I'm sick of people not realizing the benefits of an LSD(Limited Slip Differential)
I have a handfull of dudes ready to get down on it. But that's not enough.
I need at least 20 dudes to go down with me to get this started with Cattman, and it's about 1200 bucks, Kazz LSD. (QUALITY).
You guys need to stop reposting on HID's, cold air intakes and body kits, ect...
With all the money you spend on this worthless $hit, you really might as well spend it on a true performance modification.
Peace.

 

Maximeltman,

First of all calm down alittle I understand your pain, not alot of people understand the benefits of having a LSD. But my question to you is why in the world would anyone invest in a LSD if it's not either a factory unit already installed in a replacement tranny (stock I30) or not a Quaife??? Personnally I wouldn't spend a dime on a aftermarket LSD if it wasn't a Quaife especially if I wasn't having a traction problem. Anyone who thinks there product compares to a Quaife is on crack there design is unparalleled. I think the problem with the people who do understand the benefits of a LSD reconized the fact that if they can't have a factory trans already installed with a VLSD they would rather save up & do it right buy purchasing a Quaife. They usually don't want to risk spending big dollars on something that isn't battle tested so to speak. Stock units obviously aren't the strongest of the lot but they must be pretty strong & pretty reliable for the factory to put them in there vehicles. No manufacturer wants to deal with the headache of unhappy customers wanting to no why they have problems with there transmissions? So it's my feelings that for most it's either factory unit or Quaife. Just my 2 penny's.......

 

performance aint everything cars gotta look good too

 

not everyone has $1000 to spend on an lsd. And it really won't help unless your making serious power. I mean it will help but it will be 10 times better with a car with something more than stock power.

 

Exactly.

Why did you expect that people here wouldn't have a problem with throwing down that much money on something that doesn't really give you gains? I think getting 10 people for a group deal would have been better due to the pricing also.
Just keep in mind that most people don't care about LSD's much because unless they're laying down some serious HP to keep the tires gripping. NA, people won't bother much with it.

 

Work on your thread titles, Yo.

 

Maybe something like...
Yo mama needs LSD.

 

Was he on LSD when he wrote this? j/k LSD is great but again not for every one. I'm sure they are enough ppl for a group buy tho.

 

Having an LSD would be great but if its not a Quaife its not worth the 1200 for it. Not to long ago there was talk of getting Quaife to make some more for us. Dude 1200 is a lot of money man. I mean im not Rockafella over here. Im sure 98% of the people are saying the same thing.
Stillen has a LSD for hundreds less and it most likely will be the same thing. Not sure just how reliable it is... If i were to choose i would rather have a factory LSD. (Reasons stated before)

 

Everyone doesnt have 1200 dollars to spend on it. Everyone has their own car, and has their own taste. Worry about your own car and disregard on what others want to do with theirs.

 

COuldnt have said it better myself.

 

just go buy a canadian transmission for like 400$

 

@ this thread

 

Do the canadian versions of the 1995 5-speed tranny have LSD?

 

I belive all canadian 4thgen SEs have and LSD my 98 auto SE does

 

Yea I hear the same thing about the canadian maximas.

 

I have a VLSD in my car... we europeans have it stock

 

Uh, gee, okay. I'll worry about my own car.

 

man, American version of our car dont get the same quality as elsewhere.

That sucks.

Time to get a LSD from Canada now.

 

Yea that might be your best bet.

 

It is not about quality why Canada and other countries have fourth gens from the factory with VLSD. It is more of a percieved safety issue with the amount of snow that Canada and other European countries get compared to the States. Sure there are some parts of the US that get a huge amount of snow, but if you are to take an average over the entire country, the amount is not that great.
Unlike a Quaife or other mechanical LSD, the stock maxima uses a Viscous LSD which is just a fluid coupling to link the two front axles. If one wheel loses traction and starts to spin, some of the torque is transferred through the coupling to the the other wheel which has traction. This system works well on snow covered roads where both wheels are on similar surfaces for traction.

The viscous coupling will not transmit a large amount of torque however. For example if one wheel is on ice and the other is on dry pavement, you will just sit there and spin. I can spin one wheel with no problem on a wet road.

If you are looking for better control in the snow, then the VLSD will certainly help you out. If you have lots of horsepower and want to accelerate faster out of the corners, then you may be a little disappointed.

 

.................


Uh..ok....cool....

 

What??? you trying to start an internet stupid dot org war with me?
You guys flamed me enough, and when I finally settled with cool, this guy tries to slam me again. WTF?
Bottom line, If you want performance, get an LSD.
BTW...I know Quaife is the best. I tried a GD on it a while ago. Kaaz is nowhere NEAR quaife, but it shaved off at least $300 in a GD.
You stay calm.

 

u should just get a civic...cuz it's got VEE-TEK! therefore u don't need all that stuff...cuz ur VTEC is like...GOD.

 

that's true that it's not worth the money if you don't already have serious hp to transfer.

 

What? I already had a ciivic. Better hide behind that wall.

 

okay that's great to know.
