A-lsd

My fluid is black... But my diff seems to be operating well..

Will change the LSD oil and fluid eventually..

[MANWHORE]

the hydraulic fluid in your boot reservoir is meant to be that colour.

It is a dark green. It isn't stadnard dexron III. It is castrol transmaz Z which comes dark green from the bottle. It is a synthetic hydraulic fluid with different properties to dexron III

why not use Nissan's Matic D oil thats whats in them standard

[MANWHORE]

Because nissan don't make oil. Whenever a car manufacturer releases a car, they have requirements and specifications for each type of oil that is needed in different parts of the car.

Nismatic D is a special form of hydraulic fluid. If you go to the castrol website and look up the r ugly poo gtr, it says to use transmax z where nissan specifies nismatic d.

It's just like why not use nissan's 7.5w30 mineral oil that they sell? That's the oil that they recommend for the skylines.

As long as something meets the spec, it's the same if not better.

there are two nipples on the system one on the pump and one down on the diff so you could still have air in the system i think i said that in my long write up so you might have missed it.

Your spossed to make the pumps work with a relay while bleeding them, to get the air out properly.

Still no closer to making A-LSD a "good" LSD, I could only find an exploded view of a Z32 300zx diff at my local, Nissan dealership. Assuming that these are primeraly the same diffs + hydraulic actuators, shimming will help, but not solve the problem, as Matty has pointed out, these are hydraulically actuatted and not mechanically. I have my car booked in at a hydrualics workshop over the weekend, I'll keep you posted on what they find.

[mattymagoo22]

yeah sweet sounds good, I ahd a look on nissan fast at the diff for my chassis number and thats how i gathered that it worked the way it did. hopefully shimming up the gap it will hold more pressure on the clutch discs and lock very well, I've also heard that when doing a long burnout with a properly working system after 25-30 seconds the car will stop the motor from pumping to save it from over heating and flash one of the lights the slip i think so see how she goes eh.

[MANWHORE]

Oh ok, I never knew abobut the other nipple. Looks like we might have to give it a go bleeding it properly using the other nipple too, and the relay.

Hey Nismo 400, where is this relay that you're talking about?

Do you reckon you could outline a bleeding procedure for us?

[mattymagoo22]

just run a jump wire from the battery to the power wire of the pump and then open the nipple and watch for bubbles and keep filing the resorvoir....... who needs relays!!!!

[cerci]

thats it

im so sick of my alsd bullshit, i had a 94 r33gtst and the lsd on that was great

sold it, upgraded to a 97 r33gtst s2 and my alsd light is on all the time....and the times its not on, try and get some lsd action and no...slip light comes on and single spins

ive wasted money at workshops tryin 2 get it fixd...got me no where

im not even goin 2 bother fixin this shit lsd casue even if it did work its not gonna act like the way i want it 2 by what ive read so far

i like doin lsd burn outs and gettin sideways so im just gonna buy 1 of these 1.5 or 2way lsd....

alsd is shithouse

[MANWHORE]

if the a-lsd light comes on it means it's not working properly - of course you knew that though, thus the no burnouts. lol.

Mine works properly though, like I was telling mat. Am I the only one with a working alsd?

I'm just looking to get mine to be better. I want it to lock more, etc.

[cerci]

where abouts in syd u at man? i would luv 2 see urs work

and 4 u 2 check mine out if u would like

[MANWHORE]

L33igh, how did you end up going?

Matty, my car still doens't have a turbo. I'll let you know when it does and we'll work something out.

[L33igh]

Hey guys, sorry for the long time to reply. I have found no answer to the A-LSD prob, the hydraulic guys found that most of the working parts on the diff ie solenoid are encased in the pump and pressure vessel housing so with out a full dissassembly we may never know how to cure the "VN commodore" diff prob.

I have however been lucky enough to stumble upon a genuine nismo locker + half shafts ex-plated

GTS-T....for $600!

Im not goin to waste my time with the A-LSD, from all reports they are a lazy drift or track diff anyway.

Maybe once I have the other diff I will disassemble A-LSD and play with it, seeing as though it will no longer immoblise my car.

More on that when diff arrives!

[T04GTR]

Hi all! Hoping someone can shed some light on some problems I have with my 33's diff.

I have one of the supposedly rare, A-LSD lights in my dash and a large hydraulic unit residing behind my drivers side rear quarter panel. I am told that this is an identical unit to that found in a v-spec GTR...???

As I am new to this site, could somebody tell me where I might find some info on these set ups,either here or elsewhere? My diff (in S2 R33) open-wheels without any hint of LSD operation...truely frustrating.

Any help appreciated, I have my theories but am open to better wisdom.

Thanks

yeah. save for a PROPPER lsd. there just shit. and to get them working nicly is just not posible. either slips or you got a locker.

or if you try to do a burnout at the drags it one wheels and the alsd light comes on and you have to re-start.

just soooo anoying.

[T04GTR]

yeah pull it out and flog it to some idiot who thinks there the shiznit lol
