yes you can add HLSD if your car has an open diff
pop open your hood...there is a silver metal plate on your firewall...it will say ENGINE VQ35DE....then below it is the transmission code....at the end of the code, if it says A, then its an open diff....if it says H then its a locking diff (HLSD)

might be a horrible question, but can you add it too?

then you have HLSD. If they look different then you don't.

That being said, Mass Media, have you ever jacked the front up and spun one wheel? On HLSD equipped cars, when you spin on wheel, the other is supposed to spin in the opposite direction. I have a transaxle code ending in "H" and I called Nissan to verify that I have HLSD but don't recall mine ever doing that when I spin the wheels.

I just assumed I had it since I always get two stripes and not one.
But I don't have an H or A in the code.

2 In my gold car when i pulled out of my parking lot i could turn the wheel to the right, floor it and smoke my passenger side up. Now when i try it both tires smoke up, and my whole front end kind of slides.

it's highly unlikely that someone would swap the firewall plate...

Also, as I have mentioned before, you cannot confirm you have a helical if your car is up on a lift. Both wheels will not be locked to each other and will each spin freely or opposite each other. The helical only works when torque is applied to the ring gear itself.
