Ok my friend bought a open diff from someone and when I popped it open to inspect it, and there it was; an LSD. Now from all the pics I've searched through, I assume this is a Kaaz 2-way, but I'm not sure. Is there a Kaaz badge somewhere on this LSD to know for sure? Thanks in advance.

that looks like a factory vlsd to me.

I dont know about that being factory. The factory vlsd has a cast style to the casing. Thats a 2 way for sure. Looks like my ATS, but also looked like my old Cusco as well. You'll never know until you check out the clutch plates on the inside because they make the casing look all the same. Plate size and shape are different sometimes from different companies.

definately not a factory VLSD. but from the looking at it, it looks to be a kaaz lsd.

Ok so basically, I just have to open it and check the clutches?

Anyone got a pic of a vlsd?

i know for a fact that isn't a vlsd. Go google you should fine a pic. I know when I opened up a VLSD that it did not look like that.

I actually I did google and search this forum and the closest thing I can match it up with is a Kaaz, but I wanted to find out if there were any badges somewhere hidden to confirm it. Thanks...

doesnt look like a cusco at all... Ive had 2 different ones.

cusco diffs have larger oil ports and "rings" that are imprinted around the casing

It is a 2 way tho... you can tell by the diamond cut cam seen through the oil ports

Did that rear end come off a red S14? If so, I know the current owner and the previous owner. The previous owner showed my friends the KAAZ box in which that LSD came from, so I pretty sure its a KAAZ.

Yeah I think the tomei lsd's are also marked, I guess this is a Kaaz unit.
No Truse-R this came off a white s14.

I thought I closed this.

Oh well. There's an 'Identify this' thread for a reason.
