choleaoum Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hey how's it going, I got a few differentials for free from a transaction. They all have different tags such as 213, 214, 140, and etc. How do I know which has a lsd? And etc. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Assume the diffs are out of the vehicles??? Turn the wheel while someone holds the other. If the driveshaft flange turns but not the other side it's an open diff. If both wheels turn but the same direction then LSD. Very unlikely you'll find an LSD diff. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 If you have the complete rear axle assembly you can do like Mike says. Diff? You mean the 3rd-member (pumpkin)? Just look at it, if you can't see the spider gears, it's an LSD: Open diff -- side gears and spider gears visible: Limited-Slip diff (spider gears hidden): Quote Link to comment
choleaoum Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks for the help guys, some have axles, and some dont. As for identification I'm also wondering how do I know if it's a r160 r200 and etc. I'm going to open then all up and clean it but just curious to how to identify the diff. Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 if someone wouldnt mind, perhaps they could post a list of which datsuns (if any?) came stock with or had the option of lsd? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 R160 vs R180 -- just measure the diameter of the Ring Gear (160mm vs 180mm) Here is the list of Datsuns with factory LSD: 1 Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 hahaha really!? awww man. guess thats another thing i gotta research & buy Quote Link to comment
choleaoum Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 You tricked me there. I thought there was a error in the link hahaha. I'm going to tear apart and measure the differential. Quote Link to comment
