in my eyes diff oil should be around engine oil temp or else it will prob break down really fast. ive been told thats 260*. Doran told me once they get up to 300* within 3 laps. now they only race for 45min and im sure they replace after each race. guys like Megan have blown 2 oem diffs up and i bet thats the reason. he races hard and only now after i did mine did he buy parts to do a custom diff cooler. regardless of when the oil starts to break down, i wanted a diff cooler to see if i could race on the VLSD and have it perform. we all know it goes to sh*t when i gets to hot so if i can track at about 240* it might not be a bad LSD to use. but if its 300* like Doran or Megan, then it becomes an open diff and usless.

im sure one could be. since its an hour long pump and track days are 20min at a time, i have it wired to a switch and on with the car on. ill just leave the switch on and never worry about turning it off till i head home. ive let the car sit for hours and the diff NEVER cools down. that 100lbs hunk of iron keeps heat for a long *** time! only in the winter do i notice it takes a long time to reach any heat over 160-170*.
Hmm. That's the engine oil ball park. Sounds like a 200* F thermostatic plate would be ideal, it it can be incorporated easily enough.

I wonder how effective the Nismo finned diff cover is.
