Cusco LSD MZ 2way(1&2way) Infinity/Nissan EX35/HV35/J50/NJ50

This is the Cusco LSD MZ 2way (also known as 1&2way) differential for select Infinity and Nissan models, including the EX35, HV35, J50, and NJ50. A limited-slip differential, or LSD, is a crucial component in your drivetrain that helps manage power distribution between your drive wheels. Unlike an open differential, which sends all power to the wheel with the least traction, an LSD can lock up to send power to both wheels, improving traction and handling, especially during cornering or when accelerating out of turns. This Cusco unit is a 2-way type, meaning it engages during both acceleration and deceleration, providing consistent control in a variety of driving situations.

The MZ series from Cusco is well-known for its smooth engagement and durability. This particular unit is designed to fit specific Infinity and Nissan applications, ensuring a direct replacement for your factory differential. Its construction focuses on providing reliable performance for drivers who push their vehicles, whether on the street or the track. The 2-way action is particularly beneficial for performance driving, as it helps stabilize the rear end during both throttle application and engine braking, leading to a more predictable and controlled driving experience. Installation involves removing the factory differential and replacing it with this Cusco unit, requiring specialized knowledge and tools for proper setup and alignment.

When installing a limited-slip differential like this Cusco MZ, it's important to follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure carefully. This typically involves a period of gentle driving and specific fluid changes to ensure the clutch plates seat properly. Doing so will maximize the lifespan and performance of your new differential. This LSD is a significant upgrade for drivers looking to enhance their vehicle's handling characteristics and put power down more effectively.
