Anybody know if this could be possible? I found stuff for a z31 being possible to put into an se but nothing on a z32. My buddy has 2 z32 LSD with 4.10s and if I can put on in I'm gonna.

Is it a vlsd?
Or just a LSD.
If its a LSD then yes you should be able to put it into the SE r200 diff.

The Z31 with Vlsd diff the axles are different.

Here i copy and pasted this info.
should help you figure it out.
CLSD vs VLSD:
clutch uses clutch disks. viscous uses fluid.

clutch is stronger. viscous is smoother.

clutches will wear out over time. viscous fluid can get contaminated.

clutches hold more power.

diff mounts are the same for all Z31 diffs.

you will need SS halfshafts if you use the VLSD. with a CLSD, you can use your current half shafts. there is no fab work involved.

It is possible to pick up CLSDs at junkyard for $75. But you'll have to get there when the car first gets there

Is it a TT Z32? If so, then it won't work... Those are R233's.

A Z32 TT R230 or a NA R200, both vlsd, won't fit into the s12's subframe or diff case, period. Your options for the long noise setup are (most expensive / hard to find first) a long noise VLSD out a '88 Z31 Turbo Super Shiro, long noise CLSD out of a 4/87-89 Z31 turbo, or an aftermarket lsd center unit meant for an open diff 240sx r200 (can be cheapest, easiest option).

I ran a z32 vlsd, but I finally got a clsd. Anything can be done if you want it bad enough and talk to the right people local to ya; machinists and welders.

It can't be done easily. I sectioned the vlsd stub and the stock stub, machined them to fit using an alignment slug, then welded the crap outta them, then pulled the slug out. They were welded about a 2" diameter circle with a 1/2" bead of er70. I think that adds up to about 219911lbs required to break that weld. Yea, my turbo ca20 didn't have a chance in heck of snapping that axle.

Throwing 300lbs of 4075 sand in the trunk and driving in 30+ inches of snow did ruin my diff bearings though.
