let me start..

first off. a lsd oil is a lsd oil because of the friction modifiers to prevent "chatter" in the clutches and give smooth takeup

. v-spec diffs have zero preload. and no chatter problems.

also they are controlled by a ecu and require a constant rate of friction to work corectly. putting a friction modified oil in is not what is recomended. you can but it wont work as the engineers intended. just like sticking a lsd oil in you gearbox. have fun selecting lol

you put a lsd oil in a viscose diff?? no. why? cos theres no exposed friction plates. threre a sealed unit. dont recomend oils to people ok :laugh:

its a v-spec.

(hydrolicly controlled) its controlled by the atessa ecu im pretty sure. unless theres a seperate a-lsd ecu

There is a seperate ALSD ECU as the GTSTs dont have an atessa ecu... and on the actual diff it has stamped USE LSD OIL ONLY

I dont pull this info out of my arse mate.. i actually have a GTR Vpsec Active LSD

Now im willing to accept that perhaps a non LSD oil can be used.. but if nissan saw fit to stamp in metal on the actual Diff LSD OIL ONLY.. then who am i to argue

fair enough. for a minuite there i thought you were. if thats what the sticker says cool.

just like the standard r33gtr we imported that had "viscouse lsd" sticker on it when clearly its a standard 2 way. :D

you can use lsd oil in non lsd or viscouse for "heavy duty aplications" acording to most oil companys.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
