Thanks for the Support everyone! Hope you guys like my Daily Just as much as I do, I will be building a track car, but first things first the new daily must look good perform well, and then i gotta make more money to build a track monster.

My shop is only a little over a year in business, but make no mistake I have knowledge, tools, and motivation to compete with some of the Best shops around. I originated from the Twin Turbo 300ZX, and 240SX forums, but now i am moving on to a newer better chassis / market.

Yeah, Nismos are Discontinued, Kaaz is way too loud for my preference, I did take in consideration the Quaife Helical, but the fact that if i get the car up on 3 wheels it'll peg leg, kind of makes me think twice (and the fact that i haven't driven a Helical LSD equipped Z33 / 240sx at the track.) I have been looking at the ATS Carbon LSD and i am still dong research on them anyone have input on it?

I remember reading about a "Silent" LSD in a Modified mag or Import Tuner etc... sounded like a good option to consider. Don't remember the make, I just know the name had "silent" in it. Maybe someone can chime in.

With the right fluid, the Cusco is not loud whatsoever. I've had it in my car for over 4 years now, and it is not even remotely intrusive

NISMO LSD is not discontinued either We have them

The carbon LSD's are good units - downsides are their frequent oil change requirements and lack of adjustability though
