Would be news to me - but weir make an upgrade kit and also someone on here came up with a solution to fit an additional plate inside the OEM one on each side.

It should take a VERY LONG TIME to wear out those plates.
Did they pre-soak them & assemble it using plenty of lube on them?

Yes looking at all plates that I have they seem more like t d ones than others. Must be due to being a JDM model.

Round edged cluch n spacers/washers.

The diff was never removed by the looks of it so ideally the diff should be as old as the car and the clutch plates the same.

pics of the diff

Anyone can tell what this diff is by looking at it or tell me how to identify what the exact diff is?

link which made me think that mine is a factory fitted TRD unit.. Its tough to find info on this JDM LSD unit..

From the casing it looks like a TRD unit.
My TRD differential is noisy when using SAE 90 oil.
The pictures contained in the post below should help you to confirm, notice the rough surface of the casing on the TRD compared to the OEM diff.

TRD indeed, that changes the picture quite a bit.. that wouldnt break anywhere near as easy as an old OEM diff would, and it can make more noise.
BTW, I've never heard of factory fitted TRD LSD's...very much doubt it has been there from the factory.
