> [@Cavi Mike](#): > > FYI, 240’s and 300Z’s have independant rear suspension. Putting a live axle in requires a lot of fab work. im trying to do some research on these different senarios in order to not get myself into a problem i nor someone else wants to handle. can i have the link to hotrodkid’s page please ---

im putting the 8.8 in teh car because the stock rear suspension is battered the stock suspension is rusted to shit the stock k member is posibly bent the brakes are toast theres a toasted wheel brearing rear struts are insanely priced because of all the 240 humpers that want to go drift so theres a shit suspension in the driveway, and a perfect one in the garage (which has less then like 200 miles on a full rebuild, including all the brakes i think i have the fab work pretty well covered, considering i work for a heavy steel fab shop in the area … press brakes, iron worker, drill presses, hole wizards, all sorts of great stuff at my disposal hell, right now im drawing up some stuff in CAD which i need for 240 project, so i can tack it onto an order for my side biz … hell, ive even got a set of pinch weld clamp jack stands so i can set the car up in the driveway perfectly level while i gut out all the old frame and suspension and start from scratch … and someplace around here ive got a basic 10 point cage layed out in cad … ---

so basically if everything is good and im comfortable with the car, (i plan on putting xxxx into suspension upgrades) i should just install a limited-slip and call it a day? ---

aftermarket diffs will be $700+… then you have to get a competent guy to put it in… VLSD will hold 400hp + without issue… and it’s a direct bolt in… takes an hour maybe and the only reason it takes that long is because of where it is. if you have a lift you can drop and pop in 45 minutes. ---

well i looked up on a lot of fourms and basically everyone said Clutch\>HLSD\>VLSF\>Welded… i think i might look into spending the extra money… and i do have access to a mechanic who can do it and a lift ---

> [@Adictd2b00st](#): > > i still don’t see why your going that route for what your gonna use the car for… so you just suggest getting the vlsd? i just heard the clutch would hold up better and was all around better for autox/drag/drift(not proffesionally)/street ---

ok seriusly vlsd is a limited slip but a slow reacting one, where as if u were to get a clutch type its going to lock alot quicker than the vlsd. and i wouldnt ever put a solid axle in A 240 unless u were plaing on doing strictly drags and were puttin over like 1000 wheels horse power, because i know for a fact there are at least to companys that offer 1000hp axle kits. try the drive shaft shop and rbperformance i think are the 2 companys. and is far as ur 1 way and 2 way limited slip i could explain but i dont feel like it and kaaz can do it much better so here is a link [http://www.kaazusa.com/introductionToLSD/introduction\_To\_LSD.htm](http://www.kaazusa.com/introductionToLSD/introduction_To_LSD.htm) ---

> [@bing](#): > > 'Posi" is an American Manufacturers branding term, like Hemi… it doesnt mean anything. The term used by non-americans is limited slip differential… gawd, i hate it when guys convert over to jap scrap and talk about posi trac…lol… False, it means plenty. So does Hemi? I hate it when non-americans that own jap scrap talk about Positraction…lol… > [@MaximaSE98](#): > > isnt POSI a GM brand and ford uses a detriot locker…i dunno i am prolly wrong Positraction is a GM trademark. It was so popular it basically became the “Kleenex” of limited slips. Mopar units were Sure-Grips, and Ford had the Traction Lok (in conjunction with the 9" rear end, probably the best factory solid rear out there).
