I recently bought a 1996 240sx LE, it has leather, sunroof, and all power options available. However, I was wondering if it has VLSD? I havent checked the car to see if it has ABS because I know that was what came in the package (VLSD & ABS). The car is in the shop getting an SR swapped into it and it would be nice to know if it has the limited slip or not? Thanks in advance :/:

you jack it up and not have ebrake on and try spinning one rear wheel. if other wheel spins with it afterwards then u have vlsd. u can also check ur vin. decode it and it will tell u wat package ur car has stock.

Do what Lucidsnow said… jack up your rear, handbrake down. turn one wheel.

If the other turns as well u have it.

Nice, good link.

My 14th digit in my MIN is an E which is not mentioned in that guide, though – there’s A, B, C, D, F, G, but no E… I assume it’s just F with fog lamps as well since that’s exactly what I have (well, a previous owner took off the lamps but my model is an LE which comes with fogs and I can see where the fog wires were cut).

this from my experience does not work on vlsd’s as the Viscous fluid needs a certain amount of torque applied to force the engagement of the opposite wheel  
just something you cant do by hand.

I bought a vlsd.  
Turned one of the shafts and the other turned.  
This was with it off the car… worked for me.  
I imagine turning the tires is the same.
