I know LSD's have been discussed a lot, but I don't feel i've gotten a straight answer to this question.
I'm wondering which LSD will provide me with a medium between the features of different LSD's.
1. Good Drag launches
2. making the rear end lock easier... but not lock so easy that incase of rain, horrible conditions on the road and whatever else can happen thats not planned for. Another words, I want to have to put a little effort in to lock it
3. the car will handle slightly better on a road course/auto crossing.
I know that the 2 different types, clutch type like kaaz/cusco/tomei are great for drifting, but im afraid they'll lock to quick. Im afraid that it'll lock when I don't want it to, say in the rain while taking a turn.
The quafie is good for road racing or track (grip) i've heard.
I kinda want the best of both worlds...or some type of medium where the rear doesn't lock too fast but locks when i want it to.
I found this one phase2's website, i think it might be my answer, it doesn't have as many clutch plates(16 like the kaaz) but it looks like it'll be better than a vlsd
Nismo clutch type "street" limited slip differential kit for all 1989-98 240SX equipped with OE open diff or VLSD from the factory. Nismo LSD drops right into diff pumpkin with no modifications, uses existing output shafts, LSD is set at 70 lb-ft breakaway torque from Nismo, comes with diff fluid, new bearings, diff cover gasket, and output flange seals. Everything you need to install the LSD into your 240SX! Please change the diff fluid after break in.
Each side of the diff comes with:
2 friction plates
2 friction discs
1 spring disc
1 spring plate
Some people found this Nismo units to be fairly quiet, and doesn't make much noise as compared to the Kaaz Unit. However for persistent race use and drifting, the KAAZ unit is a superior unit over Nismo.
