Anyone here running one? I don't know which of their LSD's is applicable to my '72 510... soon to be running an S13 SR20DET Red Top... any help would be appreciated.

Kaaz LSD?
Re: Kaaz LSD?
I don't see a 510, or anything easily compatible.

Re: Kaaz LSD?
Those are all short nose diffs. The 510 will need a long nose version of the R180 or R200 and then you should be able to source an LSD spool to replace the open spool. Probably easiest would be a clutch pack type LSD from either Nissan or the OEM that made them for Nissan - Precision Gear and the Power Brute version.

Part# LOM55E or L, LOM59-12 depending on which diff you use.
If you really want a helical (Kaaz, Torsen, etc.) you might have to see if you can source just the spool and see if it will fit in either the long nose R180 or R200 - should work but I don't know of anyone who has done it. Another option, you might try finding a spool from a JDM S15 - Nissan put a helical in those cars. We just put one in my son's 240SX (short nose R200) and it works fine. Looks like it might also bolt into a long nose R200 (12mm. ring bolt version) but I haven't tried it.

Re: Kaaz LSD?
Or there's the Subaru options. Again, if you want a helical, the later STi has one. I am using one from a 2007 STi. Since it's still in a R180 case it's a direct bolt-in, you'll just need a custom axle solution.

If you are using a long nose R200 as a base (say late model Z31 300zx for example), you can put an S15 centre in using the original long nose crown and pinion (assuming 12mm crown wheel from the long nose), custom shafts and you are set.
OR
The other option is, purchase a Kaaz LSD replacement for one of those R200 short nose OPEN diff's. That way they don't use the Viscous output shafts that have the different spline length as pictured below (z31 shafts and S13 viscous shafts, see how one side is longer to engage the viscous lsd);
You used to be able to order a LSD kaaz centre for a Z31 which would remove any doubt also.
Either way I'd be making enquires first or just get a precision, they look decent.
