Oil temps from time attack

Shamu

Yep that's temp we got when I pulled into hot pit after 15 minutes on THill 400 on the dot. Ignorance isn't bliss! I use OS Giken fluid with OS Giken LSD it holds up remarkably well. And runs a little cooler but not much. During track days I would just run couple laps on couple laps off to manage heat. Even for time trails that worked for me. But guys who don't pay attention to rear diff heat are going to cook things nicely especially if they don't change fluid.

When I plan longer track days at hot tracks it will be my next mod but my sprints really don't stress rear diff too badly. Temps under 350 degrees mostly.

I see one main problems being lack of fluid capacity in stock diff. But cooler is mandatory for anyone running these cars seriously.
