I dunno if this has been posted before, but I just wanted to contribute something for all of the info I have gained from this forum.

The install I am posting is very vague. Its just something for reference, if you are deciding to install an LSD. This NISMO LSD kit is very complete and was installed on my base model 350z. It took approximately 1-1/2 hours.

 

 

not a bad write-up...very good pics...maybe I'll attack this if/when I decide to upgrade my LSD. Thanks for the contribution!

 

Nice write up, what tool did you measure the diff alignment with?

And I take it, you didn't need any shimming?

 

Thanks man!



...but one and a half hours? I don't believe it.

 

1 1/2 hrs. is impressive. Having a lift and all the right tools though makes any job a lot easier. Nice write-up.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys!

The install went by quickly when you have a few extra helping hands...

Gsedan35 - I used a magnetic based Dial Indicator gauge to measure the backlash. For my install, the shims that were originally in the diff worked out great. Another friend of mine who did the same install, did not need any other shims either.

 

Thats my next project on my base Z, Thanks for the info.....
Great write up.
