Question Adjusting a nismo lsd????

Hey guys can someone explain to me how to adjust the lok percentage on a nismo lsd? Also how do you switch 2 way to 1.5? Yes i've searched but haven't found anything explaining how in detail. Hoping to fnd out today so I can adjust if need be while my car is in the shop. Also I was thinking to set it at 60% lock, my car is a semi daily driver but I prefer performance over drivability. Sound good?
Thanks for any help guys!

hit it with a hammer really hard or call it names.

'hey fatty, why don't you have 80% lock up? huh chubby?'

that gets results.

everyone with a Nismo LSD I know (me included) leaves it at 60% lockup, the lowest.

changing lockup (or is it preload? not sure) you slide the stub axle off and use a socket wrench. I have instructions somewhere if you need them and no one else chimes in... they came with the LSD.

and to switch from 1.5 to 2 way you need to open it and rearrange the clutch plates I believe.

Thanks a lot bud! If the diff comes already set to 60% then I should be good, I appreciate your reply.

My Nismo LSD came set to the middle setting (I forget the amount of lock-up). I had to have it adjusted to 60% myself, and that's still aggressive for the street.
