Yea man, just picked up a Vitek LSD off ebay for 300 buckeroooooos doubt I want to attempt this one on my own but for 300 bucks it wont hurt paying someone else to do it. I just ran across it and it was too good a deal to pass up so I snagged it. Im hoping it will be around 200 to install it, but who knows. 1 stock differential for sale very soon!

dude could you post the item listing....i wanna take a look at that Vitek differential

I didnt know Vitek made a diff for us

A link would be nice

Stillen sells the vitek diff. might have some info on their website

ohhhhhhhh gotcha, my buddy has that one... I didnt know it was one and the same

how would this be installed? also, would it even be possible/worth it for an auto, sorry, i know jack spit about LSD's

I dont know how it would be installed but I do know that it will benifit an auto. I want to get one myself for the drastic increace in handling

then again, i guess my dads 6th gen has one. looks like im gonna have to go hunting then...

man i want a lsd so bad, good find

yea, i'd probably never have gotten one unless I came across this. Def a lucky find.

wow great deal, if you send your old one in, you get 150 back.. you only pay 150 for it.. freaking sweet

yea the guy would probably send my diff back to stillen to get his core charge back! ROFL

hey, so why is it only for the 97-99?

congrats!

It's not. The transmissions are the same for all 4th Gens.

once you install it let us know how good it works

If you zoom that picture of the box it says for 95 and later models, guy just listed it wrong

it came in the mail yesterday, thing is beefy...def the one from stillen being that it came with 8,000 stillen stickers, time to call some shops for some quotes, actually should call my guy first see if he can do it

DAYYYYYUMMMMMMM.....

i'm looking at a grand easy to have this thing put in by a transmission shop....
They have to pull the whole tranny and split it apart to get at it, thats 8 hours labor, plus gaskets, plus oil, plus filter(might as well while its apart) plus 2 more hours labor to put it in. No wonder this guy sold it.

Yes sir, if you think about it, its almost as much work than rebuilding a transmission. If you have the mechanical knowledge and can deal with the downtime, do it yourself. If not, do what you gotta do.

You should be able to do it yourself.

look at the bottom.

I am interested in knowing how good these things are. My friend bought a maxima with one already installed and it doesn't do anything. He has no more traction at all and he can still spin one tire over another. I am going to have to check it with it off the ground to see if it is working at all. It may just be worn out or the break in may not have been performed correctly. Make sure you break it in. I think you are supposed to go in a figure eight for like 1/2 an hour or something.

I don't know a lot about viteks or how good they are on other maximas or other cars but LSDs cost lots of money. Anything that can go for $300 is not going to be a worthwhile LSD. A good one cost at least $1000. Quaifes now cost almost $1500 to $2000 since they are no longer being imported. I wish they would get a Kaaz or start to get quaifes again. Right now new we can only get Vitek, phantom grip, and OEM (I30, canada, and AE). Out of the three I actually trust OEM much more than any of those. Stay away from phantom grip.

I can't say mine does much for handling, but I'm beginning to believe it might be the tires now. I took my cv shafts of yesterday to change them and was stunned to find out I had LSD.

How so? Are you sure you have LSD? Checked the plate on the firewall?

Canada?..........

I want it for the burnouts My Mustang spoiled me.

I want to wear my Maxima's tires evenly

I guess I should've looked where he was from. Damn you Jeff.

Yep, the trans code has a "V" in it. Would have been good if I'd checked that before ordering my axles I'm not sure why many models in Canada get the LSD and USA doesn't.

all Canadian SE model cars have the LSD tranny. I know especially since my car has the LSD tranny.

that's what I thought.

It is listed on the stillen site as suggested price $1100, their price $895. I got it off ebay new in box it was never even opened, so it is acutally an $1100 item.

that was the auction i was hoping to win; never did get around to bid tho.
i tried a gd with cattman a lil while back on either quaife/kaaz, and very few interested on spending lawyer fees on a 'worthless mod'. oh well.
