First Track day with OS Giken LSD and extreme noise

This sounds more like an install issue than a diff issue. A few clutch plates should not generate that much heat to melt a bushing. Sounds like the gears were working way too hard.

Yep, I did the 10x figure 8 break-in first thing. I figured if it was good for other LSDs it couldn't hurt.

So Z1 is having me replace the melted Whiteline Bushing with their Z1 Solid Bushing. I have since replaced the fluid and added friction modifier per Z1. Next I will be taking back to the track and testing the temp after 8 laps as well as verifying it is even locking up.

Dude...

DIY Yaw Sensor rocker switch

Don't forget to do this! It's a big deal. It costs like $15.

Yep and always turn the vdc off. I hate it when I forget to do it as the F-ing nannies kick in even on hard acceleration.

Yeah, the car won't try to kill you any more.
