Default What is this going to the differential on 370Z?

What is the hose going to the bottom of the diff in the picture of 370Z below?

Diff cooler?

to me looks like the hosing for an external cooler and the switch to turn the pump on.
honestly if they use that to test the car on the track is like cheating. more stable temperature will make the lsd work better. I also noticed an oil cooler in one of the pictures, just behind the left front wheel fender/cover.

That's by bet too, maybe to cool the viscous LSD for a few "driftin" photos...

That’s something you will not get in the production model.

of course not... it's just useful for somebody that use a sport car as a sport car... but more maintenance for who use it for the grocery.

Its a differential cooler, apparently their were fitted lines like this up front for what looks to be like an oil cooler. Rumor is they are going to be future Nismo parts...
