Hi guys, i need a bit of info for my GTR.

i took my car to a skid pan day during the weekend, and it was great fun. but the thing worries me is that i did it with my ATTESSA in place.

so just to compare my reading to someone else's, it will show me if there is anything wrong with it or not.

so mine reaches 10 kgm at 5000rpm in my 2nd gear. is that normal front torque?

thanx for any help.

I drive through some windy roads each day on my way to work. When the road is damp or wet, my torque split will rise to the same reading (~10kgm).

I'll offer one vote for everything is normal.

And when you say you did it with ATTESSA in place, are you confusing it with HICAS? I apologise if it was just a typo, but ATTESSA is your 4WD and HICAS is the 4WS that many track guys disable.

no, i know what you said, when i said attessa i meant that it gave me a really weird feeling on the skid pan when the front wheels start to kick in when i counter-steer, the car just goes into different direction. i thought constantly using the front wheels could have done something bad for it? no?

thanx for your input mate, seeing the similar figure makes me feel a lot better.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
