Would a 99 3.0 v6 elite come with a LSD or just a standard diff

Car was registered 31/12/99 that's what is on v5 plus omega elite v6. I should have asked how would you find out if it had a LSD fitted.

If I take off hard at a corner and keep control she will go snaking down the road. Had a skyline before an she done the same. Haven't tried to diff it yet as it's an auto (soon to be manual) but if it doesn't have one would they be hard to find

If you know what your looking for and know what an LSD feels like, I'd stop somewhere, heavy right or left lock & boot it. Driven x-plods with LSD's fitted, you can tell straight away through your arse!

I know that any rwd without LSD just dozzes on. It's just being an auto with no clutch i haven't bothered to try it.
When I get manual fitted I want it to have a LSD.
Thanks everyone for all the feedback

They come up for sale once in a while,but not that common. Fetch good money due to more demand than supply. :y

LSD was also available as a very special order on pretty much any new Omega, but your dealer had to talk very nicely to the factory for it to be fitted.

Ireland might be a different story, mind.

It is recorded on the VIN plate, so if you can find someone to "decode" it for you......
