Auto block on 2003?

[Zik]

Hi guys, Just wanted to know if installing auto block on a non auto block is possible. I have a 2003 SE 4WD that came without auto block (or should it be LSD?) and its rear end is super loose, it thinks its a 350z on a pathfinder chassis and was wondering if it can be done

To answer your question, yes you can install an LSD into an axle that didn't have one to begin with.  Here's a link to Google search results from this forum (more user-friendly than the forum's built-in search feature) about swapping an LSD into a Pathfinder without one.  WD21 Pathfinders have an extremely similar rear axle to the one in your R50, so even the search results about older trucks will be relevant.
