Which Diff?

All I can say is there is a 100% night and day difference between a Z with an open diff and one with a properly setup aftermarket LSD. To date,

Z1, do you know if any of those diff's you mentioned do not require the side shaft set from Nissan to make it fit? I thought it was easier putting an aftermarket diff in with the non-sports package z's.

exactly..diff, suspension and tires are the 3 things that are really important to me. All the other stuff anyone can do blind folded. And of course engine upgrades are the very close second.
Basically read as many forums as u can or reviews as you can. and even look up videos before you invest in stuff. u can find a lot under video comments or just by hearing and seeing the part in actual use
