How do you tell if your S13 is a canadian model? I think I have an lsd because of all my both tire spinning experiences. I live pretty close to the Canadian border and I bought the car even closer. I am thinking the difference would be the vin but not sure which if any digit. If it matters at all its a 90

look at your speedo...if the larger numbers are kph, its canadian, if its mph, its US...simple as that...unless someone changed it...few other differences, but thats the most obvious...

I was under the impression that all Canadian 240s had stock Daytime Running Lights. Again, they could have been removed. Could also check the differential housing for the famed orange sticker.

Great way to test. Find an empty parking lot and do a donut if you have smoke from 2 tires u have a lsd and maybe a Canadian if not you have a regular run of the mill American POS. J/k about the pos part LOL.
