TC102A-NSHX2 - TOMEI Technical Trax Advance 2-Way LSD Pro Kit - Nissan 350Z / 370Z / 400Z 6MT
TOMEI Technical Trax Advance 2-Way LSD Pro Kit
Developed for the Nissan 350Z, 370Z, and 400Z / RZ34 with 6-speed manual transmission, this PRO KIT combines TOMEI's aggressive 2-way mechanical limited-slip differential with a 3.916 final drive gear set. It is engineered to improve rear traction, corner-exit acceleration, straight-line stability, and driver control during circuit driving, drifting, winding-road use, and aggressive sports driving.

Why Upgrade the LSD?
The Nissan Z platform has exceptional rear-wheel-drive performance potential, but differential behavior is critical to putting power down. Sport RWD 400Z / RZ34 models use an open differential, which can allow one rear tire to spin during acceleration or corner exit. Performance, Heritage Edition, and NISMO RWD models use a factory mechanical LSD, but its mild tuning prioritizes daily drivability and quiet operation.
The TOMEI Technical Trax Advance LSD firmly transfers driving force to both rear tires. The result is stronger rear grip on corner exit, improved acceleration, better straight-line stability, more direct rear contact feel, and greater confidence on circuits, during drifting, and on winding roads.
Key Features
- Strong lock-up from a high-capacity clutch-disc structure
- Designed to maximize rear traction in FR sports cars
- Improved power transfer during corner exit
- Effective for improving circuit lap times
- Improved rear-vehicle control during drifting
- Direct FR driving feel suitable for performance street use
- Fully machined case for high strength, reduced weight, and additional internal disc capacity
- Larger-diameter inner- and outer-tooth discs for increased effective friction area
- 24 total clutch discs (12 per side), compared with 10 total (5 per side) in the referenced OEM LSD
- Greater friction area for stronger lock-up, improved wear resistance, and stable operation
2-Way Characteristics
A 2-way LSD provides strong operation during both acceleration and deceleration, allowing the driver to actively control rear-vehicle posture. It is recommended for drifting, circuit driving, and aggressive sports driving. A 1.5-way unit is generally easier to control on deceleration and is better suited to street, winding-road, circuit, and grip-focused use.
PRO KIT 3.916 Final Drive
The factory final-drive ratio for the 400Z / RZ34 6MT is 3.538, a mild ratio selected with highway cruising, fuel economy, and noise in mind. The included 3.916 final-drive gear set is approximately 10% shorter, improving acceleration feel, response, shift feel, and the connection between second and third gear.
| Specification | Final Drive Ratio | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Factory | 3.538 | Mild setup focused on highway cruising and fuel economy |
| TOMEI PRO KIT | 3.916 | Approximately 10% shorter gearing for stronger acceleration, response, and shifting enjoyment |
OEM 6MT Gear Ratios
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.530 | 2.324 | 1.624 | 1.271 | 1.000 | 0.794 |
400Z / RZ34 Cruising Comparison
| Final Drive | Approx. RPM at 100 km/h | 6th Gear at 7,000 RPM | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| OEM 3.538 | Approx. 2,200 RPM | Approx. 318.6 km/h | Calm ratio suitable for highway cruising |
| TOMEI 3.916 | Approx. 2,430 RPM | Approx. 288.0 km/h | Acceleration-focused; more engaging second and third gears |
400Z / RZ34 OEM Differential Reference
| US Grade | OEM Differential | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sport RWD | Open | Sports driving or lowered setups may experience traction limitations |
| Performance RWD | Mechanical | Factory unit is tuned for mild operation |
| Heritage Edition RWD | Mechanical | An upgraded LSD provides stronger locking for sports driving |
| NISMO RWD | Mechanical | Circuit and drift use benefit from stronger locking performance |
Important Notice
This is a mechanical LSD designed with an emphasis on sports driving. It does not have the mild operating feel of an OEM differential. Operating noise, chattering, tire dragging, and other aggressive mechanical-LSD characteristics may occur during low-speed turns or parking. It may not suit customers who prioritize quietness or factory-like behavior.
Professional installation by an experienced, qualified technician is strongly recommended. Specialized tools may be required. Follow all supplied manuals and warning labels. Some competition-oriented products may not be legal for public-road use in every area; check applicable local requirements before installation.
