I'm pretty sure Maxima's from the factory did not come with LSD. If some of them did how do you tell if it is one (other than doing a burnout)? I assume someone does make a LSD for 5 speed 4th gen. Maxima. Who makes it and where can it be bought? Another question is how hard is it to install, I assume you have to trip the tranny apart to put it in.

 

The 2001 AE has lsd, and the candian i30 does on some models IIRC

 

96+ I30t's had LSD, some canadian 4th gens had LSD, no US 4th gens had them, the 2001 AE has LSD, and the 2002-2003 had a helical lsd option. Quaife also made an LSD for us for a while but they quit making them.

As for your second question yes of course you have to take the transmission apart to install an LSD...

LSD is for cars in Canada. If your car is made in US then it's without limited slip differential. There isnt really a big difference between the 2. I heard you can even mix them. LSD is more expensive though.

 

just jack your car up and spin one of the wheels, if both spin the same direction your a lucky man

 

how much does it cost around to turn your auto in to manual LSD???

 

ya...i tried to start a group deal on some kaaz lsd thru cattman, but didn't have enough men on the squad to deploy action. too bad eh?

 

i have LSD......

 

Spinning the same direction wouldn't be lucky

 

has anyone ever purchased the phatom grip for their maxima

 

I purchased and installed the Phantom Grip LSD about 3 months ago. Prior to doing the install, I had heard about the potential broken spider gears. In an effort to mitigate any damage, I opened my tranny, cryoed all the gears, synchros, shafts, and differential. I also replaced and cryo treated all the new bearings.

Pros: White smoke from both tires

Cons: Ocassionaly (this has happened twice), the LSD turn into a true locker and when making a u-turn, you can hear one of the tires hop/squeel 'a la 4X4 style'

Overall, I am a very happy customer with my LSD.

 

whats the cost on cryoing the parts

 

I paid $285 to have everything cryoed.

 

You can get a lsd system from stillen.

 

I have a phantom grip and have never had any problems.

 

how come......

 

ya its vitek/phantom grip concept

 

i have the stock LSD

 

I have LSD, anybody wanna buy a tab?

 

lol ooops, you see, uhm.. what i meant was,

 

i thinking of buying the phatom grip intead of swap a i30 tranny in the car

 

tranny went out and i found a new LSD tranny for 600 bucks

 

wow thats pretty cheap, where do you get something like that done?

anyone ever cryoed an engine??? for boosting? i would figure this would help

 

Actually, 2 da max is right. If you spin one wheel and the other one spins in the same direction than you have LSD. If the other wheel spins in the opposite direction than you have an open diff.

 

my car came from the factory with a VLSD tranny.
