Default Rear LSD questions, torsen, Nismo and cost

So I got a 350z base, I got it because I didn't want any traction control to have to turn off every power cycle and because I knew I was going to want to replace the factory LSD.

So I knew a LSD was about $800-$1300 but I didn't realize you needed new bearings and stub axles for most. I wanted the wave track because it is torsen but also had the design to work with a wheel lifted but after axles and stuff it's around $1800......

The Nismo diff seems to come with everything, I didn't want to go to a clutch type diff due to the extra maintenance but CZP is selling the 2 way for $1,145 and the 1.5 way for $1350, I wanted a 1.5 way because this will be more street and track days with some hobby drifting vs a dedicated drift or track car but with the 2 way being that much cheaper.... Does anyone know the stats between the 1.5 and 2 way? I know 1.5 doesn't mean it has exactly half the lock just some amount less, or could I lessen the deceleration lock on the 2 way before install?

I have no stats, but the NISMO 1.5 is an aggressive street/track diff. I can't imagine the 2.0 version not being more of a drift only type diff.

It just has more locking under deceleration, from what I understand most clutch type diff's are adjustable, most 1.5 ways can be upgraded to 2 way so I was wondering if for $200 it was worth looking into "down grading" the 2 way.

I'd love to get a torsen ot helical but I don't have $2600+ to spend on a diff..... a whole new CD009 is only $1700

Also how long does a clutch type LSD last before needing an overhaul?
