Some interesting info,
I have found with my Piazza diff,
having now fitted it to both a sedan and p/van,

The Piazza LSD Disk Brake diff's will fit a T series Gemini if:
1, it has the tourque tube.
2, for sedan you need Torana sedan rear shocks ( bottom shock mounts are the same as the P/van
3, for sedan or P/van you need the P/van Panard rod,
4,wheels, as the diff is a little bit wider you can get away with front wheel drive offest wheels, ie RB Gemini, or most of the aftermarket wheels, just donot use spacers on the rear, you may need to lip your guards,
5, Handbrake cable, this need to be manufactured as it will be longer than the Gemini version, ABS have taken care of that for me,

6, And the Cops do not have a clue, it also passed a full roadworth in vic as well, the mechanic considered it a standard part and never asked a question,

Is the LSD fun?

it'd be nice to find an LSD off a ZZ/R

that should fit up stock

Yes that is true,
You can use the LSD centre from a early commodore diff, The problem is that there are very few good secondhand parts left, so you have to use new parts, but these diff's are not as strong as the Piazza centre's so I am told,
