S15 HLSD Diff question, yes I've searched. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I've searched and read just about everything I can find on the S15 Type R HLSD Diff compared to other diffs including the VLSD 180SX diff; and a stock S13 welded diff.

Currently I'm running the OEM 180sx VLSD. From what I've read the S15 HLSD would offer the best GRIP as far as diffs are concerned. Is that true?

For example, I'm running 400whp with a VLSD. Lets say I keep all things equal and just switch the diff to a S15 HLSD. Are the gains in traction going to be noticeable? I'm on the fence about buying a S15 HLSD and my goal is MAXIMUM grip from an LSD. Bottom line is would the S15 HLSD give me that? Thanks for any input!
