Power Fc on A-LSD cars

[Bunta]

Hi everyone,

I heard recently that the Power FC does not work with A-LSD equipped R33 GTS-T’s but does work on GTR’s with said diffs. So my questions are:

1. Is it true that I cannot have a PFC on my A-LSD GTS-T?

2. If I can’t use the PFC meant for GTS-Ts can I use the GTR one?

3. If I cant use either what should I use. Am I limited to Piggy backs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a little sad about probably not being able to use a PFC

I was under the impression the attessa (or in your case separate controller)computer looked after the A-LSD not the ecu....although i would make further investigation before purchasing.....see if you can borrow an ecu of a fellow member to try first.

There is a thread about her (and other's) problems with the A-LSD and PFC in either the 'General Auto' or 'Skyline & Other Vehicles' forums. Of course I can't for the life of my find the stupid thread

Thanks for the help guys! So it looks unlikely that a PFC will work. What are peoples other suggestions :confused:

Replace the A-LSD? That or piggy back I imagine.

replace the active lsd with a mechanical one

taken from the power faq:

Vehicles such as the Nissan Skyline R33 GTST that feature the Active-LSD or A-LSD and SLIP function (lights on the dash and vspec diff) will suffer A-LSD compatibility problems. The car will operate correctly and the diff should as well however you will experience "A-LSD" error/failure intermittently. To date there is no known solution for this problem. It appears to be only present on the R33 RB25DET. There was a limited run of R33 known as the GTS25TML spec which is the M Spec with Active LSD. The diff is a skyline GTR vspec diff, electronically controller LSD instead of a normal R33 diff. It features the same finned cover and A-LSD function as the Skyline GTR. The A-LSD and SLIP functions in the Skyline GTR with the Skyline BNR33 PowerFC work fine, only the ECR33 with ECR33 PowerFC is affected. See here for some discussion on the topic.

Thanks for the help everyone.
