It's difficult for you as you're not around frequently enough to see how many of the"fast" guys do t2 when they think no one is watching. Note how the outside curbing seemingly ends short? Notice how the concrete curbing on the inside starts really, really early? Try entering T2 really tight, you may find it works for you. It certainly did for me.

Based on my personal experience with their unit for 240sx and miatas, stay away from Royal Purple gear oil, seems to be too slick and locking is hindered a lot. The OSG fluid is a bit expensive, but seemed to provide the smoothest and most consistent lock. On the plus side it lasts pretty long. I would change fluid once every 18mo or so (20k-ish street street, 15-20 autox events per year). |

Do you recommend OSG over the ATS Carbon since you have tried both? The price for the LSDs are so similar and I cannot afford to try all of them. There so many types to choose even within a brand: For example: 1) Standard vs Carbon vs Silent (ATS) 2) Spec S vs Spec X (OS Giken) Say if I am looking for: 1) Longevity / Durability 2) No rebuilt (except changing diff oil 15000km to 20000km) 3) Less Noise (S2k forum noted the ATS carbon has no noise at all) 4) Easier to drive / control (don't have pro skills on track) 5) No clutch break-in period would be great too https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/speed...differentials/ ATS Highlights
OS Giken Highlights
Do you also recommend the extra capacity LSD oil like the Greddy diff cover? Thanks! |

@botbs I recommend the one that you can get configured to match your specific use case. It's like comparing high end dampers; it's not the brand that matters, but the one where you get the support and/or configuration you need to maximize your performance.
You highlighted a bunch of marketing bullet points, but ultimately, for all intents and purposes, the two work identically, and a pro for one is a pro for both, and a con for one, is a con for both. They're that similar. Yes, you want extra capacity. The diff needs to be configured to match you. Don't use an off-the-shelf diff, unless you want off-the-shelf results. Given how much you're spending, paying the extra to get it custom built is the way to go, always. PM to get an order set up. |

When I went from oem Torsen to 1.5 OSGiken I found oversteer much easier to control. My car would often fishtail with the oem diff.

The breakaway and recovery is so smooth with the OS Giken 1.5. I should have done it as my very first mod. Changed the car totally.
