ive heard much theory on how 2-way LSD's are hard to control under corner-entry (racing, not drifting) suffering from understeer. But for those who are actually using a 2-way, how doers it drive daily and on the race track? any comments and experience is welcome!thanks-Chris

Most of us have 1.5 way diffs like the J30 or a Z32 non turbo. The moderators who incidentally make money might be able to really help.

What are you talking about?

There are viscous and clutch type and helical available from nissan, depending on what car you want it from and if it is J, EU, or USDM spec.

The clutch type was available here in the USA and it came on the 87-89 300zx turbo non-SE version.

Never tried to ask. I would ask in the 240 gen chat or 240 technical.

What's IIRC... I see it a lot, but never asked because it wasn't pertaining to me. It's cool that the Z31 has the r200 as well, because when it comes to nissan's that are of use to me, there's about NONE. Z32s, 240sxs, and J30s are hard enough to find to buy, or to talk to someone who also has one, but them being in a junkyard is almost unheard of. I've seen a couple of Z31s, so maybe I can pull from that.
