I was diggin through the for sale forum and found a new Phantomgrip LSD for $300. Went to the website www.phantomgrip.com to find out more, all i know is that it is an adaptor to mimick the effects of an lsd. Since my car lacks a LSD,this product looks appealing. Any of you have experience with phantomgrip?

 

No experience, but i may have mine in two weeks.
i will let you know

sweet, definitely post the result!

 

I will, I am going to try to get my pops to buy it this week and we will put it on when i am home for spring break, i have told him a thousand times how bad the traction is

I know DrVolkl is selling a brand new one...he just traded in for a 350Z, so I doesn't need it anymore...

 

yep that was probably the post i saw...
our max's could use just a little bit of traction, i don't particularly like having to fight the wheel on those right turns.



what is this the glacier pearl thread?!?! white rules!

for $499 you can buy yourself a nissan oem HLSD unit. Since they have to rip apart your transmission to install the phantom grip anyways, i'm sure labor cost will be about the same

 

I thought the actual stock LSD costed like $1100 ?? Where can you get it for $499??

Personally, I would pay the extra $200 to get the real thing

 

I was just think about the Phantom Grip myself after reading Dr Volkl for sale post. I noticed they have an application for auto trannies as well. I'm in the dark on this and definitely would like to learn more.

 

SR20DEN was the one who figured out that the HSLD unit fits in the non HLSD tranny. And, the HLSD is way better than the phantom grip. And, as of a week or so ago, according to daveB, there was only one in the entire country!

 

That's only for the 6 speed though, right? Us auto guys don't have any other option right now, at least for the 02-03's

 

yes 6spds... sorry. check with phantom grip, are the 95-03 autos the same?

 

only one eh? would the lsd be warrantied if nissan performed the installation?

 

Good luck finding a dealer to do the installation. Just about every one I've talked to thinks it's an electronic computer-controlled thingamajiggy.

 

service jargon for "pshhyea right we're gonna install that thingamabopper"

 

95-01 autos are the same. 02-04 have 5-speed automatics.

 

I pretty sure that the 04+ 6th Gens started the 5 spd auto...

 

So where can I buy a Stock HLSD for $499? A nissan dealership??

Thanks

 

Im assuming the parts dept will order one for you... this would be a good time to use those dealership flyer coupons in the mail. ie. No tax tuesday or 20% off parts.

 

I'm actually not selling it anymore...I returned it to NOPI in exchange for a full UR pulley set for the new Z.

Having held the product in my hand, I can tell you that it'll probably work ok...might not be the best for corners, but straight line performance should be improved. The guys at Phantom seem pretty happy with their product, sounds like good support.

However, you'll have to drop your tranny...the actual install of the part only takes like 10mins...but getting everything apart and back together is tough I guess. I didn't have LSD and I was desperate for something, I think this was a pretty good way to do it....obviously the best thing would be to buy a replacement from nissan

 

I bought my 02 max used so I haven't received any of those coupons yet. There has to be nissan discount websites around.
