R33 Gts-t With Gt-r Diff Need Help......

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.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
