OK I own a 1990 240sx, I know it has the sport package that cost 2100 extra, but it doesnt even have a/c lol. Anywayz I was looking at zilvia.net`s vlsd install and the regular diff. that they took out didnt have the heat sink cooling fins on it but the vlsd did, my car has those cooling fins on the lsd, is there any other way to find out, when I burn out it does burn out on both tires but a little more on one than the other. Is there any for sure way to know??

Try reading more than just the topic titles... I did a search for "LSD" and found the answer to your question in 2 minutes.

 

Does your hatchback have ABS?

 

As far as I know, the only S13s with VLSD had Hicas, which wasn't an option on the zenki hatchbacks. You're chances of having a VLSD are very slim, and the only way you have is if a previous owner installed one.

 

The fun way.

Step 1 Rev to Redline
Step 2 Dump the clutch
Step 3 Wait a few seconds
Step 4 Get out of the car and count the number of stripes on the ground 1 = No LSD, 2 =LSD

The other way

Or you could try and inspect your diff and check for things like the ABS sensor line or usually there's an orange sticker saying LSD

 

or u can lift up your back end and spin one wheel if it spins in the same direction u got lsd but if u spin it and spins the other way u aint got lsd that saves u from wasting your tires.

 

It may be different because I live in Canada but I have a '93 se without Hicas and I have a VLSD. But I think the Canadian S13's are a bit different in this regard.

 

go with the second method that EAGLE 5 posted, or Hollowpoint's strategy. because, under the right circumstances, even open diff cars can leave two marks (theres a thread where someone w/an open diff car was confused because of that).

also, driftMachine, it's my understanding that most (if not all) Canadian S13 models 91+ came with vlsd (regardless of HICAS). even the coupes. dunno if it had to do w/snow and safety or whatever...

oh yeah, and u sorry creeps got the non-choking-u-to-death-upon-starting-the-vehicle manual seatbelts, too. lol (j/k bout the 'creeps' part )

 

Same here Sil, from what I know *all*91+ models of 240sx's have VLSD. Could be wrong

 

Insert the word non-USDM in there, and you'd be on the closer-to-correct path.

The US is the ONLY country that got screwed out of VLSD on every S chassis car.

 

Hahaha the U.S. gets screwed a lot when it comes to what others get... like Skyline's FROM THE FACTORY!

SR20DET stock... Sil-Eighty's... and so on and so on...

 

1+ for the rest of the world

 

yeah, we always get the shaft...
