nismogirl,

maybe you have the new PFC version?? Does your alsd light even come on when you put it on ignition? if it doesnt, then it is likely that your light has been taken out, which is why u dont ever see the light come on?

if all is still ok, then you are just lucky!

Moanie,

no probs ;)

ah yes i know! everyone i know loves the car, the problem is i need to start up my business, as i dont work for anyone anymore (i like it that way too!), so i will be needing the funds to get things started. i will get another skyline again though, i just need the funds for other things right now.

..also...i think ive seen you and your car in a cruise or two in the past ;)

you don't neeeddd to sell it though!!! you can just leave it in the garage! start the engine once in awhile.. make sure shes all cool! and get a loan to get things started!!! selling the 'line is toooo much of a sacrifice!!!! ;)

hahha... really? which cruise? and which car was yours!? lol!!! sorry if we've met and i don't remember it! :)

Hi y'all - I B A Noob to this forum so be gentle!

Has anyone driven the standard LSD and the Active LSD? Is it worth hunting around for a car with the Active Diff ? (Currently scouring Melbourne for the "right" R33 GTS-T).

It sounds VERY much like a Power-FC problem to me. Do you have the manual for it? perhaps you could phone a couple of jap-tuning specialists and ask the hard questions. Computers in cars tend to get narky when they're not fed the signal they're expecting, and it doesn't take much to upset the apple cart ! ! :looney:

I think it was pretty much summed up on page 1

"The active LSD on some GTSs uses a signal from the ECU like the GTRs do and i don't think PFCs have this function but as of now the Wolf plugin dose.

A clever electronics person could modify the TPS signal to send the inverted signal to the ADCU."

if steve is correct and he probably is if wolf now do it , you need to send a modified tps signal to active lsd . the power fc wont feature this , just as it wont send signals required to the auto transmission computer in auto skylines .

i dont know why nismogirls alsd works with the powerfc , but it could be

a. her latest powerfc does support this

b. whoever installed the powerfc has sent the tps signal also

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
