LSD Tech

Post by Santos »

YEah i search gave me a a lot of info on lockers with a minute reference to LSD in every post (suprising 'LSD' nly fits in one page')

Now i have my cultus motor and besides being extremely moist i have upped the hoarding of my parts for aa sleeper builder up (my car is really only for soft off-roading like sand and snowfields) so it's nice to keep a look out for supplementary stuff like power steering and auto locking hubs (from what i've read there worth a try, be nice not to have to get in and out all the time just to sacrifice a little control)

The best quote i have is this:
SiKiD_01 wrote: lsd = limited slip diff, allows for a certain degree of slippage before a locking action. sometimes does not lock 100%
these may not be available for some vehicles, if it doesnt come factory with one, dont worry about it. or if you insist, its expensive.
What i wanted to know was any JDM zook's (including Suzuki Sport) have lsd's or is it strictly after market? What brands are out there? Anything to look out for when buying second hand?

Basically there for WT diffs and i really want to avoid using other diffs if possible.

the import was it a f6a or a g13? I know the 'Jimny Wide' wast the jdm 1300cc and would prob fit my diffs if it had an lsd option, the little f6 where in nt chassis (even after 88) so imagine they aren't suitable correct?

Was looking at buying a sierra the other day and the guy that owned it said it had a factory LSD in it when he got hold of it but it was stuffed. It is a 87 LWB import and he reckons there is only around 400-500 of these cars in Australia. So not many factory LSD's in Aus to start with and i dunno how many would be still kicking. Sounds like they are pretty rare but this is only second hand info. Maybe try a parts importer? Let us no what you find out. Nev
