    Replace diff? ABS?

    Long time no post but thanks for all the previous info. There's been a slight change of plans, the LS3 is now going into a Varietta (yes, I know ... because I can?). I'm presuming I'll now need to replace the diff? In your opinion, what's my best option here? S15 helical? R33,34? Z? Any...

    Replace diff? ABS?

    Replace diff? ABS?

    I probably should start a separate thread for this but you're keeping the good info coming so I'll push my luck (happy to be an LS3 test dummy for you as payback?).

    Replace diff? ABS?

    Thanks for this, it gives me some comfort. The S15 has always had this great 'corner on the throttle' feeling that I thought had a lot to do with the diff, so I did want to keep it. And I'll definitely keep you in the picture, so to speak. One further question while we're at it please? I was...

    Replace diff? ABS?

    I'm planning an LS3 swap into my S15 and have a couple of questions re the diff and ABS. (Yes, I know, it's sacrilege, my apologies.) The car is an Australian delivered 2002 RHD Nissan 200SX Spec S (mechanically equivalent to a JDM S15 Spec R I believe). Plans involve a stock GM crate LS3 (430...

    Hiya from Down Under

    I have an untouched S15 purchased new in 2002 but that's about to change. I don't intend to race, drift or show the car, but just want a really nice ride that looks pretty special. Outside I'm thinking a widebody aero kit with some nice wheels. I want a super clean look, so not too radical...
