I've been looking into LSD conversion's of late and spoken to a few members regarding it. I've decided to go with a S15 helical diff. It will bolt into my longnose R200 housing. Only thing that is required is shim's/bushes to swap over the for the longnose crown wheel to bolt onto the S15 diff centre. The longnose crown wheel bolts are 10mm diameter and the short nose are 12mm so the shims will have to go on the shank of the 10mm bolts to make them 12mm. I have heard SW motorsport sell these shim's/bushes but I haven't confirmed this yet its on the to do list hahaha.
Another thing I have been looking into are CV axles. I have some 280zx and S15 half shafts. I will use the S15 half shafts get them shortened and the 6 bolt 280zx flanges adapted at one end which will bolt up to the companion flanges. I bought some 280zx companion flanges that fit onto the stock 1600 axles. Which will make bolting up a breeze. Just need to measure it up once my good rear end is back in.
