$100 USD to anyone that can find a workaround... GTR Active LSD G-sensor in to GTST

This is for my 93 R33 GTST...
 
I'll pay $100 (paypal or Zelle) if anyone here can get my GTST Active LSD working using a Midori GTR sensor. Seems like it would be doable... hoping repining or something along those lines...
 
Kind of a repost, but with new info, wiring diagram and cash incentive. I've been trying to figure this out for half a year. A "new" G-sensor from Nissan is about $1400 and who knows if it'll even be any good.
 
Short version... the GTR uses a 2 plug G-sensor (controls rear wheels left/right + front to rear). The GTST uses a similar sensor, but only one plug for RWD (rear left/right).
Nissan's flow charts for trouble shooting are the same for GTR/GTST just with some additional jumpering for the GTR sensor to include the 2nd plug. I've included a side by side of the 2 sensor pinouts. I did notice that 2 wires (white/blue and blue/green) were swapped between GTR and GTST.
 
I really want to try and get the OEM active LSD working (not interested in just going mechanical 1.5/2 way). I swapped the pins and the only re-activated the code 66 error (left/right sensor).
 
I previously had error codes 62,65 and 66. I've tried 2 junkyard replacement OEM sensors (30 years old) and had same results with both. Same 3 error codes
I tried a Midori digital sensor for the GTR (2 plugs compared to my 1) and that cleared up code 65 (no power from sensor) and code 66 (bad side to side sensor). But I still have code 62 (bad front to rear sensor).
 
Maybe I could wire up the Midori GTR sensor differently to work? Just not sure how. That's where I'm hoping someone could help me.
 
I'm 90% sure the issue is the sensor, especially considering that 3 OEM ones gave me the same error (probably old/bad capacitors), and new new Digital one resolved 2 of 3 errors. And I'm assuming the last error is just related to the extra plug not put in to use.
 
Page WS4 has the GTR pinouts. Page WS3 had GTST (both top right corner for G Sensor).

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
