As far as I know the V-Spec factory LSD is the same as the non-V-Spec BNR32. From the looks of it EPX is for for regular diffs (suitable for front diff) and LSX for limited slip diffs (suitable for front & rear diff), both are mineral oils. If you want something more suitable for the track or will last longer, Castrol make a full synthentic called SAF-XA

sorry i was talking about r34 in this case should of been more clear. not sure if it makes a diffrence

penrite and castrol seem to have non lsd oils listed for the rear diff (epx and hypoid)

Pretty sure R34 V-Spec's have an active diff (I think it's a viscous type?) versus a mechanical LSD (hypoid type), if the active diff is a viscous type I'm pretty sure the LSD part is sealed and that why they list non-lsd oils for the rear.
