LSD on Sport Package

TerribleONE · 08-24-2013, 03:34 PM

Even though it is leaps and bounds better than the open diff, it is still not a great unit.. I know on my G37 (I have a non-sport Z with a OSG LSD) I would still get the inside tire to slip while pushing it really hard, and occasionally get engagement. For the average driver though the stock VLSD is pretty good..

The only way an open diff is better, is that it might be easier to swap in another unit & don't kid yourself, those super tight clutch packed units burn out too. I know when mine starts going, I'll be looking for a torsion type unit (Quaife)

Thats the problem i am having with my Carbonetics, constant need of rebuild. Ive had it on the car for 30k miles, id say 200 of which are track/hard use. I have had to get it reshimmed twice and now im fairly sure it needs a full rebuild. Mind you this is with me changing fluid religiously every 3k miles or After a track/race event. Install and work was done by SSA in Houston so i know it wasnt me f-in anything up.

The last service,my service centre changed the rear Diff oil,i think they used the wrong type of oil,it became an "Open Diff",just last week,i changed to "Cusco VLSD" Gear oil.....the feeling are not the same,esp power during conering..
