All turbo S13s came with the R200 LSD.

It may be worn and or slipping badly, depending on how your car has been treated and/or how many kms it has done.

However, some people put a different centre in the stock housing so without opening it up it can sometimes be tricky to figure it out.

Best way to find out is in your local industrial area at 2am. :lol:

LOL!

or just jack it up and spin one wheel, if its got lsd, both wheels should spin.

normal diff oil is fine, i cant remember the exact rating but castrol have a diff oil i think 75 or 80/90w. i use to put VMX80 in my old onevia which had a locked diff in it. never skipped a beat.

Put the rear of the car in the air and try turning the rear wheels at the sime time in oppiset directions of each other :P

Or if you know what ur doing, pull off the diff cover and have a look or post up a pic and you will know.
