Nice. For the typical driver, the type-RS is the one to have as it's better suited for the street.

I'm also looking forward to the Quaife LSD for the 370Z.

Hopefully OS Giken has diffs on the way as well.

Clutch type, with LOTS of friction disks.

Check this out, it's from the English Cusco site, good breakdown of the RS and MZ type LSD:

Aftermarket diffs will always be clutch or gear type.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's the difference?

Didn't want to paste the entire thing...

Very confusing. No description of the Hybrid Diff either. I'm guessing a 1.5way RS would be the most desirable for street use/abuse. At least until I hear different.

For street/mild track use I personally prefer a helical type like the ones from Quaife because they don't chatter and lurch like clutch type LSDs do, although the traditional 1.5 way clutch type is still king of the road course.

RCZ	01-21-2009 10:09 PM

Quaife for me....

We handle cusco parts here at GT Motoring, so i contacted them about the 370Z differentials the other day. They are the same unit as sold for the 350Z. They are also currently guessing that the base model car will require some of the LSD model car parts to let the LSD install properly. They have not yet test fit in the USA though.
