spin one side of the axle stub while holding the other side,if they both spin the same direction then its lsd.

The coolest way is go burnout and tell your friend to look at your tires. If both your tires are smokin' you got lsd, if one is smokin' you obviously dont.

Base does not come in auto, so it has to have VLSD!

That doesn't always work...in a equal traction situation with an open diff car both will spin.

I've done two wheel burnouts in many different open diff vehicles.

I believe this is still correct as all 5AT equipped cars at one point shipped with the VLSD and I would imagine this is still the case today with the newer model years.

all 5AT final drives on the 350z have the VLSD...

the 5AT VLSD will NOT bolt up to 3.5/3.9 Ring and pinion gear sets...
