I'm doing research on Nissan's 4wd GTR transmission for a retro fit on to a customized midengine car its such a great system and I'm proud of Nissan accomplishments with the GTR and its system.

Now what I need to discuss for my application is.

I'm not sure what skyline GTR to get from what I can understand the GTR system reads from VSS hub rings

to read wheel slip.

Now in common practice a Vehicle with ABS computer has its system set to a certain tire size so putting a different wheel size would make the system operate incorrectly.

Whats doesnt limit the ETS system from in operating incorrectly when you install a wheel far beyond the wheel size of your GTR's ?

I planned to use BEE*R's ETS box instead of getting an OEM unit because I plan to do some drag racing but this is not what my project is focused for. I emailed the dealer otomoto which carries the Bee*r box and ''Ben'' from there told me with out explain that the tire size doesnt matter how can that be?

Also comparing the different model's

R32 ( factory 16's)

R33 ( Factory 17's)

R34 ( Factory 18's)

are the Hub rings a different size when you change your whee size doesnt your speedo get thrown off?

well the wheel speed sensors are on the diff at the rear as shown in your pic.

the front and rear driveshafts need to rotate at the same speed to keep the ecu happy, just as they would for ABS operation. But as long as tyre size is within a % or 2 front and rear it will be fine.

Yes the speedo does get thrown off but the only thing that matters to the computer is the difference in front and rear rotation.

As well as changing tyre size you can change diff ratio without impact.....as long as you have the same ratio front and rear.

BTW you also need the g sensors they are the main input to the system not the wheel speed sensors. They need to be mounted level as close as possible to the centre of the car.

    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
    • Ah. I dunno why, but I skim read your earlier post and thought the manual switch was to force it on, not force it off. I'd be tempted to have both. So, your two in series, and another in parallel with those. Or, a master arm switch, followed by the manual force on and the thermo in parallel. 6 and 2 3s.  
    • Yeah been doing it in an x shape. Do you reckon it's worth putting guide coat early where the filler isn't sanded down completely smooth? Reason I ask is because as I'm sanding it one part might be level which I don't need to sand anymore but the other part might be high so I can just focus on that instead of sanding across the whole repair area. I wonder if the putty is too thin, though the area is almost completely smooth before I do it as I've already put filler prior.
    • Just 2, and inline. One switch temp related other switch driver controlled.   I'm nearly in my head back to Arduino land for it...
