I have a clutch limited slip diff with the half shafts. I am negotiating with a guy right now over a car. I may include the diff in the deal but wanted some kind of feedback from you guys on what a fair price for one is right now.

Thanks, C

Halfshafts are $20 each.  What diff housing (R180, R200)?  What CLSD (NIssan, OS Giken, Powerbrute)?  What condition?

Sorry John

I should have been more specific. I have a Nissan R200 CLSD long nose. I don't know the ratio and haven't taken the time to check it yet. Unknown condition. Bought it out of Florida 5-6 years ago from a guy who was parting cars. Turns smoothly but you know that doesn't mean it doesn't whine like a banshee at speed...

 

I was hoping Chuck or Jeff might chime in too, since you guys are probably more familiar with these than some...

Its probably worth $800.  Take the rear cover off and make sure its a CLSD.  You should also be able to see the ratio numbers stamped on the rung gear.

Diesel cranks, Lsds, I'm heading over to Charles place-

I have opened it and verified the LSD. I figured it was just as easy to mark the outputs and input and just turn one until you get a complete revolution and that would be your ratio. I looked on Ebay and there was only one or two in the for sale or sold listings. That one was offered at $1,200. It has the finned aluminum rear cover which I saw on Ebay yesterday for like $350. I was trying to get some feedback on what was a reasonable price. I searched craigslist coast to coast and didn't find one R200 limited slip. I am not sure I want to part with it for $800. I went to Florida 4 or 5 years ago and picked up this CLSD and a VLSD complete with halfshafts. They are getting so rare I am afraid if I get rid of this one I won't come across another for a reasonable price.

 

Steve come on anytime you're ready. Although you might want to wait until it cools off... 

Anyone else want to chime in?

Put it on eBay with a really high reserve.

 

"Worth" discussions always spin off in to philosophy and personal opinion.  And usually end with everybody dissatisfied.

I know I could sell it on Ebay and truly determine what its worth but this is a little different. It may end up being part of a barter deal and I need to know what the value is so I know what I would still owe for the car we are trading for. That's the problem...

Actually, that's not even true.  Depends on time-frame.

 

 

Here's your competition, or what a professional business thinks they're "worth".

True. Having the right timing can change price but I have always sort of worked on the premise "It is worth what someone is willing to pay for it." In this case I can't really do that because I am looking at throwing in a car, a door and a differential and a little cash in trade for a different car. Just want to be sure I set my value right. The link was very informative. Thanks for that.
