    Default How do I find out if vp S pack has an LSD

    Im from NZ and just bought a VP commodore S pack yesterday in Manual for $1741 (NZD). First off how well does this price compare to your prices over in OZ? I find it impossible to find a manual vn - vs for anything under $2500 let alone a nice s pack. Exterior paint is a bit rough and clutch is getting tired but otherwise its a bloody good car.

    Anyway question time: Whats the easiest way to find out if its LSD without having to do skids everywhere. Is there a code in the VIN, or is there a number on the plate on the wall, or just looking at the DIFF can i tell if its LSD, or is it stamped particular numbers on the diff?

    Just want to know if this is a decent S pack i should think about bringing upto a good standard and keeping, or if i should just tidy it up a bit and on sell it and keep my 94 berlina with full hsv body kit (but its auto).

    Cheers guys

    rip a skid.

    but seriously

    crawl under the car and look at the dif, if the filler plug has a tag that says "high performance" or similar, it should be LSD

    you could also try and find the build sheet (under carpaet of front passenger footwell) and look at the option codes.

    normally if its factory lsd then it has a plate saying it on the diff, otherwise, jack up the car so both rear wheels are off the ground, spin the wheel with your hand, both wheels should spin in n the same direction if its a lsd, open wheelers spin opisite ways

    Just put one tyre on grass and one tyre on bitumen, just give a bit of throttle, if car moves forward then it has an LSD.
