oh, I meant how wide are they?

what whp are you putting down?

because you have no LSD at all, I'd go so far as to say that's your weakest link in your setup, unless your tires aren't very wide

nismo is good

cusco RS is smoother

cusco MZ is pretty much the nismo one

ATS is most expensive, possibly best - at least for street

there's others too

I have the Nismo LSD and yes it is great for straight line power delivery and drifting. However if you want something that can do a Road Course look at the ATS or Cusco RS.

Does the Touring model come with any sort of LSD? If so, should this be upgraded to an aftermarket set up?

all Z's come with VLSD except the base model.

should it be upgraded? I dunno, depends on if you don't get much traction

I have a base model so I had to get a diff and the Nismo happened to be the most cost effective. If you have the stock diff as long as it is holding your current power level let it be. If you are going for 600 plus sure think about a switch.

he stated he has a base model, that means he didn't get the lsd. also, on a side note, the vlsd can be overcome with as little as 280hp when drifting, and wears out pretty quickly. not that this is a thread about drifting, just that the vsld kinda sucks.

the nismo is the only one that fits the base model without the need for extra parts that don't come with the diff. the stub shafts going into the diff.

it is a very clunky diff at low speeds in parking lots.
