What is a 2-way limited slip differential?

A 2-way LSD, like the Cusco Type RS, actively locks the differential during both acceleration and deceleration. This means it helps distribute power evenly to both rear wheels not only when you're pressing the gas but also when you lift off or are engine braking, providing a consistent feel through turns.

What is included with the Cusco Type RS LSD?

The Cusco Type RS LSD unit itself is included. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or contact a professional installer to confirm all necessary associated parts, such as specific differential fluid and any required seals or gaskets, for a complete installation.

Is this LSD suitable for daily driving?

While the Cusco Type RS is designed for smooth engagement, it is a performance differential. Many drivers find it perfectly drivable for daily use, appreciating the improved traction. However, some minor changes in driving feel compared to an open differential are to be expected.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Cusco Type RS 2 Way Limited Slip Differential (LSD) specifically for the Nissan Fairlady Z and 350Z (Z33 chassis) equipped with a manual transmission. If you're looking to significantly improve your car's traction and handling, especially during spirited driving, cornering, or when accelerating out of turns, an LSD is a key component. It ensures that power is distributed more evenly between the rear wheels, preventing one wheel from spinning freely while the other has grip. This results in a more stable and predictable feel, allowing you to put the power down more effectively.

The Type RS is Cusco's popular 2-way LSD, meaning it actively engages during both acceleration and deceleration. This characteristic is highly favored by many drivers for its consistent feel throughout a corner. It's built with a high number of locking plates and a unique cam mechanism that allows for smooth engagement and disengagement, reducing the jerky feeling sometimes associated with other LSDs. The design focuses on providing strong locking force while maintaining drivability on the street. Cusco is well-known for its performance drivetrain components, and this LSD is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle's performance capabilities.

Installation of a differential like this is a significant undertaking and typically requires specialized tools and knowledge. It's often recommended to have this part installed by a professional mechanic experienced with drivetrain components. Ensure you have all necessary associated parts and fluids, such as differential fluid, before beginning the installation process. This LSD is designed to be a direct replacement for the factory differential, but professional installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
