Yea thats right wrxkilla. The unit will help you tune out the corner exit oversteer under power.

The exit corner speed of our car coming onto the straight was apparantly one of the best at superlap on the weekend.

Curious, does this unit solve or help solve the issue of the early versions of ATTESA being a bit slow to engage.

I find sometimes I get on the power early in a lowish speed corner, when exiting I lose traction :(

Doing a few hill climbs and comming out in 2nd gear, I put the power down and the rears just spin up. Exit so slow T_T

In short YES

There are 5 available maps with Paul's controller.

Each map modifies the lat sensor signal. Map 1 has the same characteristics as the the original signal. The other maps produce earlier or later responses.

The gain on all 5 maps are tunable. One out of 2 maps can be selected by a toggle switch. There are so many tuning points

For the amount of power I try to put down around the circuit, my car normally goes sideway if I put my foot down to early around the corner. This usually costs time. I managed to distract Paul from his busy schedule of organising the Nissan Anual Track meet, secure a unit and hook it up before the track day. With so much things to do with the car before the track day I did not get a chance to test this unit at all. I had a quick flick through the manual and left it on Map 2 with a toggle on for Map 1. The track condition was dam on the day. There were water puddle, dirt and mud on the track at most places. My RE55 were also worn to the indicators. Despite all of that, I had even less sideway movement than before, was able to get on the gas earlier and was able to do a few 4wd power slide. I had very little test time with the unit and came first in the GTR class and also fastest Nissan of the day. I am confident that with a few more tweaks it will be awesome. As others said, this unit should be standard on the GTR ;)

Thanks for all your help and for producing an awesome product Paul.

I have another question (or suggestion) Paul :P

With the current firmware, can you set the toggle switch to the same Map with different gain levels eg Toggle on Map 1 of 10 and Toggle OFF with Map1 of 80?

guys, this is an absolute no-brainer.

if you have a gtr and you do any kind of serious driving with it, you need to buy one of these.

i bought one early in my gtr days, and it was in all sincerity a better performance upgrade than the $2000 suspension. the difference is noticeable immediately, and as soon as there is any driving condition where grip is compromised you can dial in exactly what you want the car to do.

and even better, its designed and built by a qld SAU member.

Thanks for all the great feedback on the unit. Its good to hear of successes of customers. Especially when they also attend my track days. Congrats on the double win 9krpm at the Nissan Meeting.

Also yes you can set both toggle switch settings to the same map with different gains. Just select the toggle position, select the map and gain, then put the toggle in the other position and do the same.

I can't wait until you have had a chance to do some serious testing as I'm sure your laptimes will improve even more !!

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
