My grandma's r33 gtst recently went in for a service (in nambour) and when she asked about a warning light that has been on (it is the a-lsd dash light) and what it meant he had no idea, now apparently he ask some friends and it is the g-force sensor that has stuffed up and that is why the light on the dash is on.

I don't no a great deal about 33 dash warning lights ( i have a 32) so i really need to find out if this is the correct problem and how much the part should be, this tosser is trying to charge her $1200 for the part alone.

Your grandma drives a Gtst? hahah wow that's interesting.

I didn't think gtst's had g-force sensors, only GTRs. PaulR33 on here knows a bit about the A-LSD on the gtst.

lol black manual with a nismo front bar hahaha

hi pete,

the a-lsd light will stay on if the unit fails diagnostic or there is a fault

the common things to check for is there enough fluid in the resivour in the boot (right hand side)

when you turn the car onto ACC do you hear the pump run? (its underneath the car on the right hand side under the petrol cap area

also check any fuses etc - has anyone been fiddling with wires etc? what ecu ?

it doesn't use g force sensors it piggybacks off the ABS computer and watches each wheel's speed to detect wheelspin

does your abs work ok ?

sure does, thanks heaps for that god knows how the mechanic thought that the g-force sensor was the problem though lol

    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary. 
    • There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).  
    • Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.
    • Hi guys, thanks for the replies.  I will have to wait till summer to test properly, but it short cycles both when heating and cooling. I’ve ordered a new internal temp sensor that sits under the vent in the steering wheel also, GTSBOY, I have an Apexi FC ecu, I’m assuming I won’t be able to diagnose or would it still work? Could the ecu be causing the problem??   the pressure switch is quite cheap I will get a new one and try it out, hopefully it doesn’t require purging the refrigerant again?
