I would love to know what your mechanic did to the VLSD. Inside the VLSD, it's filled with silicone fluid. The VLSD acts like a torque converter with the fluid acting like a transfer medium. Once the fluid gets hot. It loose that ability.

My opinion is that once you drop the diff and open it up. You're better off installing a proper LSD. Because you're already there. I have an OS Giken 1.5 way set to 70 percent lock. Held in place with a SPL solid diff bushing and a Bell diff brace.

Or that the underpart of the front bumper that we scratch the **** out of costs $250 more than the actual front bumper. That's either some seriously space-age plastic or Nissan giving the **** to the insurance companies.

I was on my 3rd one. Now I have a splitter to worry about.

How's the splitter doing after that physics demonstration last week? Never saw pics.

Never took pic's. The bolting under it shows some grinding. The splitter it's self doesn't have a mark on it that I could see.

Did you set the OS Giken LSD to 70% by yourself? I thought it comes with 100% lock only and can't be adjusted by ourselves unless sending back to OS Giken.

Mine came with 70% lock according Dealen at MAM.

You got me thinking now. I came across this. So was Dealen wrong on what he told me?

"Under racing conditions, the function of the LSD is to allow the drive wheels to apply equal traction under acceleration and deceleration. Our OS Giken Super Lock LSD is engineered to be extremely responsive to throttle input to give the driver full control over differential action. Our units are a negative preload design which allows for minimal lock when power is not delivered (turn in) and progressive maximum lock 100% on corner exit. Our unit is capable of controlling when 100% lock happens dependant on estimated power delivery and grip available (tires).

Through its innovative and patented design, up to twice as many friction plates are able to fit into the housing when compared to our competitors' products. This enables the OS Giken Super Lock LSD to achieve true 100% locking capability. Our LSD is also customizable by adjusting the spring inside the pressure ring to achieve progressive lock and allow high powered vehicles controllable lockup. Additionally, its superior design allows for excellent smoothness in regards to lock, virtually eliminating the “chatter” associated with other clutch type LSD brands."
