You're best to get an LSD for an open S13 diff

Yeah but I think the S14a has a thicker shaft (the splined part that goes in the diff unit)

Yeah I would. At the end of the day if you buy a diff that is designed to be installed in an S13 case that uses the S13 open type shafts you are likely to be fine

No you need an old S12 diff. It's the S13 internals that you put in the S12 case

No,you need to get an lsd for an open diff s13.One thats designed to fit an s13 with vlsd will not fit .
