Oh by the way .......... I still have the J30 diff for only $ 100 !!!
I have a 180sx Vlsd w/ the 4.3 Gearing and I swapped it out for a welded to play around in. So dont say that its because people cant afford it a vlsd; its just more fun and predictable for drifting..although I will say it sucks for daily driving. (but reply to the person trying to buy a welded diff: make sure the welder is good, bad welds crack and can make for a bad situation).. *I rep Ranlet for the best welded diff Ive ever driven.
Shops that can weld a diff:
Central automotive - Sean, Josh or someone else
XAT - Chris or Martin
SNR performance -Mike Ranlet
Kyle- Diff swaps are easy for people who ARENT lazy. lol
