I was going to point out the one on ebay but it seems its the one in the photos. I seem to remember a white S being painted on them but obviously that can be long gone.
 
via Realoem, CSL is 3.45, CSi is 3.25.

What exactly is it you are looking for? I have all sorts of diff bits and may have a matched 3.45 crown wheel and pinion set from an open diff (meaning the crown wheel has 8 mounting holes vs the 10 on an LSD diff)

edit - just checked, i have 3.45 and 3.64 CW&P matching sets, both 8 hole for no/open diff. Also have a spare open diff unit.

Keep in mind that CSiL used the 3.25 diff. Only the CSL (carbed) had the 3.45
 
E911, thanks but iv been told I need a 3.25 or 3.45 to go with my engine/transmission setup.

I agree with that- I would stay with a 3.25 for an injected L and go 3.45 for carb'd... unless you've switched to a 5 spd overdrive, then a 3.64 is a perfect choice IMO.

A 3.25 with a close ratios 5 is great set up on the injected cars.

Thanks- Richard
 
Plan is to run an M30 B34 from an 1985, with motronic injection, mated to a 5-speed.

Iv been told either a 3.25 or 3.45 LSD would be best suited.
