New I30 Owner - do I have a VLSD?
Hi,
I recently purchased a '96 i30 5spd with 85,000 miles, and I was wondering if all these cars came with a limited slip differential? If not how do I know if mine is equipped with one?
It also has an aftermarket sunroof that doesn't work, does anyone have a basic wiring diagram for these? It is a One (Toggle type) switch open close with five wires at the switch. If it is broken how hard are these to replace? Must the headliner come off completely?
Thanks
Marco

That is what I had read at www.Nissannews.com a while back, but they now long have their archive vehicles listed so I could not confirm that. Best way to know is to look at the tranny code stamped on the firewall, per the FAQ's.
Actually in the FAQ:
It states all "t" have VLSD ...

There were three basic models of I30's
The "S" model, or standard model. Came standard with a 5spd, cloth interior, no sunroof, no heated seats, no spoiler, no homelink, no auto dim mirror, but it did have the Bose as did all I30's. The VSLD could be purchased on the standard model but it would be very rare to see one.
The "Leather" model. had leather, sunroof, bose...all the goodies. This is the most common I30. It is the only or the three models that had an auto tranny as standard equipment. VSLD could be gotten as an additional option.
The "T" model. Every option including the cold weather package which had VSLD standard. The only additional option not included in the "t" package was the auto tranny.
These were just basic pakages the dealers offerd, but from my expierence an I30 can come just about anyway if the customer wanted it like that. But I would say 90% of the I30 are the "leather" model with the auto tranny.

I have only seen two of the cloth standard models- one with an auto trans and one with stick, and most i30ts I have seen have the auto transmission. My friend drives a 96 i30t with a manual and every option possible, except the cold weather package (I think, he has no controls for heated mirrors, but does have heated seats).
The heated mirrors have no contols. He probably has heated mirrors if he has heated seats.
