a-lsd and Slip

[MANWHORE]

I dunno if i was lucky or unlucky, but i got a gtst wth the slip and a-lsd. Can I just confirm, that the a-lsd is the same diff as the gtr? what is it exactly? It definitely does not feel like a mechanical diff because it doesn't lock like crazy.

Furthermore, i thought that slip was traction control. What is it meant to do? Because i can still do a burnout. The light comes on, but nothing changes. I have changed my suspensions. Is it meant to have anything to do with that?

I know for a fact that on the soarers, traction control has a wire running into the susp tower.

btw, these are exactly the same as on the gtr, so can someone with a gtr please shed some light?

is there a plug (electrical)going to the diff

[MANWHORE]

hmmm...never checked for a wire running to the diff. But i do have a seperate a-lsd unit in the batt compartment that other gts-ts don't have.

I believe they are different from the standard GTR diff and closer to the GTR V-Spec diff.

The A-LSD is exactly that, Active LSD. It uses sensors and a computer controller to control the rear differential.

Here's a diagram:

if it's raining and i give it a little too much gas, the wheels will spin. The slip light comes on when this happens. So does this mean that the a-lsd is letting the diff slip?

so slip is a function of that diff? not traction control is it? I thought it was like the traction controls that limit the torque to prevent wheel spin

my gts has it, its not a traction control as it doesnt cut engine power or apply brake when wheel spin ocours. it uses the hydraulic pump which u will find under the right hand rear of the car to send oil pressure to the diff to lock up clutches.

i only ever see thes lip light come on, the a-lsd light never does. So when it says slip, does that mean the diff is locked?furthermore, does the fluid ever hace to be changed? is it that bottle in the right hand side of the boot?

what is that fluiid btw, i've had mixed responses, some reckon it's hicas.

the lsd light only comes on if there is a problem. mines on all the time due to it not working after fitting aftermarket management. unsure about the fluid change and yeah its that bottle in the right side of boot.

Heh. The HICAS in the R33 is electric so It cannot possibly be for that. The R32 had hydraulic HICAS.
