it ok, I've been guilty of having a few and posting dumb s@#t on the forum before...

If you were talking about improving the handling it is possible that your friend was referring to the springs on the car... swapping them for stiffer springs will helping the handling somewhat, but has nothing to do with the LSD.

Read up on this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_slip_differential

G35 comes with the viscous, its pretty decent for everyday driving but does not hold up well to aggressive driving, and there's no way to adjust it.

Yeah since these come with a viscous limited slip already basically the only option is to completely replace it with a fully locking LSD (huge improvement BTW) but that's going to set you back at least $1000 just for the parts.
