the phantom grip kit is crap. save your money.

 

i agree 100%
get kaaz cusco nismo ats or others...
but the phantom grip isnt using clutch or gears
from what i recall..
they are just 2 blocks that u shove in ur diff

 

The only thing with the Kaaz is that you have to tear up your existing differential, which sucks. might as well try to find a r200 diff and bolt on that bad boy.

 

ok...do you have a kaaz lsd?
if so i will take it into warning..
if not or never did..
please shutup and stop talking out ur ***

 

I have read many posts that agree with this. You have to redo the output shafts. You have to open your pumkin and install the KAAZ unit.

The VLSD is more of a bolt on do-it yourself deal. Take a look here at the install. And guess what it is another HONDA owner doing things the right way. I give Al major props!

Check it out

 

i was gonna get the normal stock VLSD but i decided not to because it is weak and does not do the job well. my kaaz 2way lsd always stay locked at all times. thats the way i like it. and its very stong. its ture that you do have to open your diff. case but on all aftermarket lsd you will have to do that.

Stock lsd weak? Are you kidding me? That thing can take way more power than what I bet you're pumping out.

 

the only thing you have to do with the kaaz differently is take the ring gear off of your stock open differential and replace the flange axles. which is what you would have to do with a vlsd anyway unless you bought the entire pumpkin. either way switching the rear ends isn't like changing your oil and will take like 10 minutes. if you guys who are talking out of your asses would research it some then you'd know.

as far as the stock lsd being weak, yes..it is. will i have enough power to break one anytime soon? prolly not. but if i do i would have rather spent a few bills more on a real lsd that has more locking power.

all you guys looking at honda lsd swaps are clueless. a fwd lsd is not even in comparison to how a rwd lsd would be installed. for one thing, ona fwd car, the diff is inside the transmission.

 

My post was to ImportNut's site. Yes he is a honda owner. But he also owns a s14. He has done the vlsd swap and has posted a very nice writeup on the swap. He also took snapshots that would help most who don't even know what this VLSD thing they are talking about looks like.

I hope you guys checked it out.

 

that link was very informative..
but geez..
too much work for a lazy guy like me..
but alas..
what lsd to choose..
i also forgot but a certain type of lsd
if u lift one tire off the ground then something bad happens...
dunno if its true..
or what but i heard it a while back..

 

So if I were to order a LSD from Nismo, either the Cusco or Nismo, do I just drop out the old, and bolt up the new?

 

it's not as easy as you'd think. but with proper research and room to work it'll go smooth.
i'm waitin for mine. although i'm not using an aftermarket unit the factory one is a skyline unit which has more locking strength then the stock s13 unit .
chek the links. along with Stanbo's link i found this very informative

I have a 95 s14, is it still the same as the s13, do I need to swap the driveshafts?

 

what are you using as a diff
