Limited Slip Differential??

Limited Slip Differential??
Out of curiousity I was wondering if all 4th gen's come with a
limited slip differential and if not, which years/models come with
it. All I know is that my '99 ES/SE comes with it as a standard
option.
btw, I live in Canada if that makes any difference.

My guess is that it does, its a 1999 Euro Market Nissan, but I'm not sure, never dealt with the Euro Maximas, only Asian Cefiros which dont come with 5spds most often
and yes i know where Bahrain is I've been to Dubai a couple times.
someone will have a more functional way to see if ur max has LSD
take care, and btw, nice car

Look at the spec plate in the engine compartment, on the fire wall. The axle code ends with A or X. I believe the X is limited slip. There is a previous post on this.

V = Viscous LSD

LSD, really isn't worth the hype. I would rather have the lighter car than the LSD, well in the winter it is nice....
BTW... the video's on RoaDBeaSt's site are crazy... the play back must be off... or those maxima's are fueled by rocket propelant and SRB's because they sound like turbine engines and go like 900mph... pretty sweet downloads...

Then I have done all of these things ..
These cars that you saw I can make them hit the break with out NOS ..
My car is something else now ..
The lexsus raced him for 2.25 mile ..
The supra raced him 1.5 mile ..
Both of them was druffting in me
My race with supra it was raining that's why I wasn't be able to play in the road ..

I would imagine that the fine would be hefty... but unless they use jet planes I don't think they are catching up to them...he he he
I was just impressed by the speed, I didn't know thats at the end of a 2 mile track... even an infiniti could get going fast after 2 miles.

I like the intake how it makes the car pull right to the rev limit. I am auto and its especially noticable in second gear, because 1st its too quick to notice that much. I wonder what a normal US intake manifold would be like. My friend has a VE and it runs out at high rpm. This is probably omething the US guys could look at with their intakes. Even though my car is a VQ25DE, The normal intakes re rated at 160hp, but mine is from Japan and rated at 190. Dynoed, it was at140hp at front wheels. A lot of people nderestimate my car here. A lot of people also under estimate Japenese cars here as well/

Yeah sure many times I have three intake mani ..
One of them the one came with my orignial engine I mean the one that I got it from agent ..
I have two other engine because I may goboom the engine any time
It's something that increase the air after the 5000 rpm that's why my Maxima is 220 HP I think so ..
And my car has a littel diffrent sound that yours guys my engine sound like a turbo at 3000 rpm but I don't know if I can make you listen to this sound because it's weak I only the one who hear it
And we are diffrent than Saudi Arabia ..
You can do what ever in Bahrain I mean like going to bar or drinking what ever you want ..
But in Saudi Arabia the will kill you we are totly diffrent in everything ..
We wear jenz and t-shirt like yours ..
Many of us knows how to speak English very well ..
Don't think that we ride with camel

jack it up from the center motor brace up front , spin one wheel with it in neutral (I think, might work in gear) and the other should spin in the same direction if you have a limited slip , if it turns in the opposite direction you have a regular (open) diff

As far as I know roadbeast and I are the only ones here with this type of intake. The peice on the top is a chamber type thing with trap doors. These trap doors open and shut by a vacum operated diphram type thing on the end. It opens at about 5000 rpm. this does something to the airflow and gives the car way way more pull in high rpm. For instance at 4900 rpm, the car is pulling, at 5500 the car has a lot more when it should be running out of pull (if you know what I mean) Im not sure if there is something else different that gives us more power (eg something different in the ecu?). I dynoed my vq25de and it was max 141hp at the wheels. I cant get a print out because the dyno was pretty crap and only had an analogue gauge that you had to look at while the car was accelerating. It couldn't tell us the torque

Roadbeast, your English is good. I was just joking about the traffic laws. I don't think you ride camels, either! Heck, a lot of folks in the United States think that the people here in Tennessee do not wear shoes! (We do.) It is very nice to hear from a fellow Maxima owner on the other side of the planet. I appreciate you. Take care.

A lot has to do with the intake. The Maxima heads, (US Spec) flow really good from the factory. With a port and valve job on the Maxima heads, you will need to open up the intake.
The shorter the runners on any given intake, the more power you make in the high rpms. The longer the runner, the more low end power you make. Typically, the Infinity Maxima or the Ciefero (spelling?) have a little bit wider, and somewhat shorter runners, and are a different design. This gives them the upper RPM range power.
Imagine sucking a malt shake thru a coffee stirrer. Won't do too well. Thats how a lot of heads, are like in comparison to intake manifolds. The US Spec Manifold is great for what it is, but if you went with a different design, you would see a world of difference.

Just Kidding. I guess everyone has stereotypes depending on where they live though.
