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.

i think all facelift europe s13's had diff oil coolers, and the only standard lsd was the viscous lsd as far as im aware?

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?

not sure about it the viscous/mechanical bit, but i think you'll still have to make franken-shafts seeing as its coming from an s13

He says it a mechanial and aparently someone from the SXOC (don't know who though) has said it is to him, he says it the same as a Subaru one.
I suposse the only way would be to try and fit it but it seems like a lot of work if it don't fit. It a width question really I supose as I'm thinking of using the S13 hubs. Trouble is not have many pennies at the moment I don't want to spend money on a part that won't fit.

this is a little odd really as i would consider all diffs to be mechanical, the only other option being electronically controlled

maybe wise to ask him if it is a clutch type or automatic torque biasing type like the quaife, if he doesnt know, i'd want to open it up before i parted with any cash
