What are you going to Do/Improve on your Z over the Winter?
Robbie, are you sure a +0 won't stick out? That one dude that came into Dave's shop with a +1 offset on his set of HRE's had those suckers sticking out like a sore thumb and had to immediately list them for sale the following week. I think Dave even tried to sell it for him, should be in one of the old threads.
Chris... another engine?
Eclipse - buy Driven1's dual 8" TV setup, its pretty sweet.

The car has been down since just after ZdayZ last year. I let it sit and spit on it twice a day when I paased by it in the garage and then jtgli and myself pulled the engine and disassembled everything. I have been buying things one at a time and am LOWLY putting things back together again. I just got the oil pump and the shop manual on CD this week.
Anybody have some good TQ wrenches I can borrow for a while?

i already have a homelink rearview mirror ready to be etched.
let me know.
If you're serious PM or FB me. I've been in contact with someone for a while now and mine just came in the mail this week. Just waiting to get the V1 unit and get the whole thing installed next spring.
FYI, the nismo is a 2-way if that's what you're looking for. It's a solid piece of gear that should do everything you want. I have an OS Giken 1.5 which I love very much but I would've been happier with a 2-way.
I thought the Nismo was adjustable 1.5 or 2 way. I have heard the Nismo is noisy but for the right price, I can live with it. It's a weekend/track car anyway.
60% to a 100% as stated. Good fluid can help with the noise. My OS has Motul PA90 and a nis diff cover. I have 0 noise issues... granted I just had it installed appx 2-3 weeks ago

If you are looking for the best overall LSD OS Giken is it (besides the drexler(sp?), but it is over 3 grand). Their clutch is the loudest (mechanical noise) I have heard....I know it's in my car....but the LSD is very smooth with little to know mechanical noise. The nismo is going to be louder.....if it is a play toy and not something you have to live with daily....it will be more than sufficient on track. The OS is faster though....however....you are probably talking tenths of a second on something like summit main. Unless you are a National level time trial guy those tenths are probably not worth the 60% extra cost.
I am going to put one of the two in my track car this winter....I was limited to the stock VLSD per class rules for a while, but the bump up in class allows me the aftermarket LSD.
Since I seem to do much more autocross of late I will probably put in the OSG....it is a proven winner at the national level....
For reference the 350z's in club racing (T2&T3) use the Nismo LSD. If you want to get an idea of what that unit can handle....
