I was wondering whether or not my 240sx 95 se has the LSD or not. i know for a fact it doesnt have the ABS so i believe it wouldnt have the LSD. and if not where is the part located so i check and when i find one where to install it.
p.s. where can i find a "how to" on installing LSD ??
all HELP APPRECIATED THANKS!!

The VLSD is located in the rear differential housing. There are several ways to find out if you have it. Go to 240sx.org... in the FAQ section there is a write up on how to install a new differential. I believe there is a secton there that describes the best ways to determine whether or not you have VLSD. Under the History section there is information regarding options packages for the 95 and up 240's. I believe that the 95 SE came with ABS and VLSD together... or not at all. I have a 95 base model with VLSD, but no ABS. Sounds like yours might not have it if it's an SE.
The best way to find out about VLSD: The vehicle ID tag is stamped onto the firewall on the passenger side (under the hood) You will find an 18 digit code... the last letter will tell you if you have VLSD or not. I'll go look it up for you... hang on.

S14: Checking for LSD using Car's Model number
Find the car's identification plate on the firewall, passenger side.
Check digit 18 in the model # (not the VIN!).
For Feb '94 - July '95: A, C, or E, = LSD
F, or "-" = NO LSD
For July '95 - July '96: A, C, or F = LSD
B, D, or "-" = NO LSD
sorry.. that link is bunk, so I just copy/pasted the info from 240sx.org onto here... thanks Shawn!

Go to 240sx.org and find LSD under the FAQ heading. Should be a detailed write-up. Basically VLSD is Viscious Limited Slip Differential. It uses a liquid that heats and expands as output shafts spin independantly. As it expands it locks the output shafts together..
There are many different types of diff locking products on the market. Most are mechanical in nature. The aftermarket for nissan isn't all that big... but they can be found. Most of the aftermarket for locking diffs are in muscle car drag-racing, and off-road 4X4's. Personally I think the VLSD is a very unique and well designed differential.
