ONIJDM.com is proud to announce that we are the Canadian Distributor of Kaaz High Performance Differentials for Nissans and other vehicles. Kaaz differentials come in 1.5 way and 2 way setups. They are made in Japan and are commonly used in drifting. We currently use it with great success on our drift Skyline.
If you are interested in purchasing one; or have any further questions; please email parts@onijdm.com
Thanks!

Features of Kaaz LSD
Kaaz LSD is the pioneer in the large sized clutch plate design (Figure 1). It’s effectiveness and durability has been proven at the race scene throughout the world.
Figure 1.
Clutch plates
Kaaz “Basic” and our new “Solid LSD” models react fast without fail and have a wide range of adjustments available to suit different drivng conditons. We use the largest friction plates size possible and also increase the number of plates to gain maximum performance. As a result, when compared with other LSD brands, you will find that a Kaaz LSD offers the following advantages:
* The sensitive LSD will work even when the slightest torque is applied.
* Increased ability to transfer power from the engine to the ground without loss.
* The power acting on the plates is reduced so that abrasion on the plates are protected.
* Increased number of friction plates greatly improves abrasion efficiency and heat capacitance of the plates. Longer plate wear life.
* Not only the friction plates, but all parts of our LSD have been improved and made larger, so the overall strength of the main body is increased.
These merits gives the LSD near perfect efficiency, stable operation and long lasting outstanding control for you. For a better understanding, you can view the exploded view photo of the Kaaz LSD to see the overall product construction.
Smooth locking ability and stable drivability
Kaaz has noticed a great advantage in the use of cone springs to apply the initial torque to the clutch plates. For this reason, we still use the cone spring design like the day our first production run was made. This is a long proven design.
The cone spring is generally known to provide pressure when compressed. Normally the initial resistance is soft but as more pressure is applied the resistance increases quickly. Understanding this cone spring’s character and pressure build up, our engineers have achieved a unique design to provide the smoothest engagement and locking ability into our LSD units.
In general, there is a misunderstanding that “High Initial Torque = More Effective LSD”. Kaaz design is based on the LSD’s overall locking characteristics and not to depend on the initial torque setting only. This makes for much smoother driver control. By controlling the LSD’s effectiveness based on the accelerator input, the driver can always feel superb stability while driving. Kaaz LSD’s most unique feature is the smoothness between the lock to free transfer due to it’s superb design.
Material and Special Processing
A newly developed “RS” type clutch plates are utilized on all our new “Solid LSD” models. These new plates are uniquely designed to improve gripping while reducing wear. All of our pinon gears and side gears are made from top quality steel and special heat treatment to obtain maximum strength. The differential casings are all machined from top quality material to withstand the abuse of high horsepower input and high temperature inherent in performance driving. Precise fitment is assured with strict quality control management.
