How is it I can find out if I have the lsd in my 96 gle, or not?? I may need to get some new axles, so they need to know that.... It has no abs... and some times both tires smoke at the track when smokin them.... I am running 100 shot zex wet kit, with a XTD 6 puck clutch, I am guessing now that the weekest link is now the axles, i better get some spares, you know...

 

Well, you converted it to 5-speed, what trans did you put in?

 

I'm sure there is a way, but here is the ghetto way; from a dead stop pull out into the road making a right turn while at 4000+ rpm, if it pulls to the left, no lsd.

 

not converted!!! stock..

 

gles dont come in a 5 speed.....you either have a gle with a 5 speed swap or the person that sold it to you lied and told you it was a gle when it is a gxe.

 

 

LOL

10char

 

busted!!! n why run wet when dry is a lot safer??? i mean, i'd rather get a supercharger than zex or nos it, but y wet???? n doesn't usually lsd have a button that lets u turn it on or off??

 

LSD isn't something you activate. Dry shot causes you to run lean as you launch...it's harder on the car for that instant. Both have their advantages and pitfalls.

 

I hope your post was entirely sarcasm

 

do you have fog lights, leather and chorme door handles? if so....than its possible that it is a gle coverted to a 5 speed. If you dont have fog lights than my guess is it's a gxe. Every gle comes with leather fog lights and chrome door handles. GXE's come with chrome door handles and leather is optional.

 

ya. me too.

 

hmm, thinking you don't have a GLE. Drop the transmission and look for a part number.

 

i'm glad you guys felt my sarcasm. except the supercharger part, i'd rather save my money for that then have to rip my block apart cause i blew a piston or something. main reason why he did nos or zex is cause its about $600 - $1000 where the supercharger is anywhere between $2200-$3000. i know that LSD can't be turned off. it was kinda sarcasm for TCS. maybe since he got confused whether or not he has a gle or gxe, he got confused about having lsd or tcs.

 

I have a 97 GLE, leather and chrome door handles, but i don't have no foglights.

 

I thought US models don't come with LSD, whereas my Canadian model, 5-speed, is LSD. Jack both front wheels up and spin one; if both turn you have LSD, if only the one you spun turns you don't have LSD, simple as thought. Isn't that common knowledge on this Board?

 

I bought my GLE new in 96. I do not remember LSD being an option on the automatic I have (wife can't drive a stick). Fog lights were not standard either. Chrome door handles, leather seats, auto climate control and a power passenger seat were if I remember...

 

9 years same car... true maxima enthusiast!!!

 

wrong

if both turn the same direction it's probably lsd

if the turn opposite directions it's probobly not lsd

I say probable becuse other factors can make an non lsd appear to be a lsd

 

I have LSD and confirmed it with the dealer. I have also recently done what I described above and both wheels turned the same direction.

I don't believe that in a non-LSD car the wheels will turn in opposite direction.

 

That there is screwed up, i got my zex kit for 200 bucks brand new.. still in the box, thank you very much... he needed money for his moms cars he wrecked asap... LOL my score..... and about the gle/gxe, i ment gxe i need to change that in my profile.. thank you all for the sarcasm, and laughs...... I am glad i made some people laugh.....

 

They do. No kidding. (at least on rear wheel drive).

 

Just tested it YES they do turn in opposite directions!!! cool and wierd :P

 

Well, there you go. This is the only front-wheel drive car I've owned and it happens to be LSD.

 

not fair i want las too

 

i mean LSD

 

ooo i thought gles came with fogs....i guess not.

 

in the stickies it will tell you the difference between the GXE, SE and GLE .. I have an SE but they were telling me and even the title says its a GLE but it is stock with fog lights and body colored door handles and a spoiler, and its a 5-speed so i know its an SE

 

us models no limited slip, gle is known by auto and chrome window trim, if your car has a gle thing on the back then its the wrong badge and your an idiot
you shouldnt run the rice juice either

 

hahah rice juice that si funny you have no idea what your talking about it was devolped for world war 2 purposes as liek an after burner, then made its way to the dragstrip in the 70's mostly for american muscle not "rice juice"

 

Could you please type a little more coherently? You half sound like a caveman.

If he has a GLE badge and he just bought the car, did you ever think that maybe he probably doesn't know a whole lot about Maximas yet to know the difference? Don't be calling people idiots when you can't even form sentences.

...and "rice juice"? Yeah, I'll just back up what sterlingmax said already.

 

WTF! Is this going to be an intellectual debate between two 16-year olds? It should prove to be entertaining at least. Come on, sdoherty, show tatanko you can form a coherent sentence. Quite frankly, I have read some of his posts and have seen a lot worse spelling and grammar demonstrated.

 

Uhhh...no. Just something that bugged me. I also greatly dislike when a member is an *** to another member for seemingly no reason at all. No reason to insult him, we're here to help, not bash.

Now back on topic...

 

Good point! I am waiting for a rebuttal, lol!

 

Easy there rmurdoch, Tatenko is a well respected member of this board, and puts to shame people 2x, & 3x his age.

Someones sig is way too big on the 1st page too Imamashyou, well Imma report you.

GLEs = No 5 speed.
95's didn't have the GLE emblem in back stock either

Don't worry murdoch, I beleive you about the LSD, b/c you're canuk.

 

I'm not knocking tatanko, I'm simply wanting to be entertained! And I'll try not to bring up my mileage today (oops, maybe have done it once already), lol.

 

Yes you already did .. But so did I


... Tatanko > sdoherty_tjm simple as that

 

okay, lsd doesnt come on the american distributed maximas. in canada they are because of all the snow. american maximas have an open dif. so when one wheel starts to spin, that wheel gets 100% of the power, thats why some maxima burnouts have only one wheel. but, since you mentioned two wheel burnouts it is very possible, but in order for it to happen, the wheels have to be perfectly straight, and have the same amount of traction. so just because you can do a two wheel burnout does not mean you have a lsd. now i didnt call him an idiot for not knowing maxima specifics, but he should have done some research, like no manual gle. but the main reason is because he must not have checked then vin # online. i did when i got mine.

okay "rice juice" being like all the ricers who mod a car and put nos on it. drag cars were meant to take that, some civic isnt. oh and especially the ones with auto's. but thats okay.


so did i explain myself well enough for you tatanko??

 

I thought I'd let you know sdoherty_tjm that the notion that all of Canada lies under a blanket of snow for much of the year is false. Where I'm from we may have one or two snow falls a winter and the rain generally takes it away the next day or at most a week later. Consequently, I have no rust on my car.

Don't be afraid to start a sentence with a capital letter!

 

i do know that rmurdoch, but have you ever tried to drive your max through a gravel parking lot with 8 inches of snow?
you need a lsd not open otherwise you get screwed if you loose your momentum
