AliveBoy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm swapping my uk LSD out for a jdm diff which has been welded up for drifting. I've heard that I might need a replacement driveshaft for it all to swap out ok. Does anyone know if this is correct, and if so, which one I'd need? Apparently it's the longer one? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Have you tried asking Alex to see if he knows? Zman that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have sold a JDM diff (brand new) before to a guy with a UK zed and he seemed to have no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippychip123 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have read on here some where (think it was Anders with the twin turbo) that when he fitted an LSD to his import the end caps, or what ever their technical name is, are different! These are the bits attached to the diff that bolt to the shafts, so the shafts should be the same? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've never heard this. Who is your source? Keyser said to make sure, he wasn't sure himself he just knew that he'd been asked about it before but couldn't remember the answer. Have you tried asking Alex to see if he knows? Zman that is. I did try last night, I know he's pretty busy currently so didn't want to chase him, but I need to know to get extra shafts in time for the weekend if they are needed I have sold a JDM diff (brand new) before to a guy with a UK zed and he seemed to have no issues Awesome, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The JDM stubby side shafts are different from the UK VLSD. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 The JDM stubby side shafts are different from the UK VLSD. Alex. so swapping the entire diff pumpkin (as they call it in the states) should be a straight swap? Thanks Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 If the pumpkin is complete and has the correct stubby shafts fitted then all should be good. Alex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
