I have a Nismo 1.5 way with all clutches engaged and I am using the OS Giken fluid with it. It is an.....interesting drive when it comes to roundabouts (of which there are a ton here). I have been considering dropping the diff to deactivate one clutch on each side as it is still pretty noticeable trying to part throttle through a turn.

The OS Giken fluid did calm it down considerably, before it was like gun shots out back and don't even think about driving it 2 way on the street.

When I put the hammer down though, it's awesome.

You think the Nismo unit is interesting on the street. Ever drive a vehicle with a Detroit Lock in it? It can be down right scary at first. Going into and coming out of corners. It will bang and clang, and wiggle the rear. Mid corner. Lift off the gas, and it will pull the front towards the inside. Step on the gas and it will push the front towards the outside.

Yeah I've driven an old f150 with a mechanical locker years ago and THAT was an experience The Nismo diff in 2 way and 85w140 was probably 80% as bad as that was

With the Detroit Locker. The shorter the wheelbase, the worse it is. I had one in a 1990 6ft bed regular cab Hardbody with the 3L V6 5 speed. Also had a Quaffie LSD in the front. Offroad, that truck went everywhere. I would still have it, if it didn't rust out.
