I bought an open diff 2 way for my factory VLSD car
Got a great deal on a Tomei 2way. It is the version made for the open diff base models.
My car is a factory VLSD 6MT. What do I need to make sure they work together? Will I have any issues? |

double check which stub axles the Tomei lsd needs. Open diff stub axles are different lengths than VLSD stub axles.

When I bought an OS Giken LSD for my 6spd manual Z, which had the viscous LSD from factory, I also had to buy an additional axle for the left side of the car, that was slightly shorter than the one that I had in my car. I guess it's something similar for Tomei - just check what exactly you need. Replacing the axle is a non-job, as you need to remove axles from the diff housing anyway when you're installing the LSD, so you'll just replace the axle with the other one.
I suggest you shoot an e-mail to the Tomei distributer and ask them what do you need in addition to the LSD, to make it work with the factory VLSD 6spd car.
