I went to Japan for a few days...and while going thru some of the used car part places...I stumbled on a diff in a box...

the tag said that it was a nismo 2 way LSD, for an R180....and my heart stopped beating...

Then I looked around for the pricetag..and found it...Only 18900 yen...about 190 US$...so I ran out of breath when I took it to the counter...still waiting for my heart to start beating again...

I just got back to the states yesterday...and this morning...I'm looking at it, its super clean and the ring gear looks almost brand new...so I was looking at some of the numbers on it....

And it a 4.11 ring gear :eek:

I can't wait to install it!!!!

This years drifting and autocross is going to be fun.... :P

I'll bet your excited! For sure it won't make your Z auto-rotate, but it will surely improve the whole experience of driving it. When I went from a 3.90 open diff to a 4.11 LSD, I was really surprised at the quicker accelleration and improved corner exit speed. I think your goin to like it!!! Congats on the find.

Next time bring the wheels back on the plane...

I brought back a set of Regamaster EVO 15" once (granted they're superlight at 8lbs each) as carry-on! The stewardesses didn't flinch... And think of it this way even if you do get charged an excess luggage fee you're getting your parts OVERNIGHT (they are on the plane with you) and that's still cheaper than mailing anything from Japan.

Invest in a large hard suitcase for next time... :)

Craziest trip saw me return with 110lbs of car parts alone and again no one protested (except for my back maybe)... What a great place Japan is...

A friend beat me though when in one trip he brough back bumpers, a roll cage, a set of wheels... hahahaha
