Can Front Wheel Drive vehicles use limited slip differentials? (I have a 1998 200SX SE i want to get one)?
I have a 1998 Nissan 200SX SE and I want to put a Limited Slip Differential on my car for better handling and acceleration. I found a website that has them for my specified car, but I never knew you could put them on a front wheel drive car. Any answers?

PhantomGrip makes one for your car, for about $300 (parts only... installation could run BIG bucks if you can't do it yourself). No insult intended, but the car is probably not worth the investment unless you are a serious track rat. The other option would be to get hold of a diff from the Sentra SE-R (not any other Sentra, it has to be an SE-R). Those came from the factory with a limited slip. You could probably swap it out, although do a very careful check before buying to make sure it'll fit. Good luck!

Looking for a 90's sports car next year, suggestions?
I currently drive a 1988 Nissan Skyline GXE, and that has served me well for the past 2 years, but I'm starting to look for something with a bit more power. The 'Line currently pumps out around 95kW/130hp, which is actually quite pitiful for a 3.0L straight-6 but it still does the job. My preference is towards Japanese sports cars, specifically Nissans and Subarus. Here's some I've been looking at: - S14 Nissan 200SX Sports Luxury, 2.0L naturally-aspirated (optional turbocharged) SR20DE/T inline-4 - Toyota Soarer GT Limited/Lexus SC400, 4.0L naturally-aspirated V8 - EF/EL/AU Ford Falcon XR6, 4.0L naturally-aspirated (optional turbocharged) V6 - Mazda MX-5/Miata, 1.6L naturally-aspirated inline-4 (Secret love for this car, even if it is a little girly) - 1989 R31 Nissan Skyline Silhouette, 3.0L naturally-aspirated straight-6 (same as my current GXE but with a different body-style, limited-slip differential and 5-speed manual compared to the GXE's 4-speed auto) RB30E - 1989 R32 Nissan Skyline, 2.0L naturally-aspirated (optional turbo) straight-6 RB20DE/T - 1995 R33 Nissan Skyline GTS-25T, 2.5L naturally-aspirated (optional turbo) straight-6 RB25DE/T - 1989 MA71 Toyota Supra (prefer this bodystyle to the JZA80), 3.0L twin-turbocharged straight-6 1JZ-GTE - 1995-2000 Subaru Impreza WRX, 2.0L turbocharged flat-4 "Boxer" EJ20. Suggestion's open, but a few ground rules: - No Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers and other American muscle cars. I live in Australia where they're not only very hard to find for a cheap price, they're also highly impractical in terms of both maintenance and fuel costs compared to the Japanese cars. The exception to this rule is the American engine-based but Aussie-built Holden Commodores. But I hate Holden Commodores with a passion so don't even think about it. - No Honda Civics or Toyota Corollas. I am completely aware of their reliability but I don't want to buy one that I then have to blow the rest of my money on trying to make it keep up with the least powerful car on my list which is the S14 200SX. Plus the RB engines in Skylines are very reliable and easy to milk the power out of as well. The only Honda I would consider is anything with a Type-R badge. But they're out of my price range of AU$7500. johnny - Here in Aus Skylines are pretty popular cars, but I'd love to have another one; the RB straight-6s are awesome engines. I'll add the R34 25GT to my list as well because they look very tasty. There's barely any of them around my town as well so it'll stand out. And also luxury isn't very high on my list. My current S'Line just has a simple 4-speed auto gearbox, air-conditioning and a custom stereo and that's all I need, although cruise control and a 5-speed manual would be nice as well. The SC400 has a verrrry long features list though which I do take into consideration. It's more fun-factor over anything else that I'm considering.

Lexus SC400. The others you mentioned aren't bad but the Lexus is definitely the nicest on your list.
