okay, i finally checked my vin code for my transmission and i realy do have vlsd.. the code ends with a V, so how do i know if it's working or not? thanks

 

do a burnout
1 patch=not working
2 patch=working

 

Lay rubber!!!

edit : owned by 30 sec flood control

 

jack the car up, spin one tire counter clockwise, let us know what the other tire does

 

i'll do that.. but if it's working.. what is it suppose to do?

 

If its working, on slippery surface both wheels turn. Std car without lock cannot start to go forward IF ice patch under one wheel, (that ONE wheel is just spinning.)

 

But where's the fun in that???????

 

Lay rubber [on dry asphalt]:

1a. one blk streak on asphalt = no lock
2a. two blk streaks on asphalt = yess! lock
3a. no blk streak(s) on asphalt = horses got flu...

1b. Buy lock
2b. Enjoy
3b. Pay dirty at $tealerShip

1c. No fun, Mama hit u
2c. Real fun for six seconds, cops get u, Mama hit u
3c. Mama hit u

 

Actaully it's been confirmed by many 4-gen guys with no lsd. They can lay 2 patches of rubber on a dry road.

 

um, the only way I know of that happening is if your differential isn't working correctly.

 

Yea, good point. Only on dry?

On slippery roads I have never seen that happen.

 

There must be alot of broken yet functional 4-gen open 5-sp diff then right?

Think about it. Open diff transfers power to the wheel with more slip. But on dry, both wheels are =.

 

Slippery roads are diff of course. But then again the VLSD only transfers up to about 30%. Nothing to get too excited about

 

I did think about it and even searched for info on diffs to confirm or disprove that statement.
couldn't find any.
if what you say is true then why won't a VG spin both?
or for that matter any other car I can recall :scratchhead:

not that your above statement doesn't make sense, because it does make sense in theory.
just in practice I don't remember it happening.

 

No. Not excited... My 1.2L Opel beats maxima 10-0 on snow... tires 13x145 lol - I mean bmw drivers get a stroke when they stay wheels fuming stationary at streets lights as I pass 'em from the left.

 

So, which models come with VLSD, anyway? I know my Max has it (I've done the "burnout test" a few times), I'm just curious.

does torque steer say anything about the vlsd? because going from first to second at wot i get major torque steer. oh yea, one question about jackin up the car and turning one wheel counterclockwise, if i do that.. what will the other wheel do? will the other wheel that i'm NOT turning not move? or would it move in the same direction as i turn it? or the counter direction of the direction i'm turning it? thanks

 

That major torque steer is probably due to your lower control arm bushings and/or ball joints needing replacement.

internetautomar sells all that crap.

 

okay after raising the car up and changing my front springs, i turned my wheel counter clockwise just as MrGone say to do, and they both go in the same direction. does that mean the Vlsd is working? thanks

 

bumpo to my question i would like an answer

 

yeap

At least in std car that does not happen: opposite wheel turns to other direction.

Its working when one wheel is on ice, oil -or- whatever slick, and u still can start moVing as easily as both were on dry.

Raise only one front wheel up. Start engine, gear on, clucth off [if manual] and gass it... If car starts moving, THEN it works.

 

Umm... ok so what's going on here. My VG spins both tires equally... on dry and wet. Marks have proven as much.

 

maybe nissan has something different than most in their differentials.

 

I have no idea either... my Max has surprised me yet again. I just hope one of these surprises one day isn't the engine blowing sky high on me.
