Regarding the Torvec LSD, they are working on getting them into production and estimate it will be at least 6-8 months before the first diffs are ready to go on sale to the public.
From what I understand, they will be sold (at least for the R200 version) exclusively through Nismo.

hey sfarrah, where/how did you mount your fire suppression nozzles? i've got mine on the roll cage and held up/positioned by several zip ties. also, where did you mount your master cut-off switch? i'm thinkin' about hackin' up my trunk to put the master cut-off switch on it, right next to the 2nd bottle actuator. just trying to get some ideas...i'll be postin' up some pics of my project in another thread

Mater cut off switch is behind where the passenger seat should be in this pic. Easily within reach of safety crews should they need it. I'll have to get pics of the nozzles though and post them later.

ah, i see. i always thought that the master cut-off switch (and the remote pull cable for the extinguisher) should be mounted on the outside of the car. i didn't know it could be just within reach of the window like you have it on the bar. it's something i will definitely have to look into! thanks!

Yeah, I just signed up yesterday morning. Want some more seat time before the last NASA race at Eagles Canyon next month. Saw that you were on the list of entrants so I guess I'll see you there. And yeah, I was quite impressed with the Torvec.
