Gents ,

can any one shed a little light on the most effective way of manually pumping up the clutch pack from in the cab and can one mount a guage to decipher as to how much lock up ones applying - eg 10% through to full.

I don't really need as a street car but more for drag situation.

We have been working on the electrical side of things and have hit a wall - so for now i would like to look at this option,

Another approach may be finding a way of manually stimulating the hydraulic pump via electrical switching .

Any thoughts or experience here.

I have started another thread in regard to simply attempting to trigger the Attessa to work with no ABS in place and have all but given up , we are so near as well.

Oh well lets have a look at this in the interim.

All input taken seriuosly and appreciated. :P

Ahhh....

I've just moved back to Oz and realised I've left a lot of GT-R info on my old computer overseas - including an article on how to set up a manual hydraulic transfer case lock-up!

I'll see if I can get the article back from old contacts, but from memory it is common in Japanese drag racing circles to use a manual hydraulic lever to pump up pressure in the ATESSA system to lock up the clutch packs. The pressure is held until you manually release the pressure via a solenoid controlled by a remote (and conveniently mounted) button which then converts back to rear wheel drive. An intermediate bleed valve can be inserted and adjusted so that the pressure is released slowly, thereby progressively releasing drive from the front axles. As it's an electronic solenoid releasing the pressure, there is no reason why this couldn't be activated automatically based on a signal from the vehicle speed.

Give me a day and I'll see what I can retrieve back.

Hi Gav ,

hows things ? As you would appreciate this has to be done properly . i have heard of a few chaps doing it very primitively and running into a few problems.

What you have described sounds logical, retrieving the info would be much appreciated. I shall wait .

Thanks for your effort Gav.

I had a problem installing powerfc to my enr33 -- the problem was locked e-ts clutch because of constant 4.5v at tps output pin @powerfc. So give e-ts control unit constant 4.5v at this pin and see if it helps.

Hi stronzo,

there is a little more behind mine than that , do quick search - exXU1 - and attessa, you will see where it's all at .

Thanks for the in put though and i am glad you got yours sorted relatively easy.

What - nobody out there knows ?? Thats surprising! :O

What about running a variable voltage controller on the hydraulic pump...just a thought.

just buy a HKS ETC-EDA it l do exactly what you want.

or buy an Apex'i manual pump lever.

easy

apexi dont make those anymore, tried to order one last year no good. ADVAN in silverwater make one but it doesnt look as nice. I am making one on a wilwood brake pedal and floor mounting it, but I still dont know if it will work how I hope.

Hi Daniel ,

how are you?

Alls good so far with the project - your plate worked fine .

Who are these people who make this , and or have you got your attessa manually operated - if so what is the best way- remember i have no abs and we cant seem to get working correctly - so i we would like to do in another fashion, either set up another electronic way or manually with gauge , any suggestion or links please?

thanks.

Don’t you guys feel like savages, operating the ATTESA in such a crude manor. Gone is the controlling of torque delivery to the front wheels in a nice progressive manor while exiting corners. Your using up all the spares, dragging em up strips :(

I have gone the HKS ETC+EDA route, but would be intersted in a manual controller.

Me too! I have had limited luck on attaining info in this area - i am interested in your set up Daniel - if it works of course, maybe if Next time and me order you to make one or get hold of some for us we could get at a reasonable cost. what's your thoughts?

Guys have a look at these, i think i am going to buy one - can't help my self ? http://www.ikeya-f.co.jp/en/car_type/bnr32.html

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
