Johnny Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hello guys, Been offered a LSD, supposed to be a Cusco one that was removed from a Glanza Box with equal Driveshafts. Now, I know what a differential looks like. But unsure if this is a LSD? or Even Cusco? there are no markings on it. At the moment my car has No LSD, and just wants to torque steer into trees, cars and hedges. Heres some photos if someone can confirm and educate me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If it had equal length drive shafts then it's OEM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 You replace the OEM diff with an aftermarket LSD one mate. I know the OEM LSD has unequal driveshafts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamesglanza Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Oem lsd has a shortened drivers side drive shaft, so there pretty much equal length. And you need a different engine mount and flywheel cover mate. Will not fit in a normal gearbox casing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Oem is helicalCusco would be plated and as far as I'm aware they have markings. Do some research mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Think oem is a viscous diff bolted onto side of gearbox. You got a picture of the side of the dif ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And you need a different engine mount and flywheel cover mate. Will not fit in a normal gearbox casing im running oem lsd there no where near equal lenght theres like 4 to 6 inch diference in them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 You sir are right! Think I still have oem lsd internals some where in a box, will dig them out to compare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 You sir are right! Think I still have oem lsd internals some where in a box, will dig them out to compare. nice 1 count the 5th gear combo cogs theet to check ratio same with diff and output shaft as there is different FD and different size 5th gear setups out there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Shit someone called the drive shaft police, lol I Know that's not the case and I'm still unsure why people say (equal length drive shafts) but it's a lot shorter than normal and I've never been that anal to get a tape and measure them. As LukEP already said it and to save a petty dispute on the length of a drive shaft I also said pretty much the same length. Why did they use a shorter shaft and a longer box? What was the extra bit of the box used to accommodate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 A lot of teeth have been broken and some gears nearly shredded but I will dig out the box I had been given. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If it was removed from a box with equal length drive shafts then it's an OEM LSD not cusco! that's completely wrong information lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I know the limitations of my knowledge on gearboxes and it stops at what they look like lol. Why did they fit a long coupling and short shaft? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I know the limitations of my knowledge on gearboxes and it stops at what they look like lol. Why did they fit a long coupling and short shaft? if you look at an oem lsd box there is an extra bit on the box that houses the lsd if you had the two beside each other you'd notice the difference straight away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 When I had a OEM LSD Box in my glanza, the Driveshafts were noticeably different. Also, as mention had a different mount. This Diff has come out a standard box, that uses the normal drive shafts found in non-LSD boxes. Im mearly asking,does it look like an LSD? Or Does it look like a standard non-LSD.

Johnny Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) In a wheelbarrow. Lol, I had just driven from Weymouth in a 200sx to pick it up. Had to get it to the shed somehow Was like 3-4 years ago now tho. Edited March 30, 2016 by Johnny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) that's completely wrong information lolSo you tell me what other glanza box has equal length drive shafts? (If your being anal!! "More equal to the standard open diff length") Edited March 30, 2016 by lukEp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Do you have access to the box it came it to look at the casing for the extra housing?That would point you in the right direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So you tell me what other glanza box has equal length drive shafts? (If your being anal!! "More equal to the standard open diff length") I'm not being anal at all I'm not talking mm here lol oem lsd boxes come with a small shaft they arnt more equal at all that the standard non lsd drive shafts ....Top two shafts are non lsd Bottom two are oem lsd shafts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 You are being anal. Who gives a shite if I've never measured the length of an OEM Driveshafts before. Who gives a shite if you have and I can't remember reading the first post and one of the questions being what are the lengths of the drives shafts."Been offered a LSD, supposed to be a Cusco one that was removed from a Glanza Box with !!!!!EQUAL!!!! Driveshafts" He called them equal I knew what he ment, I was responding to his question as he asked it. So yes your being anal. Or what I should have done is pointed out first is how anal I am by saying that, Starlets don't come with equal length drive shaft. One is a few inches longer than the other on the OEM LSD than on none LSD one, they're totally different lengths and don't forget that not only are the shaft different length but different thicknesses as well as having different splines and different inner Cups and different CV bearing with different size inner CV boots.
