Anyone with OS Giken LSD?

ok, so it looks like i'll need at least a replacement shaft. is this a dealer item or do you have those, z1? and how much? what about the price for the bearing/ seal package?

i assume the "default setting" would be 1.5 way/ full lock plate config./ and highest initial break away torque for the cone springs, correct? i'm looking for less than full lock... maybe around 80%, which would be 1 set of plates in the "de-activated" configuration? the full lock would be great for drift/ drag, but not ideal for grip as it would induce understeer on throttle.


B1nks, did you do the install yourself? how was it? i did the lsd install on my miata with the help of a friend, but it was not easy. i'm thinking of having a shop do it on the z, unless someone can tell me it's not too bad.

F**********ck no I didn't do that myself ! Haha I can do some basic stuff but this is a no go on the self do list. The full lock will not be for drifting because it's 1.5 way and does not full lock up on corner entry. If you feel you get too much understeer then counter with sway bars and alignment ! I haven't noticed any understeer added and if there is it's VERY minor but it's so minor that adjusting it with sways or simply powering out would appear to be a simple adjustment.

Also Z1 should have those half shafts you're going to need, if they don't some vendor on here should.
