I've got the Cusco RS yes. Twice as many disks? Lots more noise for one, but I suppose it might be a bit smoother engagement. Honestly I could not see it being anything dramatic as my Cusco literally is no louder than the stock LSD was. No clanks, no tire sqealing, nothing...just a smoother operation. Hands down one of the best mods I have done to date.
Install on the final drive with all the misc. BS parts you need is around $550 give or take ($450 for the install on average and $100 for parts)

Im Sorry, i forgot to tell you i drive a 5at. =P How would a more aggressive LSD affect me, besides the fact taht it might be louder??

what do you guys think of the 3.9 fd on a HKS supercharged Z pushin roughly 300rwph/300rwtq? I can't really mod this HKS kit with engine mods without dropping major amounts of money, but I want to give my car a little bit more acceleration.

I'll be swapping the Lightning in on a Z soon. I plan on stay N/A and tracking the he11 out of it. Lets say I can pick up a differential at a junkyard for less than $500. Gears, plus LSD, and do the install my self, what are the tolerances for setting the gear?

Nah, ISMSOLUTIONS from g35driver.com has done the 3.92 fd and he drives a auto, so i kno its possible. I just dont know what i would need to do to make this work. Im planning to call 350evo and ask them about this. But before i ask them , how can a nismo lsd be unstreetable for a 5at with no clutch? Is the only negative the noise factor??
