hi,

im just very confused right now about tunning a GTR........the tuner i prefer does not have a 4wd dyno, and he is going to take the front drive shaft out and tune my car on RWD mode.

would this actually affect anything on my car??? or does it do anything to Attessa system at all??

any info would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

How come ur using someone to tune ur car when they dont own a 4wd dyno? Maybe take it to somewhere that has a 4wd dyno and then u dont have to buggerise around with removing the driveshaft.

P.S frank, was over at dan's picking up some parts last nite, and gotta say lovely car u've get there mate :rofl:

nothing to worry about. many tuners only have RWD dyno. 4WD would be prefferable, but if all he has is RWD then disconecting the front prop shaft and running the car in RWD is no problem at all.

Frank i got my GTR tuned 2wd mode.... Richo at Allstar done mine, and he's only up the road from where you are... drop in and have a chat with him.. couldn't hurt...

Noy, was gonna pm you for some advice...thanx man

i know Richo is a really good tuner( got things done by him before), but he hates Power FCs as anything........

i am gonna get Gavin Wood and Matty Spry to tune mine next week....

once i get Motec or HalTec with other mods, i will bring it down to Richo, and then he will be gald to do it.

why would it matter if it was on a 2wd dyno or on a 4wd dyno, they are not awd they only use the front wheel drive when the rear wheels brake traction so really they are a RWD car untill the rear whells spin

not true at all. do you own or have you driven a GTR? AWD is computer controlled and is engaged under lots of different circumstances. a lot of the time there is some amount of FWD being engaged.

further to this the 33 & 34 gtr's always have some amount of front wheel drive, hence why u have to pop the front drive shaft to put in constant rwd

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
