What differential did Toyota put in these things? All I know its a peg legged, one tyre fire, single spinning work of art. Are there any LSD heads out of a JZZ30 Soarer/SC300/400, JZX100 Chaser or JZA80 Supra that will go in the LS housing? The single spinner caught me out this morning when it decided to spin twins and spun me around at 25mph, and made me look like a complete douche looping out a limousine

 

LOL when I got my 335i I was told limited slip was reserved for M cars. A buddy told me, "Basically, you have 1WD."

Gotta add limited slip to a must have on the next car.

 

Yeah, you can buy a part. Or you can put in a mk.4 supra diff. But I think the supra diff is super expensive and there's one part you have to swap between the two differentials - I think someone in the 2nd gen LS400 forum did it once upon a time.

But the Supra LSD diff has a 3.133 rear end, we have 3.27s in the 01-03 and the 04-06s have 3.62 final drives? You can find out more in this thread.

 

There's plenty of Supras down here, factory rear ends shouldn't be too hard to come by, might try swapping out the diff head for a JZA80 Supra item

 

Would be very cool if someone found a way to do this and post up the results.

 

My 1993 LS400 is supercharged and I did not like the "one wheel peel" so I tried to to find an OEM LSD that would fit the original pumpkin. I tried LSDs from MKIII and MKIV Supras, and from an IS300. None of these options would work. I considered having the MKIV Supra pumpkin frankensteined onto my car with custom axles but the labor cost was too high and there was no guarantee that it would work well. I wound up buying a very expensive Cusco LSD that was designed for the car. It has worked out well so far.

My apologies..... I thought that I was posting in the first gen forum. The Supra LSD will most likely work in the second gen Ls400 and the LS430

 

Would I just have to fit the diff head or swap the whole housing out? I'd imagine the diff head would be the way to go. Not worried about diff ratios being slightly shorter, the gas mileage is utter rubbish as it is

 

Cheers for your input Kitabel. I live in JDM heaven so all of those cars are fairly plentiful here. I might give it a crack, buy a complete unit out of a Supra or Soarer or something and start taking notes of how they fit. Might be able to get away with it I reckon. The LS just sits in the yard anyway so no biggie if its off the road for however long it takes

 

please any more info on this contact me!!

 

The supra diffs do not fit the LS430 I know that for a fact there is no known oem diffs that just bolt in you have to go aftermarket

 

I was asking for my 1999 ls400
