Thank god Jeff sold me as slightly used stock VLS for less than $200, cause I just paid $400 labor +$400 in parts to install it. I should have waited for the Nismo, oh well.

I will find out for sure. I was told after the break in to do it every 30K would be fine? I'm sure someone here will have the correct answer.

raceboy - I need to try and find of pic internally of the NISMO LSD to see for myself - I was abit premature to jump the gun, as its what my suppliers in Japan had told me, but they could certainly be wrong

At 60% is this modification noticeable in normal driving? I'm using my base model as a daily driver, so I'd like to upgrade to LSD, but without my wheels hopping and acting strange when I'm not driving "spiritedly". Please post how 60% goes for laid back driving.

My Cusco type RS goes in of Thurs(finally!) I will also be setting it for 60%. I would have bought the NISMO one, but at the time, I didn't even know the NISMO one was coming any time soon.

Just an update.... Finally had the time to reset the diff to 60%. All the funny popping and wheel dragging in the parking lot are gone and it still hooks up strong when you hammer the throttle. This is the perfect street setting. Anything more than that was just too much for a street car.

The Z and both G's are the same part for part on the drivelines, non LSD's are the same and LSD are the same. Only difference's are a function of the different wheelbase, their the Z get's the trick drive shaft.
