So I was at the autocross a month ago, and i was really losing power on the corners. BrianV8 was there and he notified me that i had one wheel spinning only as I was cornering, so did he. So we did a little bit of research and this is what we found:
http://datnet.org/TECH-ARTICLE-Tighten-r200-viscous-lsd-t530.html
It is a guide on how to "shim" your stock viscous LSD to give it more lock on the corners. The shims can be ordered from Nissan and they are only about 14 dollars... needless to say this is way cheaper than buying a new Limited Slip. Different thicknesses are available from Nissan. Thinner shims will result in less lock, but thick enough shims and apparently it feels like a 2 way almost.
Brian had this issue as well so we ordered the shims and I will update this with a review of our findings when they are in. I believe we went with a 1.6 mm shim.
I have also been told that an upgraded rear sway-bar will help keep more weight on the inside tire also aiding the situation, but I will try the under 20 dollar method first and see what we come up with.
