I have seen many posted about all these makes. Everyone seems to like them all. Which one would you go with if you had a +500rwhp Z used for drag racing?

 

a ford 9 inch. and lose the IRS.

 

Why do you want a diff for a drag only car? Just have the diff welded. Cheaper, no chance of power transfer issues, lighter than an LSD.

However if you want to drive the car and turn every on and again. Cusco. Can be setup in 2 diff configs and multiple levels of lockup.

 

The car is still going to be a street driven car. Just need something stronger than the factory unit.

 

os giken has a really good LSD- i'm waiting for their Z33 application...

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

The nice thing about the Nismo unit is it's a complete kit. Click the link and there is a nice picture there as well... http://www.performancenissanparts.co...products_id=59

 

Active Traction Service (ATS) makes a brilliant carbon LSD

 

I did the KAAZ 2 way in my car and am extremely pleased with it. It is a little noisy at the 60% lock configuration but it absolutely changes the way you can deliver power in the corners.

 

OS Giken does have a version for the 350Z!

 

Have you actually driven a car w/ the ATS carbon lsd? I'd like to hear your opinion. In theroy it sounds good, just curious if it lives up to the claims.

 

Don't forget Tomei has a LSD for the Z as well.

 

im trying to get Tadashi to hook it up for me
bling bling

OS giken is down the street from Technosquare heheh

 

is nismo the only company that actually gives you everything you need? and what company did nismo use this time?

 

If your talking about doing a install into a base non lsd equipped car, yes they are the only one that offers all the parts you require. But not very many people are up to speed on base install's. Doing the stock LSD swap like I did requires all the same parts and work that installing a clutch type does.

 

is the nismo a clutch-type?

 

I trust Kaaz, but the adjustability of Nismo is a definite plus.

In the end I'll be waiting for an OS Giken. By waiting for it, I mean waiting till I can afford it. Or waiting till I need it. Or waiting till I pull my credit card out of my wallet.

I have a base, so I have to get a substantial amount of other parts if I get the OS diff.

 

Yes, those parts are, new stub axles, part numbers 38220-AR011 and 38220-AR010. 2 Oil Seals ment for a stock limited slip equipped diff part number 38342-P9010 And 2 Differential Bearing assemblies, also ment for a limited slip
equipped diff part number 38440-0C000. (Totals very close to $400)

 

Yes, all aftermarket LSD's are at this time. No gear types on the horizon.

 

I'm hoping for a quaife torsen-type unit.. but I won't be ready to upgrade for quite a while.
