Active Yaw Control (AYC)

[Guest]

How to tell if the car has Active Yaw Control (AYC)? and is the Active Yaw Control (AYC) worth waiting for the right car to come... looking for it in a Galant.

this is the car http://carsales.com.au/all-cars/dealer/details.aspx?__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_Price_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&__Nne=15&__Qpb=true&seot=0&silo=1011&Cr=4&__N=1216%201247%201282%201252%201246%204294964597%204294966725%20900&SearchAction=N&__sid=11DB039817B0&R=6311421&trecs=9

can you tell the difference between a car that has it and a car that doesn't?


------------------

The easiest way to tell is in the dash, there should be 3 bars horizontal and AYC written underneath, but to be 100% sure,

Stick you head under the rear and the rear diff should look like there's 3 parts to it....kinda weird looking for a diff......

Or another way is open the fuse compartment, and see if there is an AYC Pump fuse there...

Doing one of these should tell you weather it does or not.

Cheers

PS: the pics of the car in that link don't help much!

And YES definitely something you want!!

All prefaclifts have it

oh i see sweet.. when i have a look at it during the week shall have to do that... yeah the pics don't show the full dash... did all the pre face models come with it? or was it an extra u had to pay for? hmm i see why didn't all of them come with it if i want it lol... and does it help handleing at high speeds or manily for conering?

 

[Guest]

Thanks brad for the info. now time to hunt for some good looking Pre faces...

From the VIN 6U9000EC5A0001173

someone might be able to look up the chassis code maybe and tell you if it's a type-V or a type-S.. the type V series one doesn't have AYC AFAIK. It's a series 1 that's all I can tell you

 

[Guest]

lol i found better pics of it here http://service.ultimate.net.au/ubs_mtaq/public/carsearch/gallery/gallery_s1.asp?defaultphoto=7 and the AYC bars are there so def heading down this week to check it out!!! Hope no one else takes this bad boy looks amazing!

 

[bradc]

It is a prefacelift manual, so it is just a VR-4, not type s or type v. Anyway, all this stuff has been covered a million times before, so search

 

[mookers]

There was no type S/V in series 1. They were all the same spec.

edit: what brad said, he beat me to it

 

[matchtheclown]

But brad... does it have AYC?

 

[VR4sum]

do you mean to tell me that there is a chance my car does NOT have AYC?
Oh man!
Ill check under the car tonight and see.
So I am looking for a diff in three parts that seems different?

easier way is to see if I have a type s since they all have AYC
Any ideas as to where this would be written (and what does type s look like in Japanese?LOL)

 

[matchtheclown]

Im sure it pains the people who know to answer this for the 10 time.

So i'll supply some misinformation so they feel they need to correct me

I think that if you don't have the AYC bars on your dash it means type V ie no AYC. That's what I thought.

 

[Guest]

yeah i think if no bars means no ayc... but don't quote me since i was asking if the car i was looking at had it lol.

Mine is a facelift Type-V.. so i dont have AYC (wish i knew about the type-v lacking AYC EARLIER haha.. thought it was other minor things that were different)..

Type-S has the flared guards, Type-V doesnt. Thats one of the simpler things to figure it out straight up when glancing at the facelift models

 

[VR4sum]

no bars does not mean anything. Post 99 model Legnums dont have the lights or bars regardless of whether or not they have AYC...
I know my previous post was a question, but now I have an answer.

I have a 2001 Legnum which does NOT have the AYC bars/lights on the dash.
I have a 2001 Legnum that does NOT have flared guards.
but....

I have AYC

Hope this helps....
Thankyou, that is all.

 

[bradc]

What the hell are you on about? If you have AYC, you have bars on the dash and a red warning light on the dash when the car first turns on.

How do you know you have AYC? Did a car dealer tell you that you had it?

 

[Sydo]

As Brad has said - if it ain't on your dash, you don't have it.
(unless your dash has been changed for some reason)

This is a query that i was going to bring up. With all the VR4's coming in to Australia, you hardly find 2 the same. People who have bought the base model car could change out the dash for the high vis cluster or bolted on the Type S guard flares.

Is there a be all and end all way of telling with out relying on parts that can be swaped out. Or is it a simple case of when you take it out for a spin you full lock the steering and plant the right foot and see it light up?

 

[bradc]

Yeah there is a chance that someone will have a high vis dashed swapped into an early type v with the ayc bars still there, but it isn't hard to check the boot for the AYC resevoir and fuse box for the ayc.

or even behind the right rear wheel for the AYC pump.
