$1000 for LSD is the average price and u dont want to get oem one from someone's car because u still need a few stuff just to make it work with the base model so u might as well buy a new LSD.

You could not pay me enough to put a phantom grip type on even if they existed for the Z33/V35.

The thing about the Nismo LSD is that it comes will all the parts you need to do a open diff conversion. If you did not get those parts with the Nismo you be looking at $300 for LSD stub axles, and $100 for LSD bearings and seals. That's $400 in required parts that come in the Nismo box. It even comes with diff oil.
The Nismo diff sells for $950-$900, installation is usually $400

Well, the Nismo is where it starts price wise. Call it the price of admission on the course to improving your car. I followed the ill advised temptation to skimp on spending money and I have a $900 hole in my pocket and a oem VLSD conversion that isn't a 1/4 as effective as I thought it would be. I paid the price for not really thinking things through.

If you're getting clutch-type LSD NISMO is the best bet, since they supply you with everything you need. Kaaz is slightly cheaper but they don't give you peripherals. However, if this is your daily driver, the noise may get to you.

After reading through both the included instruction manual and the FSM, I would suggest that you have this installed by a transmission specialist. The tolerances are tight, and a small error in alignment could destroy the gears and require an entire new rear-end.
Mine will be going in next week
