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.

Oh I feel like an idiot...I don't know why I didn't think of this :/

I shall check the code as well!

Thanks heaps guys appreciated

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 +ビスカス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.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
