With final drive I feel like I have a 400HP car.

lukesnyder- if you wrap your seats with a diaper - like material such as Depends and ditch the extra **** bottle you could shed 3 more pounds off the car and feel like you have 402 horsepower. Just a suggestion.

+3 for the 3.9 FD. I went with the FD first beacuse I also don't see the point of bolt-ons for this car. The car pulls much harder now and you get much more low end grunt from the FD. I only have the 3.9FD w/ stock lsd and am very pleased w/ the performace. Installed it was only $1500 and change. I'll wait till the stock clutch is smoked, then I'll consider a clutch/flywheel combo. I definetly recommend for anyone who wants to stay NA.
BJ and the guys a 350Evo (Wright Tuning) are awsome to do business with. Very excellent service.

The nismo is a 1.5 upgradeable to full 2 way. It is also a clutch type.
The OEM LSD.. is IMHO, crap. It's a viscous type, and 1 way...
The nismo lsd is the cusco mz unit. Either hte RS or the MZ are very streetable. I have not driven them in the Z, but lots of other cars on the track.
just my 2 psi...

I know someone that has the NISMO lsd and hates it. He is going to remove it, replacing it with stock. If you want it let me know and I will put him in touch with you.

Look at it this way, if you buy the complete pumpkin $2100 from 350EVO and sell your stock pumpkin to an AT guy for $500 your looking at a total cost of $1600 for the FD if you do your own labor.

I recently installed the EVO 3.917 & Nismo G.T. LSD. VERY pleased. I can't wait to use it at Watkins Glen!!!!
FYI.....to calculate your CORRECT speed, time yourself between mile markers on an expressway in seconds. Divide that number into 3600 & wala(?) = actual speed! My speedo reads about 5.5 MPH high at 84 MPH with my 255/40 17's.
