LACK of an LSD was the cause. You'd don't have LSD.

Not exactly identical but yes they will be the same. VLSD (which is what most Nissan LSDs are) uses a fluid, once one wheels spins enough the fluid sort of seizes up, making the other axle spin the same. If anyone else can explain this better, (I know you guys can) please do.
