celiabaker Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I didn't think my import had an LSD but the 11s it made (on private road) now I'm not sure? http://s350.photobucket.com/user/Celiabaker/media/B7DCD87F-CE1B-4253-8029-BC0CE14ACC8B_zpst6ui3bus.jpg.html http://s350.photobucket.com/user/Celiabaker/media/BCAEE9A2-50DD-4E6A-BFC3-B928B04FC3E1_zpsjpfulada.jpg.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did a small burn out and then rolled back and did a bigger one. (Just to make sure you no) couldn't just leave it! 😂🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88 Zed Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I've got a JDM and it's got an LSD and brembos It's just as good as a UK model only cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to jack up the car and spin the wheels to make shore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Just look underneath the bumper, you will soon see if its got a diff or not, post a picture up if your not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The jdm cars mostly have diffs without cooling fins so you can't tell from looking at the casing I believe. But a burn out will tell you lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Non LSD can do a burn out I believe, its only turning and doing it they struggle with i.e drifting or doughnuts. I did a quick google of "can you do a burn out wihout lsd". But I'm not 100% sure and I know that not everything you read on the net is true.

Strudul Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Open diff can do burnouts, it's getting 2 wheels to spin rather than 1 that's hard. Not too hard in a straight line when each wheel has the same resistance, but not gonna happen when cornering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 My import had a LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Jack up the rear of the car with both wheels off the ground. With the car in neutral turn one wheel by hand. If the other turns the SAME direction it is an LSD. Edited May 21, 2017 by leonk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to jack up the car and spin the wheels to make shore! Do it! Looks like you might be in luck by your pics tho, I've put the alpine car play system in mine and it has AC, I guess I got really lucky with my import! It's just a shame people see them as a lesser car than the uk models 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark261288 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Mine is a base spec jdm. (No brembos, no cruise and cloth seats) but if I jack the back end up and turn one wheel the other goes in the same direction so Im guessing it got a lsd. After reading on here I always just assumed it wouldn't have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Controversially off topic but JDM's rule in my opinion. My last 16 out of 30 motoring years and 2 out of 9 cars are/were JDM, so perhaps I'm a little biased. Some say UK spec is better, but that is just peer pressure snobbery, possibly fostered by the UK sales network. My 03 zed was cheaper to buy relatively, has LSD, VDC, Brembos, HIDs, tilt/fold mirrors, quality stainless Fujitsubo, and cheap road tax as standard. Only thing mine didn't have was heavy leather seats, archaic satnav or a Bose cassette playing stereo. Underseal is easily fixed with a couple of tins of Dynax - and JDMs are usually in great condition when recently imported. JDMs are cheaper and often make MUCH better platforms for upgrades e.g. they have stuff you don't mind replacing and bigger (or more flexible) ECU flash sizes with dynamic tuning. Don't get that in certain UK cars. JDM Square licence plate bumpers look better too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM Square licence plate bumpers look better too Agreed, I paid a lot less for my Zed than I would if it was a uk car, it's got VSC, brembos, LSD, AC, HIDs, it's been undersealsed but no leather or jap nav! From what people say their JDMs are equipped with on here I think it's down to an options list rather than a spec sheet? They seem to be very varied. My only worry with them is that the millages can be fiddled with when they are imported and swapped to MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
