ok i was looking for this thread recently and glad i found it. Ok i had the quaife and i'll clear up some instal stuff. The viscous replacement you do have to cut the longer stub shaft down because it doesn't fit. what makes it different from the base model quaife is that the c-clip that holds either the cut down vlsd stub or the base stub is in different spots, so even though after cutting it is the same length as a base stub the c-clip will still be in a different spot. ok next i have a question on the OS Giken it would seem from looking at the center parts that it is more of a 1.75 way, does it feel harsher on decel than a normal 1 or 1.5 way lock up?

Also the quaife does not be have well after you pull one wheel into the air, as this is paramount to it's design i have heard of guys removing or weakening the rear sway bar and stiffening the rear springs instead while increasing down travel to keep the rear wheels on the ground in all situations. <not to be done by an amateur or your most likely putting it in the grass/wall. the z also has brake differential assist which actually makes the quaife even more effective.
