I can't find anything that isn't going to break my bank. Several of the Junk yards want 1600 for a I30 tranny. Thats outrageous. Do I really need the LSD? I just bought a S/C? Or is there a place where i can find it cheaper?

I'm faced with the same problem. One of my wheels always wants to break loose upon hard accel. Especially when in boost. By the way, do all I30 5spds have LSD, or was it optional?

I thought the LSD on the Infiniti was only on the Touring models from 2000 up? Not sure...

If you have a 5sp, Cattman is bringing the Quaife, which should let you leave two dark lines instead of one... if you get in early with the preorder, they're like $1300 vs probably around $1600 later...

percentage lock...

thanks... leads me to the next question.... do you know roughly what percentage these are able to lock? if they viscous, it'd seem like they're more finicky on the transfluid used. (just wondering because my miata with the viscous is only like 15-20% lock vs. the Torsen with 40-50% lock)... well, either way I guess it'd help!

thanks...
