limited slip differential... Which 350z's have it?
 
I've been all over the place (including this website) and I've got all different answers.

Bottom line is I'm buying a 350z and I want to know for sure which models and years HAVE limited slip differential.

I know I'm a noob here so thanks in advance guys!!!

350z Guy Jan 19, 2010 01:17 PM

ahaha prepare to put your flame suit on

make sure you read the FAQ, they have a detail specs on all the trims of the Z's, i know for sure the base model does not have LSD

BJJ Gi Choke Jan 19, 2010 01:21 PM

I know I'll get flamed, it's cool I understand. But here's the thing I have already looked at the detail specs in the top 100 questions and it does not say if for instance an 06 track has it or not.

But feel free to talk **** hahaha

PerfZ Jan 19, 2010 01:23 PM

All but the base unless I am mistaken. Certainly the Track since it was the top of the line and I know my Performance.
In before the lock!!

BJJ Gi Choke Jan 19, 2010 01:31 PM

A friend of mine (that knows a lot about cars) says he is almost 100% sure its only on the touring model...

cubic202 Jan 19, 2010 01:33 PM

Yeah my 05 base doesn’t have one and it will be one of my first purchases since I wish to track my car.

wasuber Jan 19, 2010 01:34 PM

Your friend is wrong, asingh1 answered your question completely.

dmroberson Jan 19, 2010 01:35 PM

Base models don't have VLSD, all others do.

BJJ Gi Choke Jan 19, 2010 01:37 PM

Ok so as long as I dont get base I'm good?

So that means:
Enthusiast, Track & Touring from 06 all have limited slip differentials?

Thanks again guys and if you know anyone in socal with an 06 silver, yellow or blue for sale let me know.

....how about reading some of the articles on the website? Maybe like the ones that are at the top of the 350z forum section... it says top 100 common questions.....every model except base has it. And if you're looking to buy a Z, check out Autotrader and Craigslist.

BJJ Gi Choke Jan 19, 2010 01:40 PM

Cool thanks a lot guys. I knew I would get a straight answer here...

Now it's time to spend those $100 bills!

newbie question. Easy way to tell the base vs others?

Cloth seats, manual, no cruise control,...etc

seven0thr33 Jan 19, 2010 03:45 PM

before I thought ALL the z33s and z34s come stock with LSD but apparently not.

BJJ Gi Choke Jan 19, 2010 04:28 PM

Friend should stick to Hondas. Why would they put a VLSD in the touring model but not the track? Hmm . . .

For the VLSD, yes, but if you plan on autox'ing or tracking the car, you'll need to upgrade the stock VLSD anyway. It may be simpler and cheaper to just start with a base if that's the case. I'm shocked the 370 NISMO still comes with the same-old lousy VLSD as all the others (plus it needs an oil cooler - STOCK).

Look for cruise control. Base has no VLSD or CC.
