If I may clarify, a Torsen LSD is Torque Sensing (hence the name torsen) and will send torque to a wheel that has grip, and away from one that does not. They aren't particularly common in japanese production cars until recently. I don't know much about GT4's and Caldinas, but I'd be surprised if you've got one. It sounds very much like open diff behaviour to me. You'd probably find you've got a Viscous centre diff that provides the split, and open front and rear. Torsens are a good choice for a daily driven car, they are very predictable to drive. Other choices are clutch or viscous. Viscous will behave like a normal diff for a little until it 'warms up' and then will lock. Good fun in a RWD car because you get that moment of sideways before the launch. Clutch LSD's are much the same, but depend on the power being put into the diff.
Cheers
Mike
