well i got my VLSD in a few weeks ago, but have no idea what it is from! here are two pics and some specs:

4.08 gear ratio (49:12 stamped on ring gear)4 Bolt rear cover with cooling finsABS6 Bolt Outputswas told it was a JDM 180sx VLSD, but everything I've read says the 180sx VLSD's had a 4.36 GR with the 6 bolt outputs and 4.08 with the 5 bolt outputs.

What is this VLSD out of!

lol... thought so.. cuz an s13 open diff has about the same gear ratio as well.

J30's are like 3.8ish iirc, but have 5 bolt output shafts
