Differential Identification

[SWAT Team S14]

So, a local guy is parting out a 97 240sx SE. Problem is, he doesn't know if it has an open diff or the VLSD. From my knowledge, if the 18th digit in the model # is A,C or F it's got VLSD....anything else & it's an open diff. Please verify, somebody. Thanks in advance.

Does it have ABS? That's all you need to ask him.

i believe the VLSD's have an orange sticker on the differential indicating it's not an open diff... i think lol... should be on the rear of the pumpkin

Correct. It could also be a "-" signifying a single tire fryer as well

The orange sticker is above the drain plug on the Pumpkin. Sometimes it falls off.
