Nismo has released an LSD we can buy thru our dealerships for the Altima ('93-'01) and we have the same transmissions..

Its specs are: 4-pinion; 30 lb-ft breakaway torque.Checkout the LSD here..

BTW, Dave Burnette sell these!

 

Cool...I wonder if other companies will be coming out with these soon. The reason I say, is because everything Nismo makes is highly overpriced for what it is. I mean, come on, a FSTB for $200+? What in the world?

I hope these will get more and more popular.

 

Well higher priced FSTBs are made of higher grade materials.. IMHO this undercuts the Qualife by a good amount.

 

undercuts the what?

 

Undercut it in price, as in the NISMO version would actually be cheaper. I haven't seen many "cheap", quality LSD's floating around for other cars.

 

900 bucks is cheap that the Qualife isn't it. Can't remember.

 

I definately did not know we had the same 5-speed as the alty...You sure?

Eric the automatic is the same as well. It's kinda lame considering the extra power of the Maxima.

 

thats crazy. kind of makes me jealous that it has the same trans as our car. but i guess it saves nissan money.

 

why pay $900 when Shadow makes them for less then that for our application? He converts your stock Diff into a Locking diff.

 

Hmmmm, you wouldnt happen to know what the actual charge is would you?

 

900 bucks for 30lb ft breakaway?!?! yikes. i think that would BARELY work. cant you get a quaife for like 1200?? thats a MUCH better deal.

 

I am dumb in regards to this breakaway and the LSD. Without flaming, would someone quickly explain what all the breakaway is? I understand what a VLSD does, just not all the jargon that goes on in here. ha ha

 

The way I understand it, it's the amount of torque required to be applied to one wheel to make it spin (make the disks slip) when the other is fixed in place. In other words, the difference in torque between the wheels.

Is this correct?
