its an LSD.

dropped the pumpkin the other night, it's at a rear end shop getting the wavetrac, new bearings/seals, nismo cover installed . the diff is surprisingly VERY easy to remove once you get to it...have to remove the rear braces, rear sway, and exhaust. the center driveshaft is a simple 6 bolts that you can easily reach by spinning one of the rear wheels. same goes for the axles!

Drove the Z to V day dinner in 6 degrees last night, it was the first time she moved in a few weeks. Oh do I miss driving it more than 1-2 days a month.

diff is all buttoned back up and found an exhaust leak on the ark's resonators that are above the main muffler. had it welded back at a local shop so it delayed me from starting the car up. first impressions of the new diff...feels a little weird on hard corners, its alot more controlled than before! i hit a corner with a slight uphill/dip where i can usually get some slight rear lifting, and it performed beautifully. once the right wheel hit the ground i heard some tire squeal. eat my traction, quaife!

wavetrac! its an ATB type diff. similar to a quaife, except the wavetrac has an improved design which allows the car to still have traction where the quaife becomes an open diff - when a single wheel is in the air, and on deceleration. it used to be that nissan/nismo was the only distributor, but vividracing is an authorized disti as well. hit em up if you're interested. i think im the first one to put one into the 370
