check out the z1motorsports site they have it you need the qd11f for a 6speed, if you have a base you won't need any extra axles. you may wan't to get new bearings, seals, a shimpack and cross your fingers that you don't have to adjust the pinion height. have a good rear-end shop install it.

Bumping an old thread....

Can anyone who has installed or had a Quaife LSD installed comment on their experience with it?

Did this aforementioned items need to be addressed? i.e. bearings, seals, shimpack, pinion height?

I live in Fairbanks Alaska and will be driving my Z year round

I have a base touring and thinking an LSD might do me some good.

Thanks

Give Forged Pefromance a call on this matter. They've installed many of these along with other LSD. Like my OS Giken for that matter. They can answer about any question about LSD on our cars. Just click the link (pic) in my sig to get where you need to go.

I now know a good bit on what has to be done to install a LSD (well mine anyways) being I had one done but I'd feel alot better if they handled the answers.

I just ordered my Quaife LSD! I have the base model and did not buy anything except the differential unit itself. Ill post more when i get it installed.

Im currently doing some research on clutch/flywheel for my upcoming FI project. Getting the car ready!

Yea let us know how it goes. I know you'll need some seals and bearing. I didn't need seals due to mine only had 1500 miles on the car. Best to replace them being your is a 09. The shop should know this though.

Interesting, wish they offered it as an installation kit with the LSD. Z1 claims no addition parts are required. Im assuming the bearings and seals are standard nissan parts?

Yes they are standered parts. I was told the side bearings are nearly impossible to remove without damage. They didn't replace my seals for they where brand new but you have a 09. Even though you have a different LSD I'm sure all diffs have this same principle.
