hello, once again i havea base 04, i got stuck in snow , and had my uncle attempting to pull the car our of a spot,(we all know how great the stock potenzas are in snom yea right!) anyway,i noticed that as one wheel would stop spinning . The other sides wheel would begin spinning and vise versa becasue of no traction. My question is i am aware that the base model doesnt have a LSD and this only occurs when a LSD is in place for both wheels to assist in traction. Is this normal for a base model. Or should i look underneath to see if this thing has a LSD even though its a showroom base model ??? im stumped

 

What you have described indicates that you do not have an LSD. A car equipped with an LSD will have both wheels moving whether or not there is any lost traction.

 

okay so both wheels, move, in the 350z to gain traction in the rear. This is not so in my old 240, .....only one wheel spinned there was nothing driving the other wheel to spin. My question is it normal for each tire to take turns moving in the Z without a lsd.

 

If I'm following you right, yes, the tire with the least amount of resistance will spin. But do not worry, even with the viscous (sp?) lsd, snow is a pain in the @ss. Some people have better luck with Blizzak tires.

 

Thanks i think my best bet is to get a nismo LSD and call it a day for extra traction efforts .
