Make sure the bolts on the output shafts match. Your output shafts now connect to a 6 bolt differential. (3x2 bolts) When you get the VLSD if it a 5 bolt pattern on the output shafts, then you need to have the output shafts that match. simple. GL. ---

you can go VLSD as was previously stated, or if you want an actual clutch type there are a couple manufactures that make them for our cars such as Kaaz, Nismo, and Tomei in 1.5 or 2 way. Expect to pay $1000+ for one of those. ---

just tac weld the 4 spider then flip them over and tac the over side put them back in the rear end and make sure they still fit tac them while there in the rear and and you will have no problems with them fitting then complete the welds on both side this should be storng enough to run a sr20det let along a ka24 ---

Just curious, I have an open diff aswell on my 89’… so another option other than getting a VLSD would be to weld my open diff? if this is possible, will it allow me to spin both wheels like the vsld? ---

More or less, yes, you can do burnouts with a welded diff. ---
