This is the exact conclusion that we came up with when building James' SR20DET
powered car. We decided to put an all-new 8" Ford rear end from Currie (with
the rear disc brakes, LSD, and all new parts) rather than dealing with a LSD
that I can only buy limited parts for, converting the rear drums to disc, etc.
At the end of the day, James can beat on this rear end to his hearts content,
and if he blows it up, wants to change the final drive ratio, etc., it won't be
a problem to order new parts to fix it. Same can't be said for the Nissan LSD
and associated parts...

I'm also of the opinion that unless you just absolutely must keep the
OEM rig that a custom unit from Moser or Currie would probably be
little, if any most costly than the factory pieces, plus giving you
access to a number of LSD and pretty much R&P ratio you could want,
much greater durability and much less expensive service parts.
FWIW,
Ron
