hey paul am in the same boat as you.

As far as i can see the fluid in the resorvoir is similar to atf but its nissan spec and it is yellow when new. The diff oil needs an Lsd oil as it is the same as a mech lsd (clutchs etc) only the pump controls how much preload is applied to the sidegears which gives the Lsd effect. the 2 hydraulic actuators sit on each side of the diff.

I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this system working as it should be a really good unit nice and strong too!

the system behaves like when a mech LSD is worn out by open wheeling, particularly the drivers side wheel. Mine will pull dual wheel burnouts but when you keep going it ends up slipping down the road grrrrrrr!

Im close to just swapping over for a nice tight mech LSD but I'll keep you updated.

Does your a-LSD light come on with the car turned to on but not started? only my slip light comes on and ive never had any of them come on when I've been driving.

cheers.

when i turn my car to ON (without starting) all my lights come on.

both a-lsd and slip come on. they should to indicate the lights are working and diag is OK. if you dont have a-lsd light come on at post diag then it could be the light is dead, and it may be failing mid flight for you, hence the single spinning ?

if slip doesnt come on when you are loosing traction the computer isnt doing its job and turning the pump on.

i suspect in your case your A-lSD is failing each time at start up and the a-lsd light is dead as well.

do you have the factory ecu or an aftermarket ecu ?

yeah man all factory ECU

I'm going to check that the globe isn't blown..... one day. I'd really love to get this thing working but I'm seriously thinking about getting an aftermarket unit single spinning is driving me nuts.

I'm a bit worried that the problem may be bigger than I think. The slip light should come on regardless whether the A-LSD does as it comes on at startup... which may mean that the system thinks its working but actually isn't so it could be that the internal clutches are kaput or it could just be that it wants to wreck my brain grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

IF ANYONE IS READING THIS AND HAS OR KNOWS SOMEONE WITH SERVICE MANUAL FOR R33 GTR THAT CONTAINS PAGES FOR FINAL DRIVE ACTIVE LSD SYSTEM PLEASE LET US KNOW :D

thanks for getting back to me man cheers.

Edited by mattymagoo22

the service manuls don't cover the alsd vspec system

ive already look in r32 r33 and r34 gtr and normal manuals, no mention.

they guys who opened up my diff said it didnt need shimming or any mech fixing to be done, he said the internals were perfect. im going to get my hydraulic line braided so its a new line and i can put a pressure signal on it

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
