It should be a 1.5way considering this
Here's what i got from the dude at OS GIKEN its not much but its a start
"Dear Joseph,
Our OS Giken Super Lock LSDs do not make any noticeable
differential chatter in their off the self (Spec-S, 1.5way) settings.
Our Spec-X 2way setting units are available by special order or
available as an after-service through select dealers, who for a fee
can tune your OS Giken Super Lock LSD for particular type of
race. Spec-X type units that have been tuned with a high amount
of initial torque will produce significant amount of noise and differential
chatter.
Unless you intend to use your car for professional drift, we recommend
that you use the Spec-S, as it is a true all-rounder.
Oil Seals and side bearing should be readily available through your
Nissan Dealer or authorized technical shop.
Thank you for your e-mail and interest
in OS Giken Products.
Our LSDs come standard in 1.5 way for FR vehicles and
1.1 way for FF vehicles. 2 way versions are available only
at
special request.
For the 2005 Nissan 350Z with an open differential,
it will be a direct swap. Please be sure to take the
opportunity to use new oil seals and bearings.
If you would like help finding a authorized dealer or
qualified installer, please feel free to respond to me
for further assistance.
Best Regards,
Sean Fenstermacher

Saw this in the paper this morning - anybody know the victim?
http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/38285834.html
A Hammond man died in a wreck on Highland Road early Saturday morning, the Baton Rouge Police Department reported.
Timothy Pounce, 26, was fatally injured in the 7900 block of Highland Road around 2:50 a.m., a police spokesman, L’Jean McKneely, said in a news release. Pounce somehow lost control of his 2008 Nissan 350Z. The vehicle hit an embankment and began to roll.
Pounce, 1313 M.C. Moore Road, was pronounced dead at the scene, McKneely said.
Pounce’s 19-year-old passenger was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries, McKneely said.

The worst night!
So it all started when we left Harrah's!
I got on the I-10 and started playing with another Z. The road was wet and traction was little. So I get on it a little too hard one time and start to fish tail a little bit. I quickly let off the gas and regain control but not before a Cop notices and begins to pull me over. We sat on side of the highway for 6-7 minutes and he never even got out of his car. Then he just took off and left me sitting there. I thought "this is the luckiest day of my life."
Still heading towards Baton Rouge on I-10 right after the Nola Airport exit, I see I'm coming up on a wreck and I'm THE FIRST CAR THERE. I stop in the left lane (cars and debris scattered the right one) and turned on my flashers. I jump out and run to the first car to find it empty. As I run to the next car I see 3 guys walking back yelling everything is ok, they called the police, and I should try to drive around it all and go home. Ok fine. I get to the hood of my car just in time for a fourth car to come crashing into the back of mine at about 65mph. I literally JUMPED on the hood of my car as they hit it and it was coming straight at me and almost fell off and over the bridge as it crashed into the side wall.
My gf was sitting on the passenger side and never even knew what hit her. She was ok though, just scared and crying alot. No one was hurt actually.
The cops sited me for (stopping on a highway) and causing the second accident. Even I stopped to render aid and had my damn flashers ON and the debris ****ing blocked me from passing.
I'm gonna find a good lawyer tomorrow... My Z is totaled!!!
I'll be parting it all out as soon as I get a green light from my insurance company. Look at my list of mods and claim what you want to. I will post pics soon.........
