Review: 2way Tomei Technical Trax LSD

[drift into a curb]

I've had the Tomei unit in my car since March. I purchased this used already installed in the pumpkin, but here is an idea of what is included in the Tomei T-Trax LSD. (picture from jspec.com)

6 clutch plates per side, so 12 clutch plates total. The T-Trax Advance uses 10 plates per side, so that would be 20 total, 4 more than the Nismo SSS . Supposedly, the Advance clutch disks are specially surfaced treated and makes the differential real smooth. And because of that, the differential is really quiet. My T-Trax? The opposite, nice and loud.

If my interpretation of the Tomei website is correct, the T-Trax is 1.5/2way adjustable by changing the pressure ring.

After installing the pumpkin, (the person that installed it had it broken in professionally) it felt kind of funny after I broke it in the first time with the new fluid, so I did it again. I'm currently running Redline 75w-90. Probably going to switch to 80w-140 to see if there is any improvements on the track. The Tomei is pretty quiet for the most part as expected, but she does like to whine and skip on the low speed turns. The car is so much more confident and predictable on the corners at higher speeds.



If you haven't gotten in on the new rage, go get it now! LSD is the $hit.
