Where have you seen just the diff for sale? (I have a E153 already, just open diff) The LSD diff only I've seen for sale were even more moon beams! (new)
Axle stubs is a whole nother drama! I think I can use the passenger side stub. But not the drivers as it's way too long. But I'll figure that out later.....
Used aftermarket LSDs don't seem to pop up for sale, even in Japan. Mostly new or a TRD in an E153 as a package. If you are going to the effort of wanting an LSD for this setup you don't really want to get the OEM unit. Once it gets hot it stops working, that's even if it even did anything when the gearbox is cold. It uses the gearbox oil as the viscous fluid, it's not a sealed unit like proper viscous LSDs. Better off getting a proper LSD and doing it right the first time. That way you can use the non-LSD axles and the blue speedo ring gear off the open diff and it will just work.

Yeah what Michael said. The OEM LSD is junk anyway. You are better off getting a TRD, CUSCO or KAAZ or even a Quaife ATB Helical. They do act different to the plate diffs, cost a bit more but never wear out or clunk.
Sounds good (depending on cost) Where do I look? I see some after market LSD's still use the non-LSD axles as well? This would be ideal for me as my axles are already hybrids to fit the E153 to AW11! Any idea what LSD's those are??
Costs are usually $1100ish to $1300 plus install and other parts that need replaced if required.
Yahoo Japan has new but I'm sure places like Moonlight Racing, 41.co.nz, maybe trademe or other importers can get these for you. Or buy online.
TRD, only used but can still buy wear parts. Clutch type with 1, 1.5 and 2 way configurations.
CUSCO Type RS or MZ. Clutch type with 1, 1.5 and 2 way configurations.
KAAZ. Clutch type with 1.5 configuration.
Quaife. Helical sort of like the AE111 LSD. They work really well unless you lift a wheel. Then they act like an open diff. The way around this is to learn to tap the brake during a wheel lift event and it will lock the diff and work again.
1.5 way Best for the road and even track use. 2 way is too aggressive and will force the car to oversteer under deceleration. 1 way is good but only works under acceleration.
