The G35 AWD was really fun to drive as a result and actually sounded decent too. It was a bit of a sleeper and part of the reason the G37 was on my radar before I researched it to death and actually bought one.
As far as I remember, the r34 had an LSD front and rear, while the g35 and g37 have open diffs front and rear. (I could be wrong and the r34 may have had an open diff up front, haven't read up on it in a while)

Ok seriously dude, if your favorite mod is the wheels at least post a picture where we can see them.

On a completely unrelated note, what do you guys think of my new bed? Pretty awesome huh?

What a downer! Does this apply to RWD 4WAS also? No VLSD?

At our HP levels/Torque do we really need a VLSD in our AWD G37? I've heard my tires chirp a handful of times?

Well, if you want to have some fun, you can do a one tire fire with our setup, or a proper burnout with an lsd. Cornering is different and you can do some nice skids.

A buddy of mine did a vlsd swap for the rear dif in his G a few years back. Sold the car since, but I remember trying it, and under more intense conditions you can really tell something is different.

Absolutely, the rear kicks so easily in these cars that not being able to control it is a feeling you dont miss until you've experienced one.

Skids are much more unpredictable without it.

I decided to check yesterday and mine while in the air and it doesnt look promising ( Sport sedan, AKE, 4WAS RWD) one wheel soun faster.

Did some research and apparently what you said is the consensus. That it does help even with AWD especially when pushing a car it at the track.

Rear wheel steering. Along with a front camera and folding mirrors, it's one of those goodies that exist on our cars, but you wouldn't believe it till you saw it yourself.

Oh, 4 wheel active steer. Ok. I did not even realize that was an option on our cars. Was it available on a RWD Sport 6spd. model? I don't remember seeing that on the options list, but maybe it was not available in 2013. My car has an VLSD in back, but definitely not those features. I wonder if it worked well on the G. I remember the 4WAS on the 300ZX and most people would disable it. The Altima had a version of 4WAS recently, but no one knew about it.
