Default Limited Slip Differential

I have a manuel 2005 35th anniversary Z that has been modified with headers and a Borla exhaust. I just added a Vortech supercharger and after the dino I'm now getting 370hp to the rear. Before I go thru my rear tires I need to install a LSD and was wondering if anyone has some positive feedback on what type has worked well. I've looked at Quaife and possibly looking at a LSD that came off a NISMO Z. Thanks Mark

Quaife is a good unit, the OEM nismo is a VLSD that is identical to the garbage currently installed in your car.

True... not to mention it'll be as old as my crappy differential

And I highly recommend the NISMO GT Pro 1.5 LSD. Very tough race unit if set up properly. Part #38420-RSS15-82.

I love my OS Unit (NS111). Tune-able and rebuild-able, but pricey. I haven't had any noise or performance issues with it. Just follow the recommended break-in period and fluid change intervals (Fluid is also crazy expensive).

I know the OS unit is good but I'm looking for a LSD that doesn't require much maintenance which is probably why I'm going to go with the Quaife unit. Thanks for the response

OS does not require any more maintenance than Quaife
