Something he did not mention and after talking to Loren if you get that you need to plan on this. The only way to add that in your transmission is it requires a Transmission rebuild and that costs another 1500~ bucks to get done. So don't expect oh 1500 for the part and it bolts on, hehe nope, u have to remove the gears, etc to install this unit. So I was planning on doing this and just getting a loaded SE now it looks more like a AE is better since I do plan on getting a SC and need ttraction!!

Would it be worth the extra $1500 and NOT have LSD stock or the other way around?
Is the Quaife superior in the first place?

Say again? I agree w/ you 100% that the transmission must be taken apart to install the LSD. I think most people know this. But how does that entail a rebuild? If you tranny is in good condition, why would it need replacement parts? Are they that cheap once the tranny is apart??
I have read an article in SCC where they installed a Quaife or similar LSD in an Integra 5-sp. They took the tranny apart, installed the lsd and assemblied the tranny back together. I hardly would call that a rebuild.
Now labor to do the swap will cost some money for sure. Unless you have grippa DIY skills!

Well if you think about the difference between buying a used one and a new one, its not worth the extra money at all. LSD will do as good as QLSD in most conditions.

Well you have to disassemble the gears, etc to install the new parts, and basically that is just like a rebuild.

No basicly it's not. Dissassembling and re-installing is just that. Rebuilding is taking the extra step to replace all the parts that are worn out. ie... I have taken my engine apart and re-assembled it but I did not REBUILD it. See the difference?
Now if someone actually knows if the parts for the tranny REBUILD are expensive or not, we could actually get something out of this thread.

Thats like saying you took out your battery to install your CAI, but you put it back. Then calling that a new battery. You're just taking it apart, sticking the LSD in, then putting the stock parts back in. Not a rebuild in any way.

and the install will be as simple as changing a clutch...
no need to open the tranny.

No you don't. The differential resides in a different part of the tranny case. You'll have to crack the case open in two, but the main bulk of shafts/gears reside in the other portion of the case. I'm not saying this is at all a simple operation, but it certainly doesn't entail a REBUILD.
Talkin out of your *** again, Russ. Tsk tsk tsk.
Although I see your point of the price not being worth it to many people, yourself included (and me), there are many guys with baaaad a'' Maximas that may feel it's worth it to them. Why do you feel it necessary to bring this up as a separate topic. Why should you even care? Since when have you been all that concerned with not wasting money?
