Limited slip diff stuff

1) How many out there run a viscous LSD?? and are there any running a mechanical LSD???

2) What LSD's are compatible with the Primera G20/P11? From what I know they don't come standard with an LSD anywhere in the world. Are there any other Nissan LSD's that will go straight in to a G20/P11.

3) The reason I ask this is to save me having to order a Nismo Mechanical LSD from Japan if I can at all help it as they are $2650 NZ.

4) Lastly are there any front wheel drive Nissans that run a closer ratio gearbox in them that would fit a G20/P11?

The G20t (t = "touring") sold here in The States came with a VLSD.

See about about coming standard with VLSD. I don't know about other units except that the GTi-R VLSD is also compatible and it has a higher level of lock-up. It is sold here as an upgrade (a relatively expensive upgrade). You may have better access to it that we do. We can get it, but we pay full list price for it through Nissan Motorsports USA (not Nismo).

You can get a Quaife mechanical LSD. It sells for around $1,000 US. If you can source it through the UK, it's actually a little cheaper from there.

I don't know what ratios are in the box you have, but here in The States, the Sentra SE-R has closer ratios.


G20 SE-R
1st 3.063 3.063
2nd 1.826 1.826
3rd 1.207 1.286
4th 0.926 0.975
5th 0.733 0.756
Final 4.058 4.176

This is a direct fit swap. You will have to change the inner CV joint to use the SE-R gearbox.

If you are going to add the VLSD to a non=VLSD gearbox, you must also swap the inner CV joint and the case. The non-VLSD case does not have room to just install the VLSD.

Also, if you want to run the Quaife, you must first install the VLSD. The Quiafe does not replace the VLSD, but it attaches to it. It works greata from all accounts.

If you need any of these parts and cannot source them from New Zealand, I can help you source them from here.
