Not sure where top place this post, so please feel free to move it!

I am as much, or more, interested in chassis technology as engine technology, and I have often wondered what would be required to give meaningful aftermarket ecu control to an active rear diff in a 2 wheel drive car used on circuits? I have a 2 WD Skyline that I want to add an Skyline R34 V spec active diff to. Has anyone any links or info as to practical control of such a thing? Would a Motec M800 run it, or would I be looking at something totally different? Initially I would like to know how the Nissan ecu controls it, I know the 4WD cars have a 3 axis G sensor and steering angle input sensor, plus some brake input. Looking to reduce tight corner, off power understeer whilst retaining good corner exit traction and straight line traction. Thanks.

Chris,

I have been thinking a similar thing, the A-LSD uses the Atessa pump to lock the diff. I am pretty sure it would use a PWM signal, I could set that up with my Vipec V88 as could you with your M800 (I would assume).

The only thing is, when do you lock it? You would have to work out when you want it locked, it might get complicated quickly. You would need some sensors (whether it be a similar set up to a GTR or something along the lines) to feed information into the ECU to "tell" it to lock.

Also, I have a R33 GTR Vspec A-LSD for sale ;) it has better ratios than the R34.

Good luck,

Mike

the gtr and gtst work differently afaik. the gtst works off slip %. the gtr system runs of attessa, so it uses gforces, wheel speed, and braking inputs.

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club.

If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
    • You got any more detailed photos of the tow ball set up?
