Mine does the same, however, if you turn the sterring wheel and try the same thing, you will most likely notice you have a peg legger...I could be worng though, maybe someone already has done the switch for you before you got the car, or perhaps you have a vlsd.

I f you research a little, you will find why I have great faith in this statement: Just because you have two stripes after a burnout, it does not mean you have a limited slip diffferential. It means you have an equal amount of grip on both sides of the car.

next time you do a burnout have some water on the road but only under one tire. if both spin you have an lsd. if not then its an open diff.

Jack up the rear of the car and spin the tire by hand, if the opposite tire spins the opposite way, open diff. If it spins the same way, LSD.

Not the LSD feature but a different gear ration used in the J30?

Either it is LSD or someone has welded the unit making permanent two-wheel drive. Place passenger rear wheel on a grease or soapy patch and gun the engine. If the driver’s side burns rubber, you have LSD.
