  • What can I do for a 180

    I'm saving up right now to get an s13 or a 180... but that's not my question... The 180 I have in my sights doesn't have an LSD. What can I do?

    Someone told me to take an arc welder to the spider gears, but is that something else I can do?

        your terminology is confusing


        S13 can refer to Silvias, 180sx, 240sx coupe, 240sx hatchback

        180 refers to the ca18de/t and sr20de/t powered S13 hatchback with popup headlights.


        Most American S13s came with open differentials. a used VLSD from a 300zx or several other infinitys can be installed, or an aftermarket LSD can be installed in its place.

          ooo ok... forgive me for confusing you... I have only recently got into the drifting scene. I have been into doing the straight 1/4 mile and all, but it is starting to get really boring.

          *scratches head* I got alot of learning to do. Well thank you for the information.

            s13=silvia ca18
            ps13=silvia sr20
            rps13=180 sr20
            rs13=180 ca18

              Correct.


              but S13 is used as a general terminology for all of the S13 series. And hell he wasnt even referring to the 's13' but rather the hs13 and ms13

                  ok, the arc welder to the spider gears is good for drag racing, not so much for drifting. a vlsd from another 240, 300zx, or infinity j30 will fit, but if you want to get into drifting seriously, these may not be a good choice. The vlsd fluid will break down eventually and leave you with essetially an open diff. buying an aftermarket lsd from kaaz, cusco, nismo or someone else will be your best bet. It is costly, upwards of 800 dollars, but worth it in the end if you continue drifting. My opinion is that the LSD and a racing seat should be your first modifications, believe me on the racing seat, it made the most difference out of anything i did to my S13. I never got a chance to put an LSD on, but I drove a corolla w/ LSD, it makes it easier to hold and control a drift.
