Which G35s came/come with an LSD?

Post by **RED_DET** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 7:01 pm

2003 didn't. 2004+ did.

To add be more clear:

2003 sedans didn't have an option for VLSD

2004-2006 sedans had a sport package option which came with VLSD

2007 sport sedans have VLSD, base & journey have ABLS

2003-2004 coupes had VSLD if it was a Performance Wheel and Tire package option, which meant 18" wheels auto or manual.

2005-2007 coupes only those with the Sport Suspension Package had VSLD

*The 18" wheel option for 05/06 is only that, wheels and tiresVLSD became part of the Sport Tuned Suspension package for 05/06*

To clearify what "sport package" on the sedans:

Breakdown of oem VLSD fitment G35 sedans, all production

03 AT with or without sport suspension: NO03 MT: NO (has sport suspension standard of course)

04 AT: with or without sport suspension: NO04 MT: Yes

05/06 AT with sport suspension: Yes05/06 AT without sport suspension: No05/06 MT: Yes

I'm glad this was brought up, I was about to post the same question. There's a G-sedan that I want to look at and it mentioned 'sport package', but I wasn't sure if that meant LSD or not.

It'll be worth the 120 mile trip now to check it out.

Is there any way of confirming LSD on a coupe? Other than turning VDC off and trying to do doughnuts?

Call the dealer with your VIN #...

Great answer!

I'm sure I covered coupes and sedans in my post of which cars have VLSD.

Post by **Sentientbydesign** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 1:29 pm

It was somewhat complicated to figure out.

AND

Any dealer can slap on larger rims. That doesn't make it a sports package or infer that it has VLSD.

Jack up the rear wheels of your car, and turn one of your rear wheels. If you have open differential, your wheels will spin in opposite direction (make sure you are in Park or 1st gear). With LSD, they will spin in the same direction.

I haven't bought the car yet, so I need to be able to ID it before purchasing it, taking it home, jacking it up, and trying to figure it out then.

I looked at the vin/engine/transaxle code under the hood on the pass side in front of the battery. I have VLSD and the code reads FS6R31 R35. Look on the car and write down the transaxle code. I will try to get one of the others on here that don't have a vlsd to confirm the numbers.

Post by **SpeedRacer1** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 7:00 am

You only need to jack up one wheel. If that rear will spins freely its open. If it spins but only under heavy rotating its a vlsd.

Post by **Sentientbydesign** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 7:43 am

Excellent. I will post something as soon as I can.

It appears that if there is a titanium color trim for the console/radio bezel, that is another indicator. Sport Package/Performance Tire & Wheel package came with those color trim interior pieces.

this should be a sticky

But all MT's have the VLSD. Except if it is an 03 and doesn't have the sport package

I have a 2003 6MT Brembo Coupe that had the stock 18inch wheels when I bought it.

Mine is a 2007 Coupe with RAS, VDC, and LSD. Only way I could tell without jacking up the car is that in the rain, at very high take-off or with enough torque, the LSD light on the dash board starts blinking very fast as your tires spin on the wet ground. If you don't see that blink on take off with spinning wheels then you do not have a LSD. The blink is different from the gear shift light that blinks when the car requyires you to shift.

The other interesting technology is the Rear Active Steer (RAS). I have found the use of the VDC useless on curves, with the RAS. The RAs and VDC together makes the need for an after market sway bar not really important. The RAs really works like magic. It holds the rear of the car tightly in place. However, becasue of this, an alignment of the tires every 15,000 miles is a must in order to ensure that your tires are not wearing away on one side than the other, due to the effect of the curves.

ALL G35s have the SLIP Light..

Alignment... effect of curves?You're talking about camber wear right? Huh? that has nothing to do with RAS.

And about not needing a after-market sway I guess you don't do much REALLY hard driving.

Post by **Jacko3** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 6:08 am

Kenrik:

You are right, maybe I don't do too much driving afterall. I really don't know how much harder to push the car. I have gone through curves at 90 -100 miles per hour with the VDC off, and the RAS has partly made this possible. Because the RAS makes the rear wheels turn at speeds over 50 MPH, the rear tires especially will wear out unevenly for that reason. These are just my observations, as i have not observed the same phenomenon on my second dino car that has little to no technology in it. I maybe wrong, but how do i dismiss what i have seen with my eyes?

Does it mean that FS6R31A RC35. is not viscous limited slip. Mine is with A. what this A means?

Do a short burn out , if one tire mark you dont have lsd , less work , more fun
