An '04 would not have a Torsen, but have a Tochigi-Fugi, which is a cone type LSD. The grooved pieces are parts of the cones.

I've seen anecdotal evidence that the typical independent brake testing done on a roller , (where you have the roller spin the rear wheels and you apply the brakes/handbrake. The roller reduces pressure on one side or the other or both to test brake balance and effectiveness of the rear brakes), for MOT tests in the UK are very good at causing this type of damage.
If you have something similar in the US it may be the cause.

It does kinda suck but since it is my daily driver, I would rather have the 4:10. And after a rebuild I will be putting it in the Track Car

Just saw this thread and wanted to comment.
I had the same issue last spring, went to change the diff oil and pieces of the cone came out.
Ended up putting a torsen into it. The guy that did the work for me said that it looked like the gears tried to eat some of the parts that we're moving around with the oil. Fingers crossed that the new setup holds up.
I searched online for other posts on this type of failure but your is the first I have seen.
My car was never raced or tracked in any way, I did have some tire hop in the wet with the oem tires.
Any idea on what happened to your?
