Couple of questions on 180’s for those that might know.

Did the auto’s come with VLSD?Is there a difference between the LSD and Non-LSD driveshafts? Do aftermarket units like kaaz fit both lsd and non lsd housing?

Thanks

yes auto’s came with vlsd

no there is no difference between a non lsd drive shaft

specify when you buying a aftermarket lsd if you need on for an open diff or a vlsd

Thanks for the quick reply

Nissan have a chassis plate with a diff code to tell if the car is LSD equipped?

Thanks again,

No they don’t have any indication AFAIK. Sometime there are orange stickers on the diff, but it’s likely no longer there after 15 years.

Lsd and open diff have different drive shaft lengths…the rear half anyways.
