its a nice set up too run for street use, but if your going too going too do a lot of TOUGE or track drifting get a Diff cooler set up. One of my customers picked 1 up from me.

Oh boy here we go again !
its dependent on each persons thoughts or blind hatetred.

but if you want your diff too last longer its better too run a diff cooler sure you can run with out one but each case is differnt. much rather run one then not if your planning on keeping for a long time run a diff cooler but if not who cares.

mm considering friends overseas w/ 2+ years on the same diff
if you change your oils often, run a good weight then you wont face problems

mine has had no problms, neither have friends
overtime a rebuild is always in order, cooler or not

Those are 2 situations in which you most likely WON'T need an oil cooler for your diff. I would suggest it for a vehicle used in endurance races but not drift or mountain driving. I've had my diff for about a year now and done about 8 or 9 drift/track events, a shitload of canyon driving as well as canyon drifting and have never burned my oil. I have changed my diff oil before every event and it's always golden yellow with a hint of green from the diff additive I always put in. Oil cooler for a diff in a drift car is SUPER OVERKILL in my opinion. Like dousan said, clutch packed diffs eventually go out over time. Change your oil after every event and it will last a long time. My tomei 2 way has been engaging the same from the first day I installed it.

^ fly bert what diff oil do you use and what additive?

[theicecreamdan]

what about just welding some heat soak fins onto the stock diff cover?

and I would think that a diff that was "burning" oil has very serious problems.

Pros:
very quiet, and locks pretty good for the most part. Can use synthetic oil like redline with additive already built in to it, so theres no need for additional additive.

Cons:
shitty tires mean chirping alot when making turns (I'm pretty sure this applies to all lsds). Just get better tires adn problem solved. Causes extreme addiction to driving and won't let you get other things done. Makes you want to throttle the gas hard coming around every corner. Other than that, none really.

Enjoy the nismo, or any lsd for that matter. It has 12 clutch plates (or 16 in dousan's case) which is alot better than open diff and vlsd. You cant go wrong.

and when the car is cold aka all fluids are cold, nismo lsd will be louder initially, but will get quiet once the fluid has warmed up 80w90/140 should be used. MrMigs spoke to a nismo technician, and they stated to use non-synthetic over synthetic for longevity, whether that is opinionated or factual, it does hold some weight considering a nismo technician. *Tears* during break-in, so much popping and clunking, i was so happy, then i changed the fluid and it got quiet. correct me if im wrong but i heard if you run 80w140 the clutch plates will engage harder.

Dousan do you know if they have released rebuild kits yet. I want to sandwich in more plates eventually by end of summer
