Anything ever come of the S402?

Ok called on the front LSD, and fair enough I can't find the site where I read it but now I'm interested.

This link is stickied in the gearbox and drivetrain section.

It seems to say that JDM Legacy RSK MY00 (the basis of my Blitzen) with Transmission Code TY754VBACA has a helical front LSD with confusingly a "LSD option".

I'll take a look at my transmission code, is there any other external evidence of a front LSD to look for? Boostin if your in Auckland I'd happily swing past your work if you know what your looking for.

I'm all for the talk on these forums being backed up with some solid evidence.

Jack the front up and spin 1 wheel. If the other spins the same way, LSD. If it spins opposite way, standard diff.

Looks like I did remember the Rev-D gearbox codes right after all ;D

JDM Legacy RSK & GT-B MY99-00 TY754VBAAA 4.444

JDM Legacy RSK MY00 TY754VBACA 4.444 Viscous (4kgf) Helical LSD w/ LSD option

JDM Legacy RSK & GT-B MY01 TY754VBBBA Viscous (4kgf) Open

JDM Legacy RSK & GT-B MY01 TY754VBBCA Viscous (4kgf) Helical LSD w/ LSD option

Me GTB E-tune has the VBBBA so no lsd... you can tell that anyway by the way it'll light up the inside front wheel out of tight corners when you're 'pushing it' a bit.

Cheers Boostin great tip, I'll check that tonight and post results.

Yeah, keltiks right, simply a face lift RSK.

And keltic, they most certainly did do an STi B4. It was called the S401... They are rare as anything though, and have STI wheels, Brembo's, big hood scoop, painted in sonic blue, 6 spd, etc. etc.

fuck s401's are smokin hot

Curiously, if someone were to get their hands on an S401, is there anything special about it that would make them harder to service compared to, say, a Blitzen or RSK? Exterior parts would probably be near impossible to replace I imagine, but I'm more concerned about the inner workings, the engine and such.

I apologize in advance if that's just a really stupid question.

[Guest keltik]

Nope everythings borrowed from somewhere, engine and drivetrain from an STI and probably brakes as well. So no harder than an STI.

engine will be a twin turbo, same as the other B4's

tranny and rolling bits appear to be STi

Interior is a mix of B4 and BL/BP bits i think? new dash etc.

badges/bodywork would be the tricky bits to replace i would imagine... although... HOPAI, can you get S401 badges?

Anyone know what's special about the B4 RSK S-edition compared to a normal RSK?

[Guest keltik]

All the S-edition's I seen have that kind of Mica-blue rally-inspred blue paint job.

They're all facelift BE5's (Rev-D) - 2003.

And the two I can find photos of, both have what appears to be a factory front strut brace.

[Guest]

Thanks guys! ;D

Anyone know what kind of bumper this car has?

It looks like it's an RSK, except the front bumper seems to have a modified Blitzen bumper.

[Guest]

that's a horrible bumper.....

is it just me or does this bumper look odd without the bottom lip? but it is starting bid $150 with no reserve...

So I checked my Blitzen and it doesn't have a front LSD, the front wheels spin in different directions when jacked up. Good call Keltik, thanks for the 'how to' test Boostin.
