Yes skylines can have an A-lsd light.

It means you have an active spec LSD version of the skyline.

Run some searches there's a shipload of info on this site about the A-Lsd.

As for it intermitently turning on. Do you have a power-fc? If you do I strongly suggest you look at the signature of a guy on here called PaulR33 as this is a fault that happens with the A-lsd failing and power fc's, but he's got the cure (read: DIY) to fix the problem.

If you don't have an Power FC.

Perhaps a fault with your abs sensors or the computer itself, or the hydralics, or a lack of fluid?

Some Gtst's came with the vspec diff you are very lucky as they are a rare option.

The A-LSD light in the tacho it only comes on if there is a problem. The ECU for the ALSD is in the boot. Does it stay on always or just come on now and then?

Nah, Actually, this site is pretty gay regarding a-lsd. I keep asking about certain things about a-lsd.

No one knows what fluid it uses. no one knows how to bleed the system.

No one actually knows how it performs relative to the normal gtr 2way diff.

Searching will get you info about fully sik people talking about fully sik stuff. but nothing actually useful about the a-lsd.

Like there's info about how people have installed fully sik power fcs into their fully sik skylines to make them fully sik and go quicker.

does someone actually know anything useful about the a-lsd? if so, please post.

Check fluid in a space in the boot on the right hand side, you'll see a little canister behind a little clipped on segment.

The fluid it takes is power steering fluid.

As for the microtech, this might be causing the problem, from memory the A-Lsd computer requires a signal from the ECU that aftermarket computers generally don't give and have to be modified to suit.

Here I've run the search for you, check this link out:

Now I realise that you don't have a power Fc, but the premise behind the solution should be the same for the microtech.

hmmmm. i love it when people get credit for my work :

putting it simply.. while driving the light will come on when the wheels slip. (lets you know its working)

if not. you need to aply the tps signal to the a-lsd ecu. just check "moonie" 's topic on a-lsd. i fixed it for her at wsid :dry: with a multimetre and some eletrical tape :)

Hey man, apologies, credit where credit's due.

I just remembered following the post about the fault with the A-Lsd (As I have one in my car, but my ecu is still standard), and remember Paul copying it to his link on FAQ on A-Lsd's.

how about if someone actually says how to blled the syhstem and what fluid it uses?

There is a bleeder nipple on the right hand side under the car runs along the right hand chassis and is roughly above the diff cradle. Make sure the car is running and bleed out the air from there.

It is difinitley power steer fluid. It will also read low when the car is off! So don't over fill it.

    • Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.
    • They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.
    • Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....
    • Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
    • Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
