HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I was way off. It's $1795.00 for an OS Giken limited slip.

There's no way I'm paying that much for a limited-slip on a franken-car like mine

But what about keeping it all Nissan?

How is an OS Giken LSD keeping it Nissan, wouldn't you need a Nissan Comp diff to maintain "all Nissan"?

No, a Giken isn't, but a Mazda rear is a whole lot less so

Right. If you want to maintain all Nissan parts then Datsun comp is the way to go.

I think there is also another H190 option that the folks in Australia use that still uses Nissan parts

What are the pros and cons of just rebuilding the stock rear end? I want to convert it to disks brakes regardless of if I keep the stock 2000 rear end or if I go with another option. I'm mainly worried about the stock rear end being able to handle the 200-250 horsepower of the SR20DET??

Thanks

SR20det? I dont think there are any pros.
Cons, old material, expenses converting to disc, converting to LSD.
IIRC the Kaplan srdet car finally gave up its diff. With a gramps behind the wheel.

Seems to be holding up quite well now even with leadfoot Erica behind the wheel

I found the thread:

It's not directly bolt-in but it is ~$900 (in 2014) and still Nissan:
