Midnight-Runner Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi all just having a look through a few different things to find out how to tell if you car has a LSD or not. I currently have a 350gt premium coupe auto and just went for a quick spin thought I might burn a bit of rubber had a quick look back and I noticed twinnies so I'm assuming it has a LSD sorry if seems like a noob question but I thought I'd ask Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444934-lsd-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicii Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) usually it was only on the 6MT or if the 'sports' option was selected. Jack one rear wheel off the ground, remove the handbrake and put it in Neutral (with suitable chocks under the front wheels of course), if it has LSD, the wheel will need more effort to turn by hand and you won't be able to turn it very fast, if it has an open diff, it will turn fairly easily. Or, jack up both rear wheels, (again in N with handbrake off), turn one wheel, if the other one turns the same direction, it has an LSD, if it turns in the opposite direction, it doesn't.

GeeDog Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Check the build plate in the engine bay - if the diff code is RC33 it is a VLSD Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444934-lsd-question/#findComment-7323612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Wow, I was under the impression that NO autos have LSD. Mine certainly open wheels Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444934-lsd-question/#findComment-7324109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicii Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm fairly sure it was a manufacturer option on the auto, which also came with the 19in rays. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444934-lsd-question/#findComment-7324130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeDog Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Mine was auto with an LSD - confirmed both by code & wheels off the ground and both turn the same way. You can go to the following site - http://nissan.epc-data.com/ & enter the Japanese VIN (mine was cpv35-5005xxx - xxx is numbers changed to protect the guilty) and it will show you what options were fitted at the factory. If you hover the mouse over each option code you will get a description, mostly in English. Mine had the following option codes: CLAS8 - Premium spec DWHL8 - Shows "18(-0411)/19(0411-)ｲﾝﾁﾀｲﾔ+ aluminum +ﾋﾞｽｶｽLSD" which google translate says is "18 (-0411) / 19 (0411 -) inch tires + aluminum + viscous LSD" GLSSW - Privacy Glass TELV2 - TV/Navigation (DVD) Thanks to Rob101 who originally posted the link above. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444934-lsd-question/#findComment-7324164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
