I know Wayne (DJ Brave) has it in his ... factory option, not many in the gtst's around that I have heard of. Funky A-Lsd light in the dash, no traction control button... guessing it works similar as in the GTR's (v-spec's?) ???

Sensors detect loss of traction etc .... ask Wayne about his wet skid pan issues at Texicana!! lol

Haha, yeah... he was going on about it beforehand, then the moment he lost velocity in the car basically (sharp right hand 360 round a cone) it disengaged for some reason... you have to keep speed up a bit for it to work I believe...

I would shoot DJ Brave a PM...

Yep, there are SLIP and A-LSD lights on the tacho (see my avatar pic). SLIP for when the diff locks, A-LSD for when it fails (as far as i know/have been able to find out). I haven't had a problem with mine on the track or skid pan, but in general most people find them troublesome (probably because no-one knows anything about them). Paulr33 has looked into it..search for his thread.

a "SLIP" light ay..

na cant say ive ever seen one or ever seen one come on b4 in my car..

same as the A-LSD light..

Mine works great. Cause really to be honest, for 99% of the driving you do, you want open wheel. Then when you need it locked, the computer does it for you, no fuss.

You can feel it lock in when there is any spinning at the back, ie three examples:

1) Say you're doing a tight u-bolt. Naturally you want freewheel for tight turning, then you decide to boot it a little on the 180 turn. The light comes on, both wheels lock, hey presto. You get traction again, it disengages.

2) Say you're cruising along the highway in the rain, and you take a gradual corner to fast. You have your foot on the accelerator a little bit too hard and the rear steps out a smidgen. Before you even know it's stepping out the light comes on and tells you you've got slip, both wheels lock etc, you can control it better.

3) You're on gravel driving along, the moment it detects any slip, it'll lock both wheels for the duration of the slip.

I thin alot of people don't like the A-Lsd's because it's not really progressive. It's either on or off. That can be a little discerning if you're not used to it. Especially if the moment you get the back out your first reaction is to jump off of the accelerator.

My understanding of the system is it that locks the diff based on the readings from the ABS sensors on each wheel.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
