What is a LSD good for. I have a plain I30, so I doubt I have it. Would I find any gains? Where is the firewall any way, Id like to make sure I dont have one!

The LSD is good for a lot better traction than an open differential. I transfers energy from the spinning wheel to the non-spinning wheel. In essence, when drag racing you spin both wheels when you take off vs only one without LSD so much better traction and hopefully 60' times. That is a pretty simplified version of what it really does but you get the idea.
Check this out if you want really want to know how it works.

I bought my I30t used and I think the previous owner took the LSD out. If I'm going up a hill and it is wet, i can peel out till the sun comes out. If i floor it on a wet surface, I do a one wheel peel out. I checked my firewall before, it says RE4F04V. 
Maybe I can take it back to Infiniti and have it checked, but thats gonna cost me

My 96 i30 5spd (non touring) has it. The tranny code is different from you guys have posted though. I think we have determined that all 5spd i30s have it, and all i30t models have it, regardless of the tranny. I have not yet seen anybody with a non-touring auto that has it.
Another way to check, if you have a 16" spare (Infiniti folks) it is highly likely that you have it.
The greatest benefit I have percieved so far has been when accelerating very hard out of corners, there is very little wheel spin. You can feel the inside tire trying to break loose, but all that power is sent to outside tire.....feels VERY nice!!!

My 96 I30T has it. I know for a fact and I could tell the fist time I drove it. I remember an article I found when researching my car before I bought it. It was written before the I30 was released but it said it was VSLD was going to be an option for the Touring package along w/ the heated seats and such. I think Nissan changed it's mind. I have heard on this forum from people like Fst96se that that have a non Touring 5-speed and have VSLD. I think he is correct about all 5-speed having it. I don't think it would be worth installing, although it's really nice having it.
It's odd having a 16" spare?

A Little side note, I sold my stock BBS wheels and tires off my T on Ebay for $400. You think I got a good price? They are actually really rice stock wheels, although their not the best looking. I am starting to think I should have kept them for these Chicago winters.

I'm sure the diameter of the tires are the same, wouldn't you think?

I have thought about getting the T wheels for mine, and putting a spoiler on it!
I put 99 i30 headlights on last night, looks 100 times better.

Wow, ya, you did get a good price for them! Were the tires in nice shape? I sell my cars quick enough that if I bought nice aftermarket wheels I want to keep my factory ones to put back on for a sale.

If I were you I would get the spoiler, it makes a big diff. As far as the T wheels, you would just be getting 1/2" wider wheels and thats it. I would get some 17"
I am jealous about the headlights! How much $ for them. Did you get them from salvage or dealership. I did the clearing of the front corners and I should not have. Did not go as well as the back.
Did you ever clear your tails?

I will do the spoiler before too long.
The 99 Headlights I got with the cornering lamps and the turn signals. I had a cracked cornering lamp. I got everthing last night, put the heads in and was replacing the cornering lamp. I couldn't get it to go in and forced....yup, broke a tab off the back. So I will need to do the super glue thing and hope that fixes it. I will PM you with how much I paid. They were off of a wrecked i30, but had some pitting from road debri. Still, looks 100 times better! I took a bunch of pics, but I can't find my downloading cable for my camera! I will post pics before too long.
I also did a custom radar detector install by the rear view! Fun!
