stock s14 ka24de has no lsd and is one wheel peel (only one wheel lays rubber on a burn out), if there is an lsd both wheels will lay rubber.

Yes, The HICAS cars came with a VLSD, but i dont know about the non-HICAS ones, But you are correct, if the car only spins 1 tire when you drop the clutch, no VLSD.

any marking on the diff or anything to point out the vlsd? (whats the v stand for?)
I just got my 240 and love it, i just live with this guy and need to shut him up with “physical proof” as he calls it. Its quite annoying as he brings it up every chance he gets.

V stands for Viscous, its the type of LSD, it uses fluid shearing to lock up. Most factory LSD’s are Viscous. O and I thought you said S13, I don’t think S14’s had HICAS. What trim level is the car that would help too.

there should be a yellow or orange sticker on the differential cover that says “limited slip gear oil only”. if it doesnt, lift both rear wheels off the ground, put the car in neutral, and spin one wheel. if the other goes the same way, then you have limited slip

i think the amount of heatsink fins on the casing can determine a VLSD from an open one.(?)
if there are no stickers…

I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the 5 bolt S14’s came with LSD.

All canadian S14 came with a VLSD. In the USA it was an option, typicaly the base USA model had no VLSD and the SE model would have VSLD.
To be sure what your car came with from the factory you can decode your VIN.

x2
My 4-bolt base s14 had an lsd.
And with my experiences, stock Nissan lsd’s hold up pretty well. Or at least compared to other cars like fc’s.

Correct me if i’m wrong, but has anyone noticed you can still do a 2 tire peelout (foot off the brake) with an open LSD?
In my fwd talon I could also spin both. Not sure if rwd open diff is the same deal…
