sounds good, but i don't think 'two stripes' is a good way to tell the locking rate. even stock lsd can give you the marks and you know how unpredictable pos stock lsd is 
as long as the initial torque and lock engagement is predictable, i dont think it will matter so much, and i assume you had no trouble by reading your post..

I also running right now Motul fluids,motor oil 5-40,gearbox and diff.I dont remember virsocities but i must say that they were the most expensive the dealer had,so they must be the first of the firma.
So,my car is N/A running a 100shot of nos withe plenty of tunes,stock lsd limitided diff and right now i have 80000klm with only one transmision running and only one diff.The stocks i mean.I have changed once at 3000klm both fluids and my first clutch(13,97 totaly stock)with oem as nissan recommends and after 10000klm i went with MOTUL for the rest of my life.Next week i will replace them again with motul and also i will add slick50 because of the raped use i do to my Z.I love this car

Use Motul 90PA in clutch style LSD's such as Nismo, Carbonetics, or Cusco.
Use the Motul Gear oil for an OEM LSD, Quaife, and your 6MT Trans.

I used the Gear 300 75w-90 in the tranny and diff (stock VLSD, NOT CLUTCH TYPE, ues the 90pa for clutch type LSD's) The gear 300 is the racing oil, and is a pure ester based synthetic, the Motul gear is a synthetic blend, or so motul site says, but I'm sure it's just as good.. says it's designed for "notchy" transmissions... but I figured I'd go with the full ester based synthetic.
Also it is IMPORTANT that ALL oils that go in the tranny are GL4 approved, so they have lower sulfer in them, so they dont harm yellow metals (like copper, bronze, etc) which nissan uses in it's syncro's. GL4 is a standard that requires lower polutants in the oil, and GL5 allows more polutants, but requires better friction reduction... luckily all the Motul gear oils meet both GL4 AND GL5.

I purchased some of this Motul fluid from Sharif thinking what the heck, I hate my NISMO LSD 90% of the time and any improvement would be welcomed. I had just put in some Redline Oil about 300 miles ago, but it did nothing to improve the clucking, popping and overall annoyance of the NISMO LSD. The Motul showed up about an hour before Sharif did at the shop, so we changed the oil and took bets on what if any improvements we would notice...
Well, MIAPLAYA was right
the Motul fluid has made a major improvement! It's not exactly like stock, but damn close.
This product is a MUST buy if you have a NISMO LSD!!!

As we were refilling the diff....the room was filled with doubt as we refilled with the Motul PA90. The change in behavior was nothing short of breathtaking. Even in cold weather, it was about 90% smooth and stock. I am sure in warmer climates it would be near stock...as MIAPLAYA reported.
I am a first hand believer now!

Redline quiets mine down for about 700 - 1000 miles. It works nice for a race but breaks down too fast for daily driving. Hopefully your diff was properly broken-in.
BTW, who won the bet?

I'm just glad you guys are getting the same effect I did. Mine sounded pretty broken prior to switching also..

Shopping around, this vendor has a super low price advertised: $14.80 for the 2L!!! If there is a vendor here that can beat that, PM me. Ready to buy.
