I have recently bought a 1997 S2 R33, I believe it is equipped with the A-LSD option(has the slip/a-lsd in the instrument cluster).

Now both wheels appear to lock in a straight line, however it appears it just doesnt like corners. With the slip/a-lsd bulbs in the cluster, they never flash, so I figure either something isn't working or bulbs are dead.

Looking in the boot after having a read(1 ecu for hicas and another for a-lsd) I can only see 1? Also, there are a bunch of cut wires?

Also, where is the actual reservoir for the A-LSD fluid, is it the one in the right rear quarter panel behind the little fold down "hatch"?

Wow that sucks. Some one has ripped out all the electrics (very dodgy job by the looks of it). That would be why it aint working. Im asuming when you put your key onto ignition the ALSD light and SLIP light don't light up either?

Yeah it's an ALSD, easy way to tell is all the cooling ribs on the diff itself, and then the hydraulic lines running to it.

Yeah there is ment to be two ECU's in the boot, one on top of each other. One of your's is missing and the other ECU is just sitting at the back of the boot there.

There's a lot of wires and shit there, i got a feeling some one had an amplifier or something sitting there and took the ECU out.

Personally if i was in your situation, i would rip all the ALSD shit out, buy a normal GTST diff and put a 1.5 way in there. The ALSD is more drama than it is worth. Plus you'll save a fair bit of weight by doing it aswell. Your call.

Yeah having a read and all the alsd hate lol, so what Is different? Between the normal LSD and alsd model just a case of swapping duffs ver or other stuff as well? Then what just pull out all of the alsd system which would be the reservoir and the crap underneath, normal r33 diff would just go straight back in with hicas etc?

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
