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?

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
