was not comfortable installing my Cusco one, so I had it done at a locally tranny place....had the car back in about 3 hours.

The install itself is not that difficult, for the Nismo unit. I probably would not reccommend it for the DIY'ers but if you must the special tools needed in the manual are not needed.. If you want to email me @ jason@racemrc.com I could fax you the instructions that came with the unit. The only thing you are going to want to do is check the backlash when you disassemble it and reassemble it. This is done with a dial indicator. But, like I sad before, this isn't a mod you are going to want to do in your garage on a Friday night. Also, it is 10 times easier if you drop the whole rear out of the car and work on it on the bench..... Good Luck!
