Lead on a LSD Diff?
Does anyone know of a source that may have a guard 930 LSD in stock? I have been waiting on them to get their backordered housings in for 2+ months. I am about at the point where I need to reinstall the motor and trans with the stock open diff in order to get to the track early next month. Not looking forward to having to pull it back out again when the damn diff finally arrives.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a LSD and R&P that was removed from a 1985 930 with 20K miles. It was replaced with a quaife set up. Go figure as it was a street car. Whats one worth? Pm if you feel better that way.

Check out Guard's website. They have a interesting link to an article from Velocity magazine that goes into some pretty good detail on the different styles and applications.

Hayabusa:
for the street it doesn't matter. For the track lsd, for autocrossing quaife. |

As for the original question of finding a Guard LSD right now, it's next to impossible. None of us who are Guard authorized dealers have gotten a shipment of 915/930 diffs in about 6 months. The few shops that still have them on their shelves have been standing on them with respect to price and asking top top dollar for them. I heard a rumour through the grapevine that one recently passed hands from Shop to shop for about $2800!!! Until Guard gets the components to finish assembling their latest order, private party sale in the used market is about the only source for one at a reasonable price. 930DLR, If you are willing to consider something other than a Guard diff, drop me a line. I have inventory of both rebuilt factory ZF type LSD's as well as another brand of LSD's that have just very recently come to the market...

As 930DLR indicated in the opening post, they are actually only missing one single part to be able to put them together. The problem is that their manufacturer in Australia hasn't delivered it yet. I have stopped pestering Mike@ Guard with questions of "when" because I know how tired he is of telling people that he has no updates on an expected arrival date. Mike's a guy with the patience of a saint, and even he's getting impatient at this point...
