Default Awesome buy / diff question

I picked up this g20 for $150. its an unmolested 5 speed and has perfect interior/exterior. The car starts and runs rough with a push start. I'm thinking it is a timing or cap/rotor issue. My problem is if the transmission is a limited slip or not. I know some b13 sentras had limited slips from the factory and some didn't. Is there anyway to check it by the vin? I know there is supposed to be a big manly bulge on the transmission if it has a limited slip but i can't get a good look at it.

Put the front on jack stands, turn one wheel. If the other one turns when you're moving one wheel, you're got a LSD. If not, fail.

G20's only got VLSD's if they were Touring models. That was only available on P10's in the 94-98 model years.
