| A Christmas present. |
Subject: A Christmas present.

In my eternal pursuit of those elusive, rare & desirable parts for my little coupe, I sometimes have to move quickly.
I had known about this little item for some time & had made some noises about wanting it for my KB10, but the owner was keeping it for his own KB10 with fire breathing A15 instead. After a while he started talking about actually installing it, & since it is the only example of this item that I have ever encountered, I decided that I had to do something quickly.
A phone call & an offer that left him speechless for more than a few seconds meant that I had obviously gone too high, but it was within the value range that Feral had suggested & it was too late to backtrack.
The deal was done & I had bought myself a Christmas present, but would have to wait for a suitable time to pick it up.
That time was today. A slow & VERY HOT trip of over 180k [115 miles] meant that I now have it in my possession, so another small step forward.
The best presents come in boxes like this.
This is a nice new Nismo LSD for the H150 third member. The H150 differential will fit into my H145 rear axle housing & allow me to run the higher 3.7 to 1 ratio straight up, & if that still proves to be a bit short, then a 3.54 to 1 ratio can be sourced for it.
I could of course do this with the stronger H165 diff, but it is more costly as it needs narrowing, it is un-necessarily heavier, & is overkill behind my puny little weed of an A13 engine.
Thank you [unidentified] fellow club member & KB10 owner, your decision to sell this to me is very much appreciated. So was the beer at the end of the day.
