370Z Factory LSD: This thing is worse than I remembered

SPOHN · 04-10-2011, 05:08 PM

Boy this thread got brought back. But I'm going tomorrow to Forged to get my OS Giken installed. Boy I can't wait from all the things I've read. I've never owned a car with a more than sub-par LSD. Now with my suspension, brakes, and now this I'll be set for the twisties and track.

Let us know how you like it. I'm looking to upgrade my open diff, and having a hard time deciding what would be best for me.

I'm defiantly going to have a review. I'm so tired of a open diff. That's all I had on my 350 and it was FI also. Stupid mistake.I've learned some hard lessons from wreaking my last one.

But from my search the OSG is the way to go in every way. I'm also getting a tune tomorrow. I hope some more than average things can come from this.

I'm just curious, why do you think it's the clear choice over a Quaife? Especially now that the Quaife's are under a grand shipped.. it's hard to justify anything else for myself since it's a daily and I don't track my car much.

The Quaife has a very different feel to it. Some like it and some don't. For track use if you lift an inside wheel, such over some curbing or elevation changes the differential essentially becomes an open diff once again. Locking style LSD's provide uniform thrust potential from each tire, after corner entry once you come back to power. This not only inspires a lot of confidence but also allows the driver to come in power earlier than with an convention LSD or open differential.

All you shush about the GT-R...haha...I've actually been spending more time in the GT3, which also happens to have an OSG differential.
