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.
