Cusco RS LSD shipped lock-up setting?
What setting does the diff get shipped as?
There's ZERO (english) information in the box on it's configuration or how to open it up and change it.
Thanks for the help

OK, after a dozen phone calls, I got a friendly shop familiar with Cusco to answer my questions.
For the sake of documentation on this site, I'll post the answers.
The diff consists of multiple clutch plates on either side of pressure rings. Half of the plates have 'teeth' protruding out from the outer edge of the plate AND have a smooth inner diameter (this type will be call 'outside'). The other half of the clutch plates have a smooth disc-like outer edge but have 'teeth' on the inside diameter (this type will be called 'inside').
From the factory, the diff comes configured as 100%. To confirm the setup, when you open up the diff you will see that on both sides of the pressure rings that the plates are stacked in an alternating manner of inside, outside, inside, outside, etc.
To convert it to 60% you need to reconfigure the plate staking combination. From the pressure rings out: 2 inside, 2 outside, 2 inside, 2 outside.
Having said that, when looking at the diagram it seems like there's only 7 plates per side so the last outer plates would be a single 'outside', not double.
The guy also mentioned that each plate should be coated in oil when restacking them.
I'll try and get pics to when we open it up in a couple of days (waiting for diff bearings and seals to arrive first).

(sorry. didnt see this post!)
next time search Cusco... Daytona350z (aka Anthony) and I both have the RS.
the LSD is fantastic on 60% lock..... just be sure to swap the oil out after about 500 or so miles...

now, your box should be marked with a 1.5 or 2 way. you can also change that depending on the position of the cam inside. i think i have english instructions. give me a couple days to let me see if i can find em.

I too have this LSD but it was installed with the 100% lock, so later on I can change it to 60%.
Not that 100% is all that bad, but I will chirp tires at low speeds turning and people look at me like I am racing through or something.

I was hoping to get it done Wednesday but the damn diff bearings and seals are back ordered in Canada (took them 2 days to tell me that) :-(.
I'll call a couple of US shops to see if they can get some sooner.
I'll definitely post pics when the install is getting done.
