Hi Steve, welcome aboard.

First off, you need some new friends, because the one you have knows nothing about Nissans.

Quick corrections:

All transmissions in 240sx's are the same. You get an automatic or a manual, and that's it.

All USDM 240sx's had a KA24E or DE motor, not DE-T. The T signifies "turbo" and Nissan never made a factory turbo KA.

LSD = Limited Slip Differential. This is commonly referred to as the "pumpkin", or the gear housing between the rear axles.

No such thing as an "LSD transmission".

The Nissan LSD will make NO difference in gear ratios necause they are all the same. The only difference between an LSD and the differential you probably have is the LSD applies power to both rear wheels rather than one.

Those are the basics, now quit hanging out with that friend and start reading posts here - You'll learn a LOT more. Better still, invite your friend.

Your freind is a tard. If anything the final ratio is pretty short in 240sx's. I run around 3K @70mph. most 240sx se have a limited slip diff(LSD) like mine. An LSD swapped from a J30 will decrease your rpms because the gears are different not the lsd mechanisms.

Not enough to notice.

On the 95 to 98 to have LSD you have to have Anti lock brakes but not every car will have LSD if it does have Anti Lock Brakes for veh from US. SE's and some LE's
