interesting, because when I asked about the LSD today, I was told the exact opposite - that it's designed for cars with factory LSD

It looks like Quaife has 2 difs for the Z/G. QDF11L for the Open Dif, and QDF13L for the VLSD. Is the QDF13L a direct drop in for the VLSD owners? I don't want to spend $500ish for extra parts if I don't need to.

Thanks,

Ian

spoke to Quaife and they do now have a drop in diff for cars that have VLSD - lead time if ordered now is about 2.5 weeks

still waiting to hear back from OS Giken BTW guys, I'll post with the info I hear. If I had to guess, I would say that like most diffs, it's designed for cars with factory VLSD already, but will know more as soon as they reply - I don't want to add it to our site before knowing 100% for sure what is/is not required

I think your review has sold me on a Cusco RS, Adam. I really need a quality LSD for my car, after 66k I am pretty sure my VLSD is about dead

The Nismo LSD is also a direct drop in for the open diff since it comes with the output shafts. Personally I have the Quaife and love it. Perfect for me since my car spends most of its time on road.

Z1 performance-can you explain on which lock-up rate would be good for what condition/type of driving when purchasing an LSD? im thinking about getting a cusco rs from you guys later down the line. thanks!
