Default NISMO LSD Lock-Up

When "running" a NISMO LSD, what Lock-Up Setting did you set-up your Diff. to? Low - Medium - or High?? ...and are the settings 50%, 70% and 100??

60, 80 and 100% is what I thought too but the NISMO Booklet show Initial Torque Values at 50.6, 68.7 and 101.0. It also shows Low, Mid and High.
I'm a little confused on these Values...

The Nismo GT LSD is a 1.5 way (upgradeable to 2 way) limited slip differential designed to provide maximum traction that is most often lost in hard off-the-line acceleration. The unit will sense when one wheel starts losing traction due to track/road conditions, hard cornering, and/or torque steer. Once it detects the slippage, it will compensate by shuffling the power from side to side to overcome the loss of traction. This translates into better track or quarter mile times, and more efficient use of the engines power. On the 350Z/G35 the rear LSD is adjustable in 60%, 80%, and 100% lockup mode. This LSD is VCD compatible (although you will have to turn VCD off to enjoy the full benefits).

The more the casing expands, the more clutches contact each other, hence the more the output shafts get locked into the same rotation. Some manufacturers produce adjustable clutch limited slip differentials whereby you may set a breakaway torque level. Resultantly, the clutch discs are moved closer together or further apart to dictate the SOFT, MED, or HARD setting. The closer the clutch plates are to each other, the more readily the output shafts--thus the wheels--will spin in sync.
