This. This is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for the detailed info! You've made my determination - I am getting this LSD, lol. Do you happen to also use a Nismo diff cover or the z1 diff cover? I may end up using a larger cover for more liquid as well as the z1 cover works with their z1 diff cooling kit. No worries if you don't I'll just call them... It just seems very hit or miss if I'll get a knowledgeable person or not when I call.
Either or is fine, I personally like Nismo. Z1 has a sale ongoing so perhaps you can snag a deal. Both Z1 and Nismo offer a cooling fan as well for the Z but unless you are doing extremely hard sessions ( if you don’t overheat brakes engine oil etc) then it’s pretty much mandatory. The diff puts in tons of work and I expect nothing less of it. I’m on the stock diff cover right now and temperatures are very good, but as I mentioned earlier if you do extremely hard sessions go grab Z1’s and see from there. Also i would like to say just in case that this LSD is only for Manual, I’m not sure if that’s what you have so just to clarify. Good luck on track and make some nice videos tooThis.

Yes sir, on a manual! Always good to double check. Much appreciated! I wasn't aware that Nismo has a diff cooler - I'll have to look that upEither or is fine, I personally like Nismo.

Following up on this, by factory brand new LSD do you mean the LSD in the Performance and Nismo? If so, Z1 motorsports just told me their LSD cover *only* fits the Sport model. I asked for more clarification... I am confused, but perhaps I got someone who isn't knowledgeable. I'm not even sure who would buy their diff cover for a Sport model (open diff).
The LSD itself is essentially a direct swap here are some photos : I'm sure the difference is noticeable, the biggest pro to this LSD is not only is it fantastic as was shown in the 2023-2024 super Taikyuu racing; but Nissan offers a warranty on it. It can fit the base sport, and performance. The diff cover z1 can also fit in, it's just a matter of liquid- I'm aware you came from a viscous type LSD and naturally the Clutch type here offers more ease in that sense. I have the stock diff cover, and it's a huge NOTE for the first 600-1000 miles. The car will jitter in extremely small parking lot turns and u turns, if you manage throttle input you'll be fine. The jitter will go away and what comes is like a light ringing with a slight engagement "knock" it's perfectly fine and normal as the LSD is aggressive. I would personally say I am knowledgeable for the most part upon this so if you have any more questions be free to ask.Following up on this, by factory brand new LSD do you mean the LSD in the Performance and Nismo?

EDIT:
Disregard, seems Z1 got a more knowledgeable person and/or I provided more clarity. Seems Z1 will work on the sport with other LSD.
Fantastic info and images, thank you! I'll try to be less concerned about the noises the new LSD will make lol. Are you running the Nismo competition fluid perhaps, the 75w140? I've seen people discuss using a friction modifier or something like that to help keep it quiet, what are your thoughts on that? While I don't have the LSD installed yet so I can't hear it, this won't be a daily driver so I think I might be able to manage without caring about the noises too much.The LSD itself is essentially a direct swap here are some photos : I'm sure the difference is noticeable, the biggest pro to this LSD is not only is it fantastic as was shown in the 2023-2024 super Taikyuu racing; but Nissan offers a warranty on it.

I'm using Factory Diff bushings as that's more than adequate, Nissan has always been like that. I use 75w140 without a friction modifier and it's quite quiet majority of the time besides the break in. Usually for the chassis reinforcements they are offering I wouldn't say they are needed since the car already has fresh bushings and is still metallurgy from 2024, I would only do that way further down the line. Having the Diff and diff cover should be fine. There was only noise for 600 miles and then it went away but you can hear when it engages. If you want to use a friction modifier then go ahead but in my experience it's been quite enough and I drive it often. I would only recommend from them the diff brace as of now since again the car is new and has more than enough of the support, chassis wise it's more then rigid; I would only go with the diff brace for now, but if you want to take advantage of the sale go get whatever.
