JDM RX-7 GTR LSD Swap?

Hey I am planning on importing a jdm fc. The only reason why I am favoring a GTX is because it has a stock lsd, but if I get a GTR... I know that it does not come with an LSD, but if I were to purchase one, what would be the best thing to do if I want an LSD in there; swap or aftermarket? Does anyone know which LSD (the n. american TII might? I don't know much about this) will fit in the GTR?

thanks!

*edit* I'm talking about an S5 btw

Who told you the GTX/GTR has no LSD?

I thought all turbo II's had LSD.
All of them in the US do.

The only NA ones in the US to have LSD would be the GXL/88GTU/GTU's

Also expect to pay over 10k to get it LEGALLY brought into the US and street legal.

I posted a thread here a few weeks back. The GTX has an LSD. The GTR is the base model in Japan that has no LSD.

And I can get one for about 6 - 7,500 CAN through importconcern.ca.

I think you all are just assuming because of the US specs.

No way.

*edit* I don't want to sound cold, but I guess I asked the wrong forum... Thanks for the help though.

Than to answer your question, a series 5 LSD from north america will fit into your vehicle with no fuss.

Did you read my original message? I wasn't asking if this or that model had an LSD, I wanted to know my options!

Whatever dude, you know you edited it. You wrote something stupid and I replied to it, then you realized your mistake. Leave it at that, don't try and hide it. Funny man.

I know, I've edited messages many times, look at my post:
"No way.

*edit* I don't want to sound cold, but I guess I asked the wrong forum... Thanks for the help though."

there is no EDIT at the bottom I don't know why - but sometimes it doesn't show up.

I don't care if I can't prove it, you know it inside that you edited it. I'm just saying.

Your question was answered!

Try editing your post now, and see if it doeset say anything at the bottom.

The only way a post can be edited without someone knowing, is if it hasnt been seen.

Edit:

Hey look, someone saw this, and what is this crap on the bottom of my post?

Hm you can see I have a weak soul. Could you also tell me my horoscope? Or maybe you know when Jesus will return. Share the wealth of knowledge!
