Hi mate

I just got my R33 GTR about 3 days ago, and i noticed a couple of things, Coming from a GTST, I was woundering what the A-LSD light of the RPM gauge does??????

I also notice that when ever i take a hard corner that the front wheel torque split gauge moves and i can feel the front wheels grippin, is this normal??? The car only has 13950 km's on the speedo.

Next what does the little motor on the rear lower part of the car does??? The motor is across from the muffler.

Over all the car is way better that a gtst. I've always woundered if it's really worth the money and yes its more than worth the money. Does anyone know where i can find some info on how the 4WD system works on the GTR.

Thanks again mate.

Do you have log book for those k's?

The torque gauge tells you when the front wheels are being used. Seeing as its a rwd car with front wheel drive every now and then.

Alsd, is yours a vspec? I'm pretty sure it only comes on when it's broken. I've only seen mine on at acc and when I put it in rwd.

This motor you speak of, I have no idea.

Yes mate the motor looks like a little wiper motor. I was thinking that it may be for the A-LSD. Yes Nose LTD. sent me the log book for the car from what i can make out, the car had 2 owners in the pass the first took it to 8000 km's and the second to 12300, and now i took it to 13950km's I've been reading up on the 4wd system here on sau. I didn't know that i need to run the same rim and tyre size. Now what about the width if the wheels.?? Can i use like 11's ine the rear and 10's in the front, but all in the same size rims like 18's.

please if there is anything that i need to know about the car please do tell, and thanks agian mate.

mate you need to keep reading and searching on here, you will find all the info you need and more.....:thumbsup:

that little motor you speak of could be for your A-LSD of could be your ATTESSA pump ? and you can run different width tyres but they need to be the same rolling diameter, so it is easier to just run the same size rims and tyres all round ..

keep reading

and 13000km's on a 15 year old car :rofl2:

      Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!

      I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).

      At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself

      I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses.
