Putting in a LSD

Can this Viscous LSD be swapped right in place of my Open Differential. My car is an 89 240sx. V-LSD

Never buy an "LSD" off of ebay like that. Many a people have been fooled.That axle bolt pattern is wrong for one. I would only suggest buying an LSD from a reputable company w/ a garuntee. But yes, 300zx n/a, J30, 180sx, R33 GTST skyline, etc... will all work. The most work you need to do to it besides give it a good servicing before you put it in is to replace the backing plate on it depending on the vlsd that you get. You replace it with your stock KA backing plate and a new gasket. Direct bolt in after that.

Make sure you have the R200 housing and not the R180 housing

opium , you forgot to mention some things...

Vlsd from 240sx se w/super hicas is direct bolt in.

300zx n/a is not. the axle shafts have to be changed out.
this is because the 240sx bolt pattern is 3-2 bolt sets, as where the 300zx is a 5-bolt pattern.
the shafts go for about $150 ea., from the dealer.

the Infinity j30 95+ is direct bolt up. it has the 3 sets of 2 bolt flanges.
earlier i believe needs modifications..
92-94 had diff bolt patterns.

vlsd from jdm 180sx is direct bolt in.
