Hi guys,

this is my first post as I'm new here, great forum by the way. I need some help! I have an R33 GTS-T which I purchased 3 months ago, very happy, but im having problems with the LSD. The diff in this vehicle is the same as in a GT-R and is called an Active LSD. I have tried to source skline manuals but none of them, that I've got my hands on, have anything about the system eg wiring diagrams, diagnosis etc.....

The problem I'm having is that the diff open wheels from time to time e.g if I try to get the car into a slide going around a right hander the drivers rear open wheels. Around a left hander it will limo up. If the car is held in a static burnout it will limo but if i fish tail to the right the inside(drivers) wheel takes all the drive, hence my bald drivers side tire.

I have 2 dash lights on my tacho the A-LSD and SLIP when I start the car the slip light comes on does its check then turns off, I have never seen the A-lsd light come on at all! should both lights come on when I start the car, should the slip light come on if the diff is open wheeling....

I have checked the resorvoir in the boot, the level of fluid is fine. With the car on a hoist and a block of wood is put under the drivers wheel (passengers side off the ground) and driven in 1st gear the wood stays put and the pass side spins freely, swap it over and the pass side spits the wood out every time, which leads me to believe that it is a problem that could be rectified by have the clutch packs shimed up. However, this system is computer controlled and hydraulically actuated so the problem may be in those places too....

You can see my dilema, I'd rather not pull the car off the road and shim the diff only to put it back in and have it not function properly. I'm not logging any ABS codes under normal driving, burnout will bring on ABS light which means that the input side of things is ok ( I'm assuming that the computer uses wheel speed sesors to determine when it should activate LSD)

So if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appriciated!

Thanks Matt.

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
