racer i forgot about that detail with the quaife to be honest, good point though yea so it looks like if it will work ill go with the carbonetics clutch style, becuase of its durability.

where to get a lsd or locker??

240sx,
Yes please let us know what you decide. I am more of an off-roader, so the ARB locker is more for me, but if the Carbonetics offers a durable LSD that can work well on road as well as off, with no user input, then I may just do that instead. My ideal setup would be a true locker at the rear and and LSD up front. I know the front is an R180 29 spline.
Racer, can an LSD like the Carbonetics completely lock-up when a wheel is off the ground, and how long does a clutch system to kick in. I'm sure it's faster than the 4-6 sec ABLS. Nissan really needs to do a TSB on that one and re-program or ECU to be a bit 'smarter'.
Thanks.

hey guys after hunting up and down i have discovered that the 350z shares the 31 spline 32mm diameter lsd pack and it also shares the same carrier bearings, so this means that unfortuantely the only options we have right now are the quaife and the arb, but im on the hunt to see how to make the carbonetics work.

well rag....you would think so .....but the flanges on the stubshafts are different, and when you install the carbonetics lsd (or the kaaz or the Cusco) you need the lsd shafts which are different in length (one longer than the other), but ours are the same length because its an open diff. but the quaife is a direct drop in with the same length stubs, so i now am looking into doing a conversion of flanges i know that they have the same pilot ring which is the most important part of the flange because it centers the stub shafts with the axle shafts....AAAHHHHH why couldnt they just have made it an option to come with frickin lsd.
i think i just found a possible solution...cusco says that they have either a 1.5 way lsd and a 2 way lsd for non lsd equipped factory 350z's and g35's heres the link

im going to contact the distributor and find out if this is tru. this just put a smile on my face

this post is really interesting, any news?
I just confirmed from ARB USA that they are indeed testing the locker right now. Don't knwo yet the release date. The R200 that we have is different than the C200 (they say the R200 is a little beefier). Good, I was about to order the C200 version, which had the correct spline count and everything. The newer locker they are working on will be a bit stronger than the C200 version. I'll let everyone know once it's released.
On another note, anyone out there confirm if any of the LSD lockers (clutch type) will work?

if i understand...with the ABLS thingy...when i floor the pedal for 6-8sec it will lock the spinning wheel and send power to the none spinning wheel??....got interested with this LSD subject cause the other day was pulling a tow truck that got stuck in the sand (stupid idiot trying to take shortcut through to the main road) and put it on 4HI and rear left wheel dug itself in...put 4LO...and it just kept spinning...one guy passed and asked if i locked the diffs and yes i was pretty sure at 4LO axles are locked...now locked diffs...mmm...was right to think that my '08 pathy doesnt have lockable diffs but LSD...i was sure...but not after this incident...oh yes was able to pull the guy out eventually but was really interested to know what i had under the car...i would have thought LSD should be standard in all 4X4s with offroad driving considered in the design...so does the X come with proper LSD or that ABLS thingy?
