Ok so here's the low down,

I bought a 180sx type X a while ago but the body has been crashed, I mainly bought it for most of the parts, and then I bought a rolling body to transfer the parts off the type X onto.

Now I know the type X has a LSD (I think R200?) 3x2, and the new rolling body has a Diff (not sure if its LSD or not) but its also 3x2, now when I turn the center of that diff both wheels turn, and when I get someone to hold one side still its really hard to turn, does that mean I have a locky or a LSD and how do I tell what model diff it is?

I also have a R33 R200LSD 5x1 with axles (and drive shaft)

Which diff should I use? I hard R33 diffs need the back plate changed?

if they both turn the same way by spinning one side, if it has a orange or yellow sticker that says vlsd, but if you crack it open and it looks like this it is open diff
