Pulled trigger on OS Giken. Which diff cover?
Finally pulled the trigger on the OS Giken LSD. I finally found it on sale. Now I'm buying everything I need for the install including z1 inserts and diff bushings.
OS Giken claims their unit doesn't really produce any more heat than an open diff unit. However... this has not been my experience with clutch LSDs.
So I'll get a finend cover. Is the Z1 cover worth the extra money over a finned cover for just 0.5 liters of extra fluid?
Anybody have an OS Giken in their car and can chime in?
Anybody overheated their diff and can chime in?

Protect your investment, get the Z1 cover and while you're at it get the mounts too

I didn't need to make any modifications, it's definitely close but fits fine.

I have an OS Giken Diff, and it works great with the Nismo Diff Cover. No Issues, however I don't take my Z on the track or drift it, just spirited driving in the mountains. (I wasn't even aware that Z1 had a large capacity diff cover, good to know). If you're OS unit is brand new, make sure to follow the fluid change break in procedure. Btw, that OS fluid is special and very expensive!

I boiled over the fluid many times with the Nismo cover and my OS Diff. I was planning on upgrading to the Z1 cover

Haven't been to the track this year since its been mostly closed and then when it opened I already had plans for the track days. This car will see the track. I know everything goes wayyyyyyy hot at the track. I picked up the larger capacity cover. Maybe I'll take a temp sensor from work and wire it in somewhere so I can track my temperatures and post them for you all.
