You have an open differential. Most cars have an open differential. You need a limited slip differential (ie Positrac) to get both wheels to spin at the same time.

yeah, but sometimes both tires spin, its crazy, but the one tire that mostly spins is completely bald, and im friggin broke, so im drivin in the snow with a bald drive tire...and btw, i thought 240sx's were two wheel drive, not one. o well, maybe ill get a lsd, btw, how much are they???

they are 2 wheel drive...all the power just goes to the wheel that spins the easiest...LSDs..used i would guess 4-500 check out jspec.com they have'em on there every once in a while...

240s aren't 2wd... they are rwd. all 2wd cars/trucks have an lsd.

pop an lsd on that thing, increases your performance and track times also. only thing is it's really expensive to get and install. look to spend around $1000/installed.
