R200 Z31 diff with LSD...
Im ordering the inlinePro rear diff kit this week and am wondering which LSD i should run, I am getting the r200 Z31 non turbo open diff for free from a friend so I would like to use that if I can.
Ive been told to go with the kaaz 1.5 way but ive also heard that a stock viscous could be just as good.
Ive worked with clutch type lsd's on fwd and dont like them compared to the quiffe's but im hearing that clutch type is the way to go on rwd and that the quiffe is insanely expensive.
If you anybody could point me in the right direction that has gone through this already let me know
Power range is ~650hp

I know for a fact that with the Quaiffe LSD, you have to modify the shafts to get it to fit and it's a PITA. I was going to get it but decided to just keep the stock viscous and it works great. But of course my diff only has 23,000 miles on it and have heard that the viscous LSD is good for about 60-70,000.

You should replace the lsd if you have a chance to esp with that much power. These diffs have been around for a long time and most viscous lsd breaks down over time. Having said that some are still fairly good. If you like to take a short cut just make sure you test the lsd before installation.
Nissan has many different difff output flanges, so ordering a correct LSD is important. I think the aftermarket LSDs are all the same. FTW I have a Kazz and it's good for what it meant to do.

Good question. Although personally I'm not going to run the diff conversion for another few years, I'm still interested to see what LSDs those that have done the conversion have gone to.
