The Cusco Type RS D&S Limited Slip Differential is a high-performance drivetrain component designed for Nissan 350Z and 370Z models from 2002 to 2012. Engineered to enhance traction and handling, this LSD features a spring-based mechanism that absorbs initial torque, providing a smoother engagement compared to the Type MZ. The Type RS offers adjustable settings, allowing users to select two of three configurations through simple internal adjustments. Its low initial torque design results in less power loss, translating to improved acceleration and reduced lap times, making it an ideal upgrade for both street and track use. Constructed with precision components, the Cusco LSD ensures durability and consistent performance under demanding driving conditions.

Designed specifically for Nissan 350Z and 370Z models within the 2002-2012 year range, the Cusco Type RS LSD is a direct replacement for the factory differential. It is suitable for vehicles used in spirited driving, track days, or performance-oriented street driving. The installation involves replacing the stock differential with this bolt-on unit, which does not require extensive modifications. The kit includes the LSD unit itself, with no additional components specified. This limited slip differential is compatible with various chassis codes and engine configurations within the specified model years, providing an effective upgrade for drivers seeking improved traction, cornering stability, and overall handling performance.

Overview

If you need the absolute best in traction, a Cusco Limited Slip Differential is what you seek. Cusco LSDs allow you to chose 2 of 3 settings with each unit just with a simple overhaul.

In the Type RS, it's springs absorb the initial torque. Compared to the Type MZ, the Type RS' initial torque comes on more gently. The response of the RS has lower friction and in turn, is better.

The Low Initial Torque means Less Power Loss. This equates to lower lap times, even for a mildly tuned vehicle. The low pressure on the clutch plates improves durability and lowers chatter. To top it off, the reduced pressure allows the driver to change the LSD oil less frequently.

Steady coil movement is assured by special precision springs set in the pressure plate. These springs are made to be resilient and allow for stable operation. Because these plates do not utilize a cone clutch, they do not stick and allow for increased longevity.

The Type RS transfers extreme power without slipping and responds quickly with pedal inputs. This differential is perfect, whether you're drag racing or going for huge drifts.

Three Ways To Set Up Your LSD

  • A 1 Way LSD is specially suited for front wheel drive cars and the front axle of AWD cars. It activates only under acceleration, allowing the better handling when you lift off the throttle. This is a great way to improve lap times.
  • A 1.5-way LSD activates fully under acceleration, but does not activate fully under deceleration. This decreases understeer compared to a 2-way LSD. This is recommended for drivers having difficulty with 2-way LSD understeer, or the braking on a one-way LSD.
  • A 2-way LSD is recommended on rear wheel drive cars and AWD rear axle cars.. Because it activates on both acceleration and deceleration, it is recommended for those who prefer hot driving action and big angle drift.
