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

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.

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-)锝诧緷锞侊線锝诧緮+ aluminum +锞嬶緸锝斤蕉锝絃SD" 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.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
