Question Mechanical LSD

I'll ask the question but i know the answer will be no not without major modification and hassel which is something I don't want as I'm looking for a easy job. The question is I can get my hands on a mechanical LSD from a S13 (Nissan option apparently), would this fit a S12 if I used the driveshafts and hubs? If so would it be a easy swap?

The S13 R200 LSD for OPEN DIFF will go into the S12 R200 open diff.

Don't need to change anything. Remove the diff, take it apart, put the new LSD in, and put it back together and your'e good to go.

Note, this is for the R200 Diff...

edit: wait, did you mean the aftermarket Nismo or kaaz 1.5 way Clutch LSD, or the factory option VLSD? The VLSD will work, but you need to frankenstien together a combination of S13 and S12 shafts.

IMO, not worth it, rather just go for the aftermarket clutch type. its a better lsd and less work.

It's a mechanical one with a cooler for the oil mounted on it not seen it personaly as it's in a breakers yard and the car is under another so I'm only going on what I've been told. Apparently it was a rare option as not many people took it.

This is excatly what I know it's on a pre-facelift S13 that use to be the guy who owns the breakers car, I originaly thought it was a vlsd but he's told me it's a mechanical lsd that was a Nissan option on the S13 and I have no reason to doubt him as it's his car.
What I was thinking of doing was putting the diff, driveshafts and hubs staight onto my S12 if these would fit as in from wheel to wheel and the diff bolting on.
So what do people think?
