Exclamation Limited Slip Differential

Hey guys, did the 87-89 300zx Turbos have a LSD rear end? I thaught I remeber someone saying they did. I have to do a clutch and fly wheel after this weeks outing to the drag strip, and figured if I could find a LSD I should do the whole thing since I'm under there. I ran 14.78 in the quarter @ 93mph with only cold air and exhaust done, not bad huh.

Yep... 87-89T's have the lsd. 88 SS had the viscous. BTW: they're not easy to find.

Kinda... As I stated above, the 88SS had the viscous lsd which requires different cv's... so you want the 87-89 turbo clutch type... which is hard to find. That's why I posted the link above for new lsd's. Oh... and WELCOME TO ZDRIVER!

Not in Texas Bleach, I guess there either on the road or have been crushed. I hit like five yards this last week looking for one and nobody has seen one in a long time. If any body is in Texas and has any info I could use it here in Austin.

This site seems to go through spurts of complete inactivity. So I don't regularly cycle through it on my list of sites to visit daily.
