So I just need to know if my sc300 has traction control, because I bought it from a guy who said the engine was stock and I was planning on making it my track car, ran for a practice run, felt like only one tire was spinning, but strangely another day on a wet road, it seemed like I lost traction and was actually getting the car to go sideways... iinformation on my car, 5 speed, 2jz non turbo. That's all I can think of on top of my head so if anyone can give me some info that would be great.
And btw, I do not see a traction button inside the car at all.

Thanks I just need to know if it has an open differential or the traction control is being a pain in the butt.
Info asap would be great for my next competition.

sadly they have open difs. but you can get a supra dif and plug and play. search around for prices.

but yeah even with open difs you can get it sideways... i mean i got it sideways today... 180 degrees sidways... but yeah you just have to trick the dif.

By supra do you mean the mkIVs and thanks man helped a lot ha

Do you have a Trac Off button on your centre console?
you can also verify by looking near the throttle body -

yuppers, but do some research first only certain supra difs will work, im pretty sure the 6 speed wont work from what my friend said. dont quote me on that, im sure someone here will be of much greater help.

iirc the supra tt auto dif is the one that is a direct swap

Heres a recent thread that im sure can help your DIFF questions of which ones will work and not..

I personally just bought the torsen unit and had it installed in my Diff
It allowed me to keep my same gearing ratio etc.
- others seem to think of just buying the whole thing.. (and you cant tell if its a open or lsd until you open it or install it and spin the wheels.. so you never know what your gonna get when you buy it whole)

Yeah I definitely did not see that TRAC thing in my engine bay...
And thanks guys!

peter12c

So personally what differential would you guys recommend?

Because I have someone willing to sell a 87 Supra N/A 5 speed differential (LSD)
but was concerned if it would fit or not.
