now is it a 180 body style or a 180 jdm? It is my understanding all canadian production registered 240 hatches (180 body) were LSD. ---

Yeah something along those lines, the canadian cars were lsd, 180’s were lsd. I think the difference is the diff cover has cooling fins on it if it is an lsd, but I might be mistaken. ---

If you have the ability to take out about 22 bolts and remember where they all go after then you can do it. Super easy job though, easily 2/10 or even 1/10. ---

what you can do to check is lift both rear tires off the ground and spin them … if they spin in the same direction , you have lsd . if you spin one wheel and the other goes in the opposite direction , you have open diff . and im pretty sure all JDM s13’s came with vlsd . 240sx however ( please correct me if im wrong ) has open diff except for the Super Hicas version which came in 1993 . ---

> [@eklips3](#): > > 240sx however ( please correct me if im wrong ) has open diff except for the Super Hicas version which came in 1993 . Nope. My 240sx doesn’t have hicas, but it has a vlsd. So this is not true. Also I’m pretty sure hicas was on 240s before 93. But that test you suggested is right.
