dr_jekyll Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 if you have a n/a supra you dont have an lsd atall, not unless its one of the later facelift models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 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............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 e-jza80-almvf w58 a01b 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 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 so looks like iv got a rare N/A lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradriver Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Active would mean "Torque Sensing", which is what Torsen is short for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 so looks like iv got a rare N/A lol 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.
