When adding performance to your 350z make sure to add Limited Slip Differentials (LSD). The Limited Slip Differentials will gave 350z more gripping and give your clutch more efficient power. Drive train customization for a drift car is without a doubt the most important. In order to properly drift, one must first consider installing a differential (LSD). While some vehicles come standard with a LSD the most typical stock differential is open. Other types of differentials that are prominent among drifters includes a spool limited slip differential and a welded limited slip differential. Spool limited slip differential are interesting, in that they perform no differential effect and the wheels of the vehicle are simply locked together. On the other hand, the welded limited slip differential is a procedure that welds the side gears together, making a drift possible at a high rate of speed. There are definite cons when choosing to go with a limited slip differential alternative. For example, while a welded differential is much cheaper, it makes parking more difficult and is devastating to the drive train over time. So while there are cheaper methods of obtaining a differential system that will allow for accurate drifting, in the long term, it is most efficient to go with a LSD. Nissan 350zed is a 1.5 way so upgradeable to 2 way limited slip differential designed to provide maximum traction that is most often lost in hard off the line acceleration. The limited slip differential will sense when one wheel starts losing traction due to track or road conditions, hard cornering, and torque the steer. Once it detects the slippage, it will compensate by shuffling the power from side to side to overcome the loss of traction. This limited slip differential translates into better track or quarter mile times, and more efficient use of the engines power. On the Nissan 350zed the rear limited slip differential is adjustable in 60%, 80%, and 100% lockup mode. This LSD is VCD compatible you will have to turn VCD off to enjoy the full benefits. The limited slip differential is a full install kit that including everything shown, and is perfect for the base model 350zed adding an LSD.
