323e30 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) have a MED case LSD e30 diff . from a south african e30 motorsport 325i . has done 120kms Car was 100% standard and was an automatic so diff is in very good working condition. tag reads 5.13S 09 86 this diff is the large case and uses a different rear half shaft (drive shalf) but i will include this aswel. $1000 ono (or highest offer) was keeping as a spare for my race car but i dont really need it. MEDIUM CASE SORRY. not Large as listed. Strangely the diff is longer than regular med case diffs from hubs to flange only effects the drive shaft length but still fits on standard mounting points Edited March 2, 2009 by 323e30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Did they really offer one with a large case? Bizzare. You can't break a medium case with an E30... What ratio is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

323e30 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Unusual, standard 4 bolt input flange, or the universal type? images show actual diff, its the standard flange like all e30s but the diff is longer and uses a shorter drive shaft compared to the Med case lsd diff that i have.

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Think the tag says 45:13 which is 3.46 ratio. Looks like a standard Med case? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) If it goes in a standard subframe then how can it be longer? The top bolt holes and the hanger bracket determine where it fits? Brent? Edited March 2, 2009 by Silver Fox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bimabro Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Been looking at lsd's for a while, havn't come across many. Can anyone clear-up what lsd this actually is??.... I don't think many people want to spend a grand and find it doesn't fit, need to know the exact specs... so its med case dif out of auto?.. what ratio and lock-up. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Standard Med case, go in any E30, or E28 if you change the back plate and input shafts, easy to do. Lockup is 25% ex factory, ramp angle is 45 degrees, ratio is 3.46 I think, would pay to confirm by doing a physical check tho. Looks sweet.

Cheers for that, can the seller confirm this?? also my mate did an lsd in his e36 (325 or 328 manual I think), it was 6bolt, med case with that ratio, would that be right/ possible? or is this lsd different?

He could have, but not with this diff, it won't fit an E36. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

323e30 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 thats a medium case diff . not a large this is a LARGE case from a e28 etc has 8 bolts on the side flanges any idea why this diff is longer than normal med case diffs? I have a med case 6 bolt lsd in my race car but this diff is a good 30 odd mm's longer from the hubs to the front flange so it uses a shorter drive shaft than regular med case diffs. came out of a 1987 s.a Motor sport auto 325i all m sport gear otherwise standard (diff could be from anywhere after 21 years tho) .

Your call. I wasn't planning on picking it up before paying, so you would be paid in full before parting with the diff. Pretty safe on your side if you ask me. Deposit was only so you would hold it because I can't pick it up this week, and I come to Auckland every 2-3 weeks, so no point paying freight. I wouldn't pay in full until I picked up. I'm not that trusting. Good luck with the sale. At $750 I might be interested if you guarantee it. Let me know. Edited March 3, 2009 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
