I seriously don't see the logic on putting a VLSD on any sports car. Specifically one that is likely going to see track use. Time to shove in a nice clutch type.

At least they are making it known about the oil temp issue and the diff issue.....maybe nissan will give us the oil cooler if more articles are wrote about it

Just because Nissan admits it doesn't mean they'll do jack about it.

It's not just the NISMO it's the 370z period. A few here already had it happen.

It's becoming a bit rediculous now, especially promoting a TRACK-ORIENTED car without adequate cooling and now rear diff. Looks like to keep the costs down they really skimped out on a few key areas, at least for a sports-car.

God, I hope I don't get burned on this car like I did when I purchased a brand new Sentra SE-R Spec-V back in 2002. That car was the worst car ever made by Nissan and a huge disappointment. Everytime I see one on the road (which isn't often since few are still running) I vomit. |

I agree that the LSD should have been built a little stronger, though. 135i owners are finding out that their Brembo brake calipers crack severely (requiring complete replacement) under hard braking at the track. |
