Looking at my spec sheet on my car I have a supra LSD fitted to my car. I am not so sure though. Will let you know when I open the bugger up.

Speaking of LSD's... I took these pictures from an Aristo half-cut but it has no serial numbers or part numbers or any indication of what it actually is... Can anyone tell if this is an actual Aristo LSD?

It looks like a standard 4.08 open diff just like mine. The LSD pumpkins had some heat fins on the sides of it, not just the back like that one. Of course without opening it up I can't say definatively.

yup open it up is the only way. You had a look at the number on the vin plate if the axle code has a B on it you already have an LSD

The torsen diff only works if both tires are planted on the ground. If for some reason you had one tire lift off the ground from jumping the car, thats where you would have a problem

The half cut that I got had the B axle code so I was really disappointed when I opened up the diff and it was open.

I'm guessing it's an open diff.
