HI Guys,
Heres some pictures of the removal of the stock Diff unit and later I will have the pictures of the OS Giken Diff unit in the car. Hopefully by tomorrow.
I am very much looking forward to giving you all INFO regarding this. The F will get abused on this year to test this new diff so I will be posting my Review of this and helping Everyone with all there questions regarding this. I hope tomorrow to have more pics for everyone to see the progress..

Did you go with the Super Locker LSD 1.5 way type ???
(the only one I found in Japan)
Also wondering did you have to import in from Japan??
OS Giken USA still has nothing official on the unit for sale here in the USA
OS Giken sponsored my car with the ONLY US unit available. I am doing all the testing for them and giving them feedback. With the car running in Most of the REDLINE TIME Attack events this year and several other track days setup I think it will get lots of testing. I will also be testing several other products on the market that I will post up on another thread.
When it comes to electronics I'm very fluent but wow this is so cool!
Can anyone explain to me why you want to swap this diff into the IS-F? Is it strictly for track performance advantages? I assume this would totally kill the warranty on the stock tranny if Lexus Service saw this?
Just curious to learn since I really don't see why this is needed for a luxury car?
this is one of the biggest improvements in handling we can do. With having an open diff the power is not going to both wheels when needed. great for cornering and several other things. Warranty well I am only touching the Diff and well i dont think that will really void the warranty for the tranny. IT is definitely a big job but with proper settings and adjustments its not that bad. I am running OS Gikens PREMIER DIFF the TCD 1.5 super locker so I am anxious to see how it feels.
