The Limited Edition 1999 10th Anniversary Edition NB8A had LSD from the factory, but the standard 1999 Aust delivered NB8A didn't.

yep, unless you have the limited edition one it's just a standard open diff.

take off on some wet pavement, you'll definitely feel it grab if there's a torsen in there
