limited slip diff ??????????????????

hey i was just wondering if there is any after market kits or conversions you could do to make the rear differential in a 2nd gen surf a limited slip one as one would be useful on wet slippy pull aways from traffic lights and slippery corners cheers chris.

Or a Factory LSD for anoother Surf.

there are others if you hunt around, but remember a tight LSD is not really helpfull if pulling out of junctions with to much welly, if both rear wheels are spinning, you'll just do a doughnut.

Sticker on the Diff of my 2nd gen say's something like "use oil suitable for LSD". This suggests that a LSD is already fitted. Maybe..............

Have you any ideas where i could get a LSD second hand for a 2.4 2nd gen?

The post above you!

You'll need a scr@pper that has a slipper in it, look for a 5 on the end of the axle code on the bulkhead. If its not got the same gearing as your truck you'll need to get the diff set up professionally when swapping your gears in.

Check your axle code as mentioned above if your not sure.
