quaiffe = indestructable

kaaz = locking wheels around corners...causing the car to push badly...plus its noisy and your girlfriend will ask you what the hell is wrong with your car, plus its not as durable.

quaife or OEM ITR LSD...those are the only two lsd's worth considering...unless you drag the car...then you should consider a spool.

I've had no problems with my kazz, I like it because its a clutch type diff so you can change how much lock you get by alternating the clutch plate. No noise with mine and no locking

i guess gary peloquin disagrees with you: "Make no mistake, this
under $100 easy to install product is no substitute for
a $1,000-plus Torsional instalation. However, it's a great
alternitive for the person on a limited budget or the
racer in classes that do not allow a full-on limited slip
or special differentail." straight from the peloquin website. seems to be basically a Phantom Grip for VW's. now if you meant a Pankel differential ... that MAY be a slightly different story.

I still wonder how Viscous LSD's hold up..
They are found in Nissans.

Im surprised Nissan still uses viscous for the new 350z.
It must've held up pretty well.

i see a lot of misinformation about the kaaz LSD.... its a clutch based 1.5 way just like the mugen and ats... its not loud at all if you take care of it ...


the clutch based is a better lsd and ive had no problems with mine.. do a search on kaaz or lcutch based lsd's and get some more info

it depends how hardcore you are, the clutchtype handles and works a lot better IMO .. I use the KAAZ, Mugen, ATS, Cusco, Spoon, etc and all are fine if oyu can handle the noise and chatter ...

I agree with Cheetah! I've got the KAAZ too. And its definitely worth the $$$. I dont have the noises or any other issues with my KAAZ. KAAZ RULES!!!

If you're willing to service an LSD occasionally and know how to adjust the clutch packs to suit your activites, the Kaaz is for you. That's just not realistic for a daily driver or for someone who's not very comfortable breaking open the tranny from time to time.

I like to install it and forget about it, especially when it comes to tranny work. For that reason the Quaife is my choice.
