???? of a viscous coupling

I notice that cars like the Nissan Skyline and Lamborghini Diablo VT have AWD(All Wheel Drive) and my question is some viscous couplings will break due to turbo charging the engines to run boost. So is it possible to change the viscous coupling and if so with what to handle cars that are running power over 900 hp.

You'd need heavy duty clutch packs and fluid that has a very high boiling point.

1st off Skylines do not have AWD, they have clutch pack that when there engagded send power for the front wheel so in reality it closer to a 4WD system.
But yea VLSD tend to brake down there fluid in side them pretty quik in hi power out put car, then there more like an open diff thats y u see most hi out put cars have clutch style LSD's. Clutch style diffs have sevral advantages one been they can handle more heat and if they still get too hot u can always add an oil cooler too them. Z tune i am sure u have seen the oil coolers in the back of it just for that.

The "clutch type" LSD you are talking about is called a ZF LSD, or a lamell(?)-disk type.

which skyline are we speaking about here?
Because the R43 GT-R has AWD, but 'Kalifrajasexi' could be paying more attention to the E-TS,(torque split) which simply
makes it feel as if the car is RWD. Or the fact that the car has a limited slip-differential could be the cause of his mistake.
If nobody cares .....when the car was made,
Nissan were more focused on making the rear wheels dominant in most driving scenarios.
