SOLD!
Hey guys i have 1 Quaife LSD brand spanking new...
I purchased it for myself 2 days ago it should be at my house in NY in about a week, but now i want to go into different direction.
The price is 1000 shipped to Continental U.S. and paypal fees covered by me.
If you are local to NYC you can also pick it up for $950 cash.
thanks for looking.

This one is not Giken this is Quaife.
The reason why i'm selling is because i want to go with OS Giken now... It's more expensive but because i'm going to track the car and put down big numbers i want to get the ultimate LSD.
Quaife is great as well, Ptuning won using this LSD and many other track cars and drag racers use Quaife and it's just a great maintnance free LSD.

FYI: The TRD LSD is a rebranded Quaife unit, so there are absolutely no issues with fitment or reliability. I have this same unit in my car, and I love it. I can take turns far faster than it seems like should be possible, and the traction in slippery conditions is vastly improved. In my opinion, an LSD should be DOT required on all new vehicles. It really does make an enormous difference!
Also, the Quaife "LSD" is actually an "Automatic Torque Biasing" sytsem or "ATB" (per Quaife). It has the same effect as a puck-type LSD (such as the OS Giken) but it doesn't have any of the chattering noise, or wear problems of the hardcore racing units. The Quaife requires less maintenance, but it doesn't lock up quite as well. For any car other than a purpose-built, high-horsepower track monster, the Quaife unit is perfect. To top it all off, in 15 years of working on cars I have never once heard of a Quaife unit breaking. They are as close to bulletproof as it gets.
I paid about $1250 for mine from TRD Sparks, so this is a decent discount. The installation is a little pricey, because you basically have to remove the whole transmission from the car, but if you're replacing the clutch or flywheel then this is the perfect thing to do at the same time. Free bump for a great product!

Damn, I just realized that I forgot to mention one of the best features of this thing.
Ya know when you stomp on the gas from a standstill and the steering wheel jerks to the side? That's called torque-steer. This LSD will eliminate 90% of it.
Notice all the past rides in my sig? Notice how most of them are rear-wheel-drive? Torque-steer is the primary reason for that. I HATE TORQUE-STEER. That's why this LSD was the first big upgrade I bought for this car.

Thank Paul.
All right guys take notice, you see that picture provided my Mr. Dezod? Well, that's OS Giken LSD. You see how many moving parts there is inside of it ? Well THAT will require service eventually. That LSD is best suited if you do drag/autox/track racing.
Quaife LSD is second to none on the street not only that it will perform well but also it is more affordable and require absolutely NO service EVER !
Un4scene thanks for your review buddy, i appreciate it
