"A-LSD"?? are they common on R33 Series 2s?

[akeenan]

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,,,

as you can see from my picture there are 2 extra displays a-lsd and slip,..... this is for you crooser!!!!

ENJOY!!!!!!!!! PEACE!

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

My R33's door lock when i shift my gear to 2nd, is that a safety shit or some thing wrong with my car?

In my car, i hear the hostess saying please fasten your seat belf, we are taking off soon.

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

Talk about an old topic!

Also, most of you with this diff will notice a buzzing sound of it building up pressure at different intervals (specifically when you start the car).
