Hi I am trying to put a lsd into my s12
ive got a s13 lsd diff and the n/s shalfs I was just seeing if anyone here know of a different way to do it or any other options thanks

What LSD is it?
A viscous LSD?

Never done it myself, so I'm not sure if you can just swap the crown wheel and pinion over to the S12 ones and re assembly in the S12 case.

They are both R200's but the S13 is a short nose and the S12 a long nose.

There might be a chance of fabricated the short nose onto the S12 subframe, but then you'd need a longer prop shaft. You might get lucky and find a S13/S14 one will fit or cobble a S12 front section with and S14 rear (I know the S12 front section is longer)

You might be in the best position to see how it mounts as you have the bits, if you need a spare S12 diff I have a couple kicking around, and open 3.9 and a welded 3.7

You can buy a Kaaz 2 way off the shelf, mine cost me more than I paid for the car, but it does feel nice

It does come with bearings and oil and is any easy swap.

Please enlighten us to which KAAZ number this is then please!

I'd guess a SAN2655 for a swap into S13 open diff - dam the Kaaz websites are just a tad better nowadays!
As it was always the drive shafts being the problem getting a S13 vLSD in and S12.

SAN2655 Super Q Kaaz 2way LSD

Yup, no need to swap shafts or anything just goes straight in stock UK S12 diff housing.

The super Q is the quieter and less annoying one

And Kaaz have a sale on but watch out for tax, vat, duty, you might be better off just buying in the UK so you know the actual cost.

Just looked on DW, the price has gone down, but the non-super Q varient is still ?654.

Super Q is ?734 and I think it's worth the extra ?80.

Good to know it fits, rather than educated guess work. Top job

First time in a while I've thought out digging the S12 out and getting it back up and running!
