Hi guys

My R33 skyline gtst series 2 is one of those lucky few that come with this factory mod, where i have the GTR vpsec diff, and therefore i have the 'slip' and 'a-lsd' lights on my tacho display.

My question is, with the power fc (new version), does anyone know if this extra factory setup will work with pfc or will pfc pick it up and control it? as the ecu must be in some way controling something im assuming, and since not many gtst's came with this, just wondering whether apexi has this inbuilt in their pfc incase a gtst like mine were to use their product?

any help greatly appreciated, as im looking to get PowerFC VERY soon, and need to know whether it will work!

thanks,

-Michael

No, there are viscose diffs, like the A-LSD's which I believe use clutch packs, and a hydraulic pump. When the A-LSD isn't working it open wheels. We're planning on sending a signal to the pump to cause it to lock when we want it to.

well thats not going to be that good then, if its going to open wheel, then only one wheel will spin and i'll get minimal to no traction down the quarter, as all the power will be going towards one wheel! even the normal gtst diff will be better to use than this one then...right?

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
