A fellow 1200 member and I are trying to come up with a fair price for the H145 LSD diff (4.11 gear) in my coupe. Want to do a fair deal with them. As mentioned in another post I've sourced a H190. The H145 is in good working order and while they are getting hard to find I don't believe they are worth crazy money. Any feedback would be welcome as there isn't a lot of information on the net.

MODS: if this belongs in the classifieds let me know or move it if needed.

Have too be worth approx the same as a h165 lsd i'd suggest approx $1000 if its in good working condition.

I guess it is worth what you would be happy to receive for it. They are the sort of part that is somewhat fragile and not suitable behind high torque developing engines. Being for the H145 they are tiny little hemispheres. Hard launches and very wide sticky tyres will break them. The part that lets go is the inner housing that holds the clutch packs and the sides gears locate on. In particular the section where the pin goes through can crack. They are a top piece of kit if they are looked after. Replacement clutch packs are all but NLA on this side of the world, are they available in the US?

They would be the perfect part for maybe historic classes, say 1300 class.

Due to there rarity, upwards towards ~$1000 would be on the money imo, possibly more considering what the famous twin outlet GX exhaust manifold is selling for these days. Personally Tom, I would sell it on the condition that you are offered 1st chance to buy it back if it was to resold again incase you don't like the H190 due to the extra un-sprung weight. Are you changing due to a different ratio?

cheers

Yes, 1000+ is my estimate (if in working order, less if it needs new clutch packs). That's what H190 LSD sell for.

this is wrong for two reasons... not selling for big money anymore AND the only reason they were was because of a specific race category rules

i dont think the H145 lsd is worth $1000 if it is 30-40 years old and you can buy a brand new H165 LSD for $1000-1100 as this is much more desirable in the general market

Morally wrong maybe, but demand can determine the price. Most of us regulars would not consider dropping the best part of a K on a cast iron iron manifold, you would sooner commission a set of custom headers for that money. The H145 lsd is the real deal and perfect for applications, such as what Tom has been using it for. Money is no restriction when period correct parts are required. BTW when was the last time you came across an authentic Nismo H165 LSD for $1000 -$1100. Topgear ones maybe, but not Nismo. Yahoo auctions JP are a real eye opener to see what these types of parts go for these days.

to be clear, i am suggesting the comparison, in terms of pricing, you made is wrong (between the LSD and exhaust), and if i can get $1000 these days for a GX exhaust please let me know where cause i will sell one

I was referring to the Topgear H165 LSD, yes. My point was most would choose H165 topgear over H145 nismo for the same price. Is there period specific racing categories that would restrict you to the use of the Nismo LSD only?

I would say that their fragility is a real turn off.
Although I do know a guy who says he has some special tooling to remake one of the parts that breaks. (And he has a couple of broken ones squirreled away as well)
Plus for a thousand bucks you could make another diff do the same job, and it would be much much stronger. And an H190 with an alloy carrier is that heavy really. I wonder if the alloy H165 centers can take an LSD nugget? (I'm sure Dodgeman would know if he were still lurking)

There is quite a difference between clutch type and torsion type lsd on track.This is the reason why the nismo types fetch more money.

You will have to be very very lucky to land a genuine nismo lsd unit in oz for 1000bucks.

Nissan had/still has alot of funds to research and develop nismo items...
Nismo clutch type lsds were only developed with the sole purpose of competition...and h145,h165,and h190 nismo lsds are designed to suit certain hp/torque depending on your application.u wouldnt run a h145 behind a worked a15...

rallytwit is ur h145 a nismo unit?
from personal experience nismo h165 lsds come up more often for sale than nismo h145 lsd units.

Nismo simply buys the LSD from other vendors.
