the fluid that fails in the stock lsd is the silicone fluid inside the sealed cartridge in the ring gear carrier (a little can in the very nuts-center of the diff) changing the 90w fluid will only...

Just curious. Since viscosity is a major factor for the stock LSD. Would it be safe to say changing the fluids every so often will keep from failing? Like oil changes. Maybe go with a thicker fluid....

The sport package is totally worth it. For ~$3000 more, you get syncro revmatch, 19'' wheels w/ tires, bigger brakes, VLSD, front lip, and a rear spoiler. Aftermarket wheels and brakes will cost...

Def worth it if you like to drive in the twisties. but like ChrisSlicks said, you could put a better unit than the stock sport one. Sinc eyou have to pay for the install anyway, I'd go that route and...

Torque sensing differentials can do that (Torsen for example). The Viscous unit uses perforated discs, rotating in fluid. The discs are stacked such that they alternate for the 2 output shafts, so...

A LSD is highly recommended for track use or spirited mountain driving. The OEM VLSD is decent for street use, but quicky overheats and turns to crap on the track. And because it is not a clutch...

Great advice. I am storing all this up for the future. I didn't ask about prices because I was afraid to, ha ha

Well I owned an 05 350 which means it was the 1st gen motor which we call the DE (03-05 DE, 06 Revup, and I believe 07-08 HR). With that said I had the slowest generation of the Z's with only 287HP....

Thanks for the reply and it makes sense. Your assumption that I didn't see the value in the limited slip is mistaken. It would have meant buying the sport model and I couldn't afford the price...

Thanks for a great reply. That really helps me as I am trying to decide what mods I will go to eventually. I have to deal with snow and ice (no choice for now) and I like to drive on really twisty...

My 350Z didn't have LSD, and now I have it on my 370. You can't tell the difference in normal daily driving. I would say that the car feels a lot better on hard launches and cornering, but the 370...

Worth it? Of course it is. The difference from one wheel drive to 2 is pretty significant. As one rear wheel begins to slip, the other is engaged through a viscous coupling (sport package...
