but what I'm asking is what does the HICAS mean - is it 4WS or active diff or both?

HICAS comes on all skylines this means it has 4 wheel steering(for info do a search on hicas there will be 244,000 threads) A-lsd stands for active limited slip differential this is extreamly rare you are lucky if you have this it is a gtr vspec feature, basically it means you have the same differential as a gtr vspec see my attached picture for details.........it is a feature that costs an extra 5k brand new and is the best!

for all those that dont know do a search on a-lsd and you will find out,,,

is the lsd like the vspec gtr that turns to shit one it overheats and becomes a single spinner.

v spec gtr r shocking once the 4wd goes off( happens frequently at track days) and it becomes a rwd single spinner

just wondering if the gts version of the diff does the same thing

akeenan: thanks for the pic, but i'm interested to see what the plate says

Mine is an active LSD, built Feb 94.

Plate says RC41. the 41 is the rear drive ratio of 4:1 I think.

However, the difference in plate ID is in the sixth digit of the MODEL number.

Active LSD is the only model that has V as the sixth digit.

Bit belated response, but am only recent owner

cheers :(

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
