How can I figure out if I have LSD?

 

first of all u shouldnt have a LSD, no coupes came with LSDs in the US. Unless sumone swapped it then u would have one. To check if u have a LSD one way is to lift the rear end of ur car, spin one wheel and if the other wheels spins the same way then u got a LSD. Also there should be a orange sticker on ur Diff that says VLSD if u do got one.

 

Hum...
I didn't know that orange sticker came from the factory....
cool.

 

Yep it does..

 

if memory serves me, Canadian S13 coupes were the ONLY in North America to have lsd from the factory.

 

 

i have a canadian 1989 240sx coupe and it has an open differental

 

they started to put VLSD on canadian 240s in 91...so only 91-98 canadian 240s got em

 

89-90 never had the option of a diff in canada. They put them on 91+ cuz ppl had trouble in the snow

 

so on what models can i expect to come with lsd

 

in the US, S13 hatchbacks with HICAS are equipped with VLSD. and S14 SEs have VLSD

 

s14 SE have LSD as an option if im not mistaken cuz i dont think i have lsd on mine

 

what lsd rear can be put in a 240 coupe with non lsd ? what car would i get one from, 300zx ?

 

this is the list, as far as i know (someone w/some REAL knowledge, feel free to correct me ):

USDM S13 HICAS edition
Canadian S13 (91+)
S14 SE (w/LSD option; may require different output shafts and whatnot)
JDM S13
Infiniti J30 (there's something about ABS and the driveshaft, IIRC)
N/A Z32 300ZX (the TT 300ZX has a longer gear ratio than the N/A)

basically, the part number ur looking for is the R200V differential (which all of the above vehicles should have). as i said before, some are a direct bolt on, some require things like: different dff cover, output shafts, driveshafts, ABS input rings, etc. i don't know which model needs what. there are FAQ's and howto's on the net about doing the diff swap and they're easy to find. plus, they usually have all that extra info about the swap. hope this helps.

 

Yep yep your right sil, And I belive any car with a R200V will fit in a 240..just gatta have the right diff cover, output shafts and everything else you wrote.
