*1 The design standard for initial torque output values is 8.0 kgf.m at the time of
delivery. After the LSD is broken in and the plates are working well together, it will
stabilize at 6.0 to 6.5 kgf.m.
20 large-diameter plates
Increasing the number of plates to 20 makes the shift from slip to lock
dramatically smoother. The diameter of the plates themselves, which are
the actual slipping faces of the LSD, was augmented 55% over existing
models. The result is a decreased load on each sliding face for a 30%
gain in durability.
Plate tooth design: the greatest tooth surface for the highest
power efficiency
The plates have 16 outside teeth which pick up the power input from the
engine and eight interior teeth handle input from the road. The case and
Side gear, which catch and hold the plate gears, have been set with
ultimate precision, giving you a large-diameter plate LSD that completely
controls slip judder. You will get stable, smooth, effective power and
improved durability.
Possibility of conversion between 2-WAY & 1.5-WAY
Both 2-WAY and 1.5-WAY setups are available for purchase. By
machining the pressure ring's cam angles, it is possible to convert
between 2-WAY & 1.5-WAY after purchase (this will also require a unit
overhaul).
*With the 2-WAY, the LSD is effective whether accelerating or not.
*With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration.
Special treatment for highest-quality plates
A special heat treatment developed exclusively by NISMO is applied to all
of the plate surfaces. This finish eliminates catching during slippage and
ensures a smooth, linear operation. it keeps the plates working in
harmony when they are first broken in, guarding against plate scorching
as well as any loss of initial torque.
High level of control
The GT L.S.D. brings you more than just strength and efficiency. It also
reduces power loss from occurring during time trials and provides the
solid traction needed to attain higher cornering speeds. All of this will
give you better angle control when drifting.
