Does it really matter if it was installed on a KA-powered car? What kind of information are you looking for?

this is not a b18c5.. lsds mount in the rear. nismo (dealership) lsd is less aggressive compared to the other 2-way clutches such as kaaz, ats etc. but the nismo gt lsd is another story.

I have a kaaz 2way, Installing an lsd is not as hard as you think, it's just time consuming, just make sure put it back together like how you took it apart. don't mess with the pinion gear and you should be fine. clean up your diff cover (i just like it to because it looks nice) cleaning up the gasket will be a tuff cookie. here are a couple of pictures of mine. I would of done step by step but I wanted it done asap and didn't want to get my phone dirty.

is breaking in a clutch type lsd not the most rediculous thing you have ever done in your car? granted it was 4pm in the value city parking lot... but still. No need to stare people, nothing going on here but breaking in a diff.

Well, its IS the east coast... am I right, or am I right?

It's worse here in DE, they [strangers] will stare at you while you eat your meal at the local pizza place. Makes me want to go around punching some eyes out.

Oh I know. If anything, i'm surprised your car wasn't impounded/cops called. Because it would happen here no matter how far away you took it.

I was just lookin for a way to insert my disdain for my area.

you only have to break in clutch type lsd's, viscus and helical you don't. But generally you do 30min of figure 8's, then drain and replace the diff oil.
