Default base rear end

I have a ?. In the base model the car doesn't come with lsd. A friend of mine is going Greddy tt but has a base. He wants to go lsd but was to buy some time. How well is the stock no lsd rear end?

With that much power going to an open diff. it'll just do one-wheel burnouts. A.K.A. pegleg burnouts.
Its also harder to break loose in corners or power out of turns.
Get the LSD.

I got a stock viscous LSD from www.car-part.com for $300. You should eventually get a clutch type LSD like the KAAZ or NISMO because there is no way to get the power to the ground with the stock open diff. Look under CARRIER on car-part to find a used one.

The Nismo LSD is $850 and the install was around $400 I think. I had it done at Performance Nissan.
