If you are looking for 1 or 2 seconds go turbo. But dont bother with the final drive if you are not upgrading the diff to the OS Giken. The OS Giken is sick. I have only had it on the car for 3 days and have yet to get the back end to step out. I have taken my car to places where I typically break traction...I have been stunned at the massive amount of grip the car has now.
Woot he said above is correct. I've been stating it for years as well.

Anyway, Get the GIKEN (D-NB102061405-S) LSD over a lower final drive. But as others have already stated, why not do the final drive while installing the LSD? You say you ain't got the money for a good LSD, but want to buy a turbo kit

Here's my list on building a R200V. You'll find the Nissan part numbers for the final drives on 8.

I can get my rear end to kick out very slightly power shifting 2nd and 3rd even
with my solid AL rear diff mounts. I'm slightly over stock rwhp but still on the OEM sh!+ tires.
