Pretty much impossible to tell from a photo, but the finned cover suggests it might be a viscous LSD. Try jacking up the rear end (both wheels off the ground), then turning one wheel - if the other wheel turns in the same direction, then you have an LSD, but if it turns in the opposite direction it is an open diff (probably - i've seen completely stuffed LSD's act in the same way as an open diff).

RC45 says you have an R200 diff with 4.5 gears.

I jack the car up last week and when i turn 1 wheel front or back. The other doesn't move at all. Is it spoiled?

Where can i find info on how to tell what type of LSD i have and if it is damaged or worn?

Turning a wheel while your car is on a car may not cause the other to turn as well for both an open wheeler and LSD - the other wheel will only turn definately if you have a Locked diff.

The 4.5:1 is better for fast pick up and drifting although you'll go thru fuel way quicker.

One way of telling (the way I found out at least) is to go to a quiet road and do a long 2nd gear burnout (dumping the clutch hard so as not to allow it to slip) - do the burnout for about 5 metres and get out and check - if there's 2 black lines, it's working if there's only one, then it's broken or it's an open wheeler.

If the LSD is working (at all) both wheels should turn together....on an open diff they will turn in the opposite direction because that is the nature of the mechanism. The ONLY way this won't happen (either case) is when something else is preventing it (eg brake pad drag).

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
