Have you tried TM Engineering or Rod Millen Motor Sport? I bought mine in Dec from Rod Millen.
I would have gone to TM but I did'n't know at the time of purchase they carried the unit

Yea!!! That's what I told Blair at RMM. Any way, I bit the bullet and got one. Its worth every penny of it.
Try TM, I heard they may be a little cheaper. If you get used, be careful cuz some 3.76's are not lsd.

Just picked up one off www.supraforums.com for 700.00 shipped, you might want to check over there. I saw 2 others for sale around that range last week.

Another option is to go through adrenaline motorsports in canada, he has 1 or 2 for 850.00 shipped. He'll supply you with pics if you ask for them. I know if atleast one CL member who has gotten a LSD from him and he sells/buys quite often on the supra forums. His ID here is adrenaline and on the supra forum, he goes by suprafanatic. Good luck.

Haha, So your the one that got it from TurboSC300... lol, U beat me to it man...He was gonna sell it to me... He wanted to trade his auto 3.76 for a 6spd rear diff.. But its a little abused if He was pushing over 500WHP... LSD's get raped...

oh by the way....adrenaline motorsports doesn't have it any more... I've spoken to him and I wanted to get one for me... Trust me dude, their all gone...

Good luck finding a used one dude...

LOL...yup that would be me, I tracked him down at the gym and told him it was all mine I'm hoping it's in good shape, I know he was putting down some seious numbers, but I had another one lined up and that guy was pushing 650RWHP, so I'm hoping this is the better of the two.


If it isn't, I'm going to take a little drive to Austin ( 2hrs away) and do donuts in his front lawn

lol He called me up and said he had it available.. I said i'll take it... 6 hours later it was sold...


Anything over 400WHP is bad for the LSD... I know they say it uses gears and TRD uses Clutch packs... but its so much force that its Raping the poor bastard!!

Paying $1500 for an LSD is way too much...

Even Brand New TRD unit is $900 + $400(labour) U still save, but U get way better traction than the supra LSD..

I drove my buddies stock 94 supra 6spd.. he is using an auto LSD for now and can only rev to 5 grand... But the grib is not that good... I feel as though i'm almost on open diff...

So TRD is way better in my opinion and Specially if U going FI..

So U might want to look at that route... unless U have no plans of FI in the future and will keep car NA then go Supra LSD because its way faster!

As for the LSD, if you're looking for the LSD unit alone,you can find those on the supra forum for around 100-400 USD. I'd suggest saving up for the whole pumpkin, I was really hunting for the 3.76 gearing, the LSD is a bonus in my opinion. But the LSD alone is a pain in the butt, something like 4 hours of labor for the swap and you'd better find a darn good mechanic who has done that type of thing before.


Clutch type LSD also wear out quite quicker, so you'll have to do this all over a few years down the road....depending on your driving habits I had a TT rx-7 that put out 463RWHP before the GS400 and the differential held up very well, especially considering how I use to immitate a fish on the streets. My friend's 96 Supra TT was the same way and you really couldn't drive those cars the same way through the turns as the RX-7. But in the straightaways, its all toyota. Anyway, good luck with the search. I'll let you know if Icome accross any
