I'm on stock shocks, tien spring kit, and factory LCD. It does decent in the 60ft, but not so will in corners. Unless you're aiming towards some performance goal they're no need to change LSD. Just my opinion.

Maintenance I did Nismo Diff cover, vent line, rear end bushings, and better grade fluid.
Good preventative maintenance stuff there, but I doubt I will ever be on the drag strip. I will get it on on a great road or an actual road course.

I would like to replace the VLSD with an aftermarket unit, but I haven't felt the need up to this point.

I tend to call that piggy bank the "oh ****" fund. If you engineer or over-engineer your build to handle or surpass a performance level AND you still have major issues, it was just meant to be. I had major issues when I built for a specific performance goal. I should have built for a goal that fell withing a range instead. I have also purchased things more than once because I didn't get the quality part and it broke (and usually took things with it) or I didn't get what suited my performance need / driving style. Either way, I learned my lesson a long time ago on vehicles from the same era of early fuel injection.
