i dont even see this as an option on nissan's website anymore and i could have sworn it used to be an option only on auto's.

 

i got lsd with my car but i got it when the 6gen max came out in 2003, i have a 6spd

 

yea i did to i got mine in like may/june of 03 and i could have sworn that you couldn't get the 6spd with the limited slip. what option/packages do you have.

 

LSD use to be standard w/ 6 speed 6th gen when first few months of 04 production. Don't know why Nissan did away with it. Alti SE-R 6spd had them in the beginning too.

 

i am pretty sure i dont have this, is there a way to find out?

 

From what I remember, only the early 04 manuals where offered with a LSD, it was not an option available for any version of the automatic's.

 

Yes. do burn outs and see tire marks

 

Gerealizing here, LSD makes FWD cars tougher to trun. 1 way LSD works best in FWD, but uneven driveshafts counter the effect a bit.

 

Thread hijack for a sec:


RHMax, most LSD's will only engage when one wheel is slipping. By slipping I mean one wheel is spinning faster then the other. The clutch packets wined up until a set of toothed coupling engage, that engagement locks the wheels up. Most “good” LSD’s work after the spinning wheel completes 1 1/2 ~ 2 full revolutions, and then the nonspinning wheel will engage. This is also called a Differential locker, and does not effect your turning ability under normal driving environments. If you had a spool or e-locker I promise you the turning ability will be effected. Using a spool, on the gas, and attempting to make a turn will cause one of the tires to skid, chirp, hop, and clunk – an awful noise, all this because it’s spinning slower then the faster wheel and there is no play with a spool or e-locker. on a flip side, drag racing. A straight line and perfect that for that kind of driving.

 

I believe the term I used was "generalizing". When you turn w/ FWD cars, the outside wheel spins faster than the inside wheel. So when you add gas to get out of turn, the wheels are still "slipping" thus your "slipping" point goes here. Once you are used to having LSD in FWD, you'd adjust your driving style. Try driving Integra GSR versus Type-R. Similar reason to why only RWD cars with ample power come w/ stock LSD,so they can push their way out of a turn.

 

In 2005 Nissan exchanged LSD on manual 6 speeds to,Vehicle Dynamic Control and full size spare

Electronics are cheaper.

 

Actually, I asked my dealer's service rep and Nissan replaced the LSD with VDC due to complaints from noises it was apparently making. Not all the LSD's had this problem, but I was lucky enough to pick up my car in March 03 so I have LSD. No noise issues for me. So from that respect maybe electronics were cheaper

 

myself with a 6spd really prefer an "open" final drive. With the torque steer I think it is actually a little easier on the driveline. I have not driven one with a LSD but just from my experiences think it would really affect the way it handles and drives through the gears.

 

All 04 6sp in Canada came with LSD.
