I dunno if i was lucky or unlucky, but i got a gtst wth the slip and a-lsd. Can I just confirm, that the a-lsd is the same diff as the gtr? what is it exactly? It definitely does not feel like a mechanical diff because it doesn't lock like crazy.

Furthermore, i thought that slip was traction control. What is it meant to do? Because i can still do a burnout. The light comes on, but nothing changes. I have changed my suspensions. Is it meant to have anything to do with that?

I know for a fact that on the soarers, traction control has a wire running into the susp tower.

if it's raining and i give it a little too much gas, the wheels will spin. The slip light comes on when this happens. So does this mean that the a-lsd is letting the diff slip?

so slip is a function of that diff? not traction control is it? I thought it was like the traction controls that limit the torque to prevent wheel spin

my gts has it, its not a traction control as it doesnt cut engine power or apply brake when wheel spin ocours. it uses the hydraulic pump which u will find under the right hand rear of the car to send oil pressure to the diff to lock up clutches.

i only ever see thes lip light come on, the a-lsd light never does. So when it says slip, does that mean the diff is locked?furthermore, does the fluid ever hace to be changed? is it that bottle in the right hand side of the boot?

what is that fluiid btw, i've had mixed responses, some reckon it's hicas.

Heh. The HICAS in the R33 is electric so It cannot possibly be for that. The R32 had hydraulic HICAS.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
