Viscous limited-slip differential (VLSD)

bigZ · 03-16-2011, 10:13 AM

How do I know if my touring with the sport package has the Viscous limited-slip differential (VLSD)?

I own a 2010 40th anniversary.

If it has the sport package, it does.

1. Jack up rear of the Z
2. Place jack stand in factory locations
3. Remove rear diff cover
4. Check for LSD
5. Replace cover
6. Lower Z

Or, you could just read Red-Zed's post.

Don't mind me. I just have LSD envy.

I'd still check. I've heard stories about Nissan workers leaving them out.

OK I made that up.

I was posting it for the benefit of the OP, hence the "your 40th"

drive to an empty parking lot at night, rev to 2k, drop the clutch and give it some throttle. Place car in park, get out, check for two tire marks, guesswork complete

Anyone know how I can tell if I got the Persimmon interior?

kenchan · 03-23-2011, 04:00 PM

you have to take the trunk hatch off the car.

Xander117 · 03-23-2011, 04:01 PM

Step one : Look through Window
Step two : Break window
Step three : Lick seat
Step Four: Look at tongue in mirror

If tongue is orange you have persimmon seats.
