However, once the outside tire has been engaged and its speed becoming closer to the inside, the VLSD turns to "a relaxed state" and the limiting property drops sharply allowing the inside tire to gain speed again. Repeat that about 6-7x during a long sweeper at an autox. It's frustrating.

Clutch-type LSD has a couple clutch packs which are already locked at zero speed difference. It still allows some slip, but it's already loaded from the getgo.
Well I do have Nissan embroidered across the surface so that makes me think I have fixed calipers. And I see. Now youre making me second guess my decision. I'll have to do some more research.
