Outer Limits 4x4 Board

As the title says...does anyone know?

If they did is it possible to swap the LSD centre between different ratio MQ diffs?

Cheers

most of the ones from europe did,mine is from switzerland and it has one.

They did, mostly MKs.
Yes can swap in rears h233b 160 style.

Bazzle

Mine did, turbo deisel deluxe wagon though. It had all the fruit except paint which peeld off due to shitty preparation on Nissans part. Before all the Yota guys bag me they did it too at about the same era but theirs were red.

Got one if you want it $100 + postage $25

DR Frankenstine,

are you pertaining to LSD for an MK?

How would I know the particular model of my MK? I'm from the philippines and own a w160 lwb 5 speed.

I tried spining one rear tire while my rig was on a lift and the other tire turned in the oposite direction, so i guess I don't have LSD's.

TIA,

kamote

Note that that test only works with the transmission in neutral (and t-case-mounted parking brake off if applicable), otherwise it will spin opposite regardless.

oops...i don't think i released the handbreak. I will try the test again to and I'm hoping with the slightest change that my patrol got LSD's on it...better than nothing i guess...


Thanks ExterraGuy

it would only spin opposite if the lsd is stuffed

Yup, would have to be pretty shot to spin opposite with the driveshaft free.
If you recall from your last test when the driveshaft wasn't free to spin, the other tire will spin opposite regardless, but if there's an LSD in there it will be somewhat to considerably harder than with an open diff depending on what condition the LSD is in. If it took any effort, you should have the LSD and don't need to re-test.

LWB MKs are sh1t common for LSD's........

The one Shawn and i just stripped for example had one in it we think.

The LSDs are interchangeable just like all centres are through out the entire MQ/MK series, as long as theu have the standard H233 Diff in it, ( 95 % of them, its the std diff ).

The only thing u have to be wary of is ratios. If u put an LSD in the rear u have to make sure that the ratio of the new centre is the same as whats currently in your rig.

hmmm........after some inspection, i can say...........it is a LSD!!!!!!!

Let me see if I understand . Your comment about making sure the ratios are right would only apply if I took the whole diff centre (crown wheel & pinion & LSD) from another truck and put it in my car as is? Correct?

If I took the LSD centre (no crown wheel and pinion) and transferred it to my diff, this would make sure I keep the correct ratios front and rear. Correct?

YEP!!!

I have a MK with an LSD rear, do any or the front diffs come as LSD aswell

NO. MQ/MK fronts never came out LSD..... only rear

and no other rig with LSD can transplant into that front either.....

screwy

i read in another thread that the terrano rear diff will fit the front of the gq. will that be true with the mk too?

Screwy, so you say that no MQ/MK's came with LSD front diffs, if you go on the theory that if you jack up your car and turn one wheel, and the other wheel turns in the same direction, then you have an LSD???, well that happens to my front diff, does that mean anything??
Cheers

if you say get a mate to try and hold one wheel still, can you still turn the other? it would be strange are you sure its not an auto locker, or something like that? how hard is it to turn with hubs locked off road,

It has automatic hubs, when unlocked, one wheel turns the other dosen't, once locked, they both turn the same way, I will get someone to hold one wheel and see if it still wants to turn
Hoppy

The Mk has been stripped to the bare Chassis, so when the wheels are off the ground, and you turn the front shaft, both wheels turn the same way, when you turn a wheel by itself, only that wheel turns????
