money is not a problem... then do it right, buy a KAAZ LSD for your car.

If your pumpkin(dif housing) doesn't have a finned aluminum cover, find one that does. Rear ends get very hot without a posi(lsd), a loaded one will burn up. Some 240's don't have a finned cover, your posi won't be able to handle the heat and will fall apart.

That is somewhat true, the heat is excessive but I have been running the same KAAZ diff in my R32 for about 3 & 1/2 years now. No Finned cover. I just keep the regular cover clean and change the oil with genuine KAAZ oil frequently. Never had a problem.

It is very important to follow the break in procedure.
like anything else.... engine break in, brakes, etc.....

[Vage1]

just wondering did you tow it to the area big enough or did you just drove it?

[akuma S14]

you can just drive it nice and easy i think it will be ok
no hard turns and no drag launches.... get to your parking lot, do firgure 8s in until you pass out... then go have fun. I recommend changing your fluid quickly after break in. (as does KAAZ)

Driving it isn't going to do any damage to it. The point of breaking it in is exactly the same as breaking in a clutch or brake pads: you want to make sure the friction surfaces are completely bedded so when you actually use them to their fullest extent, you won't damage them. When you put a new clutch in, do you tow the car until it's broken in? Do you tow a car to break in your brake pads?

Just drive to a parking lot and do your figure 8s. When you're done, go home and change your gear oil. Then go get sideways.
