Hey guyz,
http://home.iprimus.com.au/jverban/
has a S15 Diff Centre LSD! :) for sale. $300!
Will this fit straight into the S12 Diff?? Now im pretty sure i have a R200 but if i had a R180 it wouldnt fit would it?
If i have the R200 will it go in???????
THANKING U!>
If its a Torsen unit, you need the half shafts to go with it. The torsen halfshafts are 30 spline as opposed to the 29 of the standard R200.
Torsen unit? Since when did Torsen start making LSD's for the R200 again? They did many many years ago, but you can't find them anymore. It's not listed on their website either. Do you have info that I don't, because if Torsen is making LSD's for the R200, I know quite a few people who would be interested.
You have an r180 so no it wont fit :-(

The manual S15s came with a helical R200 LSD. This company Torsen makes helical differentials. This is why they are typically called Torsen units. It's like calling a clutch based differential a Kaaz differential, since they typically only make clutch type LSDs.
I've got one of these S15 differentials, but haven't had a chance to put it in. The biggest issue is the half shafts, as Mr Bob stated. Courtesy Nissan said they could not get the half shafts from Japan because Nissan does not make them anymore and do not have any left in stock. RX-7 Turbo II axles have the same number of splines and the proper diameter though, but I don't know if the length is correct.
Ah, I see. Like how most people say they have NOS when they mean they have nitrous. Thanks for clearing that up. I hope you can find halfshafts that match. Helical LSD's are awesome!
Nissanman as salps12 said Australian delivered IRS s12's only came with an R180 (180mm) not the R200 (200mm) as in some cars in the US and other markets.
Also for folks who have the r200:
Isn't an s15 R200 a short nose diff like the s13 and s14 diffs?? (as opposed to a long nose diff as found in an S12) which means it doesn't fit on the mounts on an s12 rear crossmember??
You can swap just the differental, not the whole case.
ok so the short nose diff won't fit at all ???? or as anyone tryed it
Well seeing as we have the long nose and the long nose is usually longer then no it wont ift :D
