Default silvia / 200sx diff in s2000?

hi guys i was wondering if it was possible to put the 200sx/silvia vicious LSD on my AP1?

The reason why im interested in this as the silvia/200sx diffs are much stronger then our torsen ones and should mine ever go (touchwood hopefully not) then i would change the diff completely.

The vicious diffs are cheap and plentiful as well so thats a plus.

has anyone ever heard of anybody installing on on a S?

I think it's around a $4000 conversion from memory.

200sx/silvia vicious LSD are much stronger then our torsen ones
Just a small point but the weakness is not in the centre. Very few torsen unit have failed and those that have are usually the result of bits of metal in the oil.

The problem with our diff is the casing flexing and the ring and pinion angle changing resulting in damaged ring and pinion.

A nissan diff conversion is nice but for NA I wouldn't bother unless you blow your diff.

Propeller shaft, diff mounts, axles, CV joints, custom abs ring and wheels hub.
You may also need a yellow/modifry box to adjust the speedo depending on the diff ratio.

www.tunedautomotive.com.au did a nissan diff conversion for fireball. Contact both of them if you like further details.
