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.

    • 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.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
