what sort of lsd do we have?

[supradriver]

what sort of lsd do we have? is it the clutch one or the one that works of the abs.

[dr_jekyll]

if you have a n/a supra you dont have an lsd atall, not unless its one of the later facelift models.

[supradriver]

i have a N/A and i do have LSD

[supradriver]

it says so on my vin plate

[Jake]

Do you even have ABS?

 

 

What has ABS got to do with LSDs anyway?

[supradriver]

i dunno i do know i have lsd

[dr_jekyll]

what year is the car ? iv never seen a n/a with a lsd from the factory younger than a 97, and there still few and far between

[RobSheffield]

i dunno i do know i have lsd

 

How?

[G-NEMIE]

use the decode your vin plate tool, here

mine is a Torsen LSD

[supradriver]

i have done it i also have torsen lsd and i have a 1994

[dr_jekyll]

well if you have the torsen on a 94 n/a from the factory that rare as rocking horse sh*t

[supradriver]

well it must be rare as rocking horse sh*t. i promiss you my vin plate says its got from factory

[RobSheffield]

Whats the axle code?

 

NOT the vin code - dont post that!

[Scooter]

i think its fairer to say quite rare.............all SZ-R's have them and it was an option (although i agree not one taken up that much) on all NA's.............

[supradriver]

it also Confirms the year too

[Scooter]

E-JZA80-ALMSF

 

W58 A01B

 

 

possibly?

[supradriver]

e-jza80-almvf

Thats a Torsen diff, they were available from 93 cars onwards as optional equipment on the SZ and were standard on the SZ-R (94 onwards). Yours is an SZ so the original buyer must have specified it, pretty rare TBH.

 

Edit - Just realised Scooter already said that. oh well!

[supradriver]

so looks like iv got a rare N/A lol

[supradriver]

so what sort do we have then

 

A torque active (clutch type) LDS which senses the amount of load OR the electronically controlled slip diff which uses the anti lock brake sensor to monitor independent wheel speed

I'm almost certain there isn't an electronically controlled LSD available on the MKIV Supra.

 

The only different stock LSD is the facelift one which uses a different type of gear mechanism.

You answered your own question. Torque Active would mean "Torque Sensing", which is what Torsen is short for.

[Homer]

Not really, it's a rare option, the car itself is not rare

 

It's a Torsen LSD, so still not that great compared to modern ones. I've never been very impressed with the stock LSD the Supra's come with. I have yet to drive one with a (proper) clutch type diff but imagine it's a huge improvement.

Well, as nearly all NAs (inc yours judging from you engine bay pic in your garage) don't have ABS. . .

[supradriver]

what would i be looking for under the bonet too see if i have ABS:search:
