LSD, How do I know what has it?
I am looking at 350z's, all years, and I am accustomed to a limited slip rear end. How do i know which ones would have it? I am only looking at 6 speeds... I have heard that the g35's all have it if you get a manual, is this true? is it the same for the 350z?
Lastly, does it actually matter that much on these??
New guy, thanks for the help.

1) Base-model is only model that has open-diff. If you're not sure on model, during test-drive, shift into second at high-rev. If no LSD, your back-end will fishtail (alternative: accelerate while making 90-degree turn. Car will feel like it's standing still).
2) You need a LSD, if you want to even be a little aggressive. See 1) above.
3) If possible, get a base, and then get an after-market Quaife LSD ($1400), which is superior to the VLSD that comes with the other models.

+1 simple easiest answer. Buttons on steering wheel =LSD

how loud is the Quaife LSD, i heard an aftermarket lsd is not worth the mod because its so annoying and not ideal for daily driving?

If the car has TCS/VDC then you have a LSD on there. If u dont have that feature then you dont have a LSD. The only model that doesnt come with TCS/VDC is the base. Common sense.

Look, in the case if theZ, this is not difficult. If its a base, it doesn't have LSD. All other trim levels do.
