R33 Gts-t With Gt-r Diff Need Help......

Hi guys,

this is my first post as I'm new here, great forum by the way. I need some help! I have an R33 GTS-T which I purchased 3 months ago, very happy, but im having problems with the LSD. The diff in this vehicle is the same as in a GT-R and is called an Active LSD. I have tried to source skline manuals but none of them, that I've got my hands on, have anything about the system eg wiring diagrams, diagnosis etc.....

The problem I'm having is that the diff open wheels from time to time e.g if I try to get the car into a slide going around a right hander the drivers rear open wheels. Around a left hander it will limo up. If the car is held in a static burnout it will limo but if i fish tail to the right the inside(drivers) wheel takes all the drive, hence my bald drivers side tire.

I have 2 dash lights on my tacho the A-LSD and SLIP when I start the car the slip light comes on does its check then turns off, I have never seen the A-lsd light come on at all! should both lights come on when I start the car, should the slip light come on if the diff is open wheeling....

I have checked the resorvoir in the boot, the level of fluid is fine. With the car on a hoist and a block of wood is put under the drivers wheel (passengers side off the ground) and driven in 1st gear the wood stays put and the pass side spins freely, swap it over and the pass side spits the wood out every time, which leads me to believe that it is a problem that could be rectified by have the clutch packs shimed up. However, this system is computer controlled and hydraulically actuated so the problem may be in those places too....

You can see my dilema, I'd rather not pull the car off the road and shim the diff only to put it back in and have it not function properly. I'm not logging any ABS codes under normal driving, burnout will bring on ABS light which means that the input side of things is ok ( I'm assuming that the computer uses wheel speed sesors to determine when it should activate LSD)

So if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appriciated!

Thanks Matt.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
