hello, im in the market for a LSD, just wondering if LSD is a must for better handling and performance. i got like a G to kill and want to make it count. so will a nismo lsd for my base be worth it? thanks guys

 

Going fast in a straight line, you wont see much difference.

It's in the twisties where you will probably see the most difference with power comming out of the corners.

 

I have a Cusco Type RS LSD in stock if interested.

Do the 350z's come with lsd like the performance model and so on

 

enthusiast and up come with an LSD standard...not the Nismo one of course

 

The base model does not come with the LSD. All the other models do.

 

For pure performance I would get the 3.917 Final drive from 350EVO. That will give the best bang for 1G.

 

Cool as long as my performance model comes with lsd im cool with it

 

yes it has it...its a viscous unit, so not the best when tons of power are put through it or if the car sees lots of track time but for the avg street driver its fine

 

Buy a cusco 1.5 rs lsd from adam at Z1 performance. I have mine set at 100% lockup. If you race leave it at 100% lockup it comes set that way anyway.

Make sure the diff. fluid has frictiion additive in it. Dont use anything that says NS on the bottle. If so you have to buy a 4 oz bottle separate. See my thread red line warning! Red line is great stuff btw. I use their diff oil - engine oil - trans oil

I have had the lsd in my base model since it had 1000 miles on it.
The cusco is the best on the market; you will love it. It is the best mod on my car thanks to adam. It is most definetely a must have. I also got a unorthodox fly wheel from adam. It is the 2nd best mod on my car. The underpulley is the 3rd best mod I got from adam.

Do yourself a favor and get hold of adam. Oh yea ! The 3.9 from evo is another must have. Just installed mine I want to put 200 miles on it before I get on it. But I can tell already its awesome !

Adam has his set at 60% lockup. Believe me if you race on the streets or the track leave it at 100% I almost changed it to 80% and changed my mind after serious thought.

I love to drift every chance I get. When I turn corners I dont use the steering wheel I use the gas pedal. Changing lockup would screw up my drifting around corners.

I strongly believe the lightest wheels and tires make a huge difference in bottom end. Read my list of mods. Nobody beats me in the 1/8th and most of the time I kick everbodies *** in the 1/4

I doubt I will turbo or supercharge the car unless I become a millionaire; then it will just be a track car.
