correct me if im wrong, but all you'd need is the b16 ring gear to use the b16 lsd. the gsr gear is the same except for the bolt pattern.

at least thats the way i remember seeing it when we had all those trannys apart that one time

jdogg <~~ who still has nightmares about the box of gears and trying to make a tranny that works.

 

I e-mailed the guy on the OBX website. he said the 94-01 gsr wont be release until next month or christmas time.

That kinda sucks, but oh well... At least I know what Im getting for Christmas now... lol

 

same here, cant wait for the release, should go real well with my turbo upgrade *evillaugh*

 

whats going on are these lsd's still taking the beating? Anyone any problems? Hard to install?

 

mines still holding up and working great..dunno..maybe Iam just being a bitch with my car..but I keep breaking axles so maybe Iam not..LOL

 

with your set up your running a stock tranny with the obx lsd ? what kind of axles do you use?do you break axles alot?

 

i have some generic brand i believe carquest? well its not generic, they work well, and ive only split a boot, i havent broken a axle yet, but they are lifetime warrenty under most conditions, but buddy of mine snapped 2 of his and they replaced them no questions asked. im too broke to invest in stage 2,3 3958239583925 axles u kno, so ill stick to the cheapo ones.

 

we need to to get all the H series people together and get obx to make one for us!

 

stock GSR tranny..obx lsd and have broke 2 driver side axles (reman pepboys axles)

 

where did u get the gsr obx lsd from they stopped selling them to my knowledge tom is double checking with them @ sema for a reissue of them

 

i've had an obx lsd in b16 tranny for over three months. best $350 i ever spent on my drivetrain.

I'll need one for my H-Series in the future...but right now I wanna find a good deal on a D-Series one for my turbo project. It sounds like they hold up well to abuse. Anyone know where to get them for $350 still?

no palabras on the gsr yet , but in regard to the 350 check out a company on ebay called tuningdepot they have them 4 350 act now though i already talked to the guy he said once they sell out it will go 2 400 for the b16 and the b18b ls tranny gsr price unknown . A while back same company had a group buy on groupbuycenter may still be available it was 335 shipped there . tom said sema is 2 weeks away and he will find out then

 

anyone talk to earl yet?

 

i can call him

 

i cant wait for a gsr model to be released, maybe next OBX will clone the aem ems for 350 bucks

 

Why does everyone say it's a copy of Quaife? First of all, that would be illegal, since Quaife Patented their exact design, I think they just patented the part that allows the one wheel to still be drivable even if the other one is in the air by using some friction pads and a spring loaded system.

Secondly Quaife didn't invent the torsen diff, it's been around for years in both gear arrangements, they chose this design simply cause its a little bit more efficient, even though it's weaker, they use better materials though to overcome that.

No whether they copied it or not, that doesn't matter, its a cheap LSD worth 1 shot, if you brake it get a quaife, if you don't brake it, you saved $450

 

depends on how old the patent is.

Look at the old Holley Carbs, now there are complete units from Barry Grant, and new bodies from Proform.

 

It isn't expired, btw that little bit of extra functionality isn't that big of a deal I would be surprised if they put that in as well, it will just make it more expensive.
