Gs300 and not sure on the year. But it is a 1st gen so whatever the year range is on that. But yes...it's from a 6 cylinder. The ls400 is a 93. And like I said I just need it to move. Won't be my DD till I get a ls400 diff. I work at a scrap yard and one came in with only that as an issue. And my bad if it's the wrong forum...my phone is limited on what I saw as options

Let me sum that up. Want to know if a 1st gen GS300 differential will fit into a 93 ls400 as a temporary fix to just get it out of the yard without worrying about towing it out.

the two inspection covers are different part numbers 4118150010 & 4118124020..
just check with a dealer for gasket part number.
