No I haven't swapped them yet. I just looked up the overall heights of the Kumho and Bridgestone, then measured the tread depths and it works out that the bridgestone is 9-10mm shorter in height than the Kumho. Would it be fair to assume this is to much of difference and causing it?

Even then if just that one tyre is replaced with a new ku31 that tyre will be around 4mm taller than the other 3. Surely Nissan has given enough margin to allow for something like this.

As much as this sounds funny, the same size in two different brands are not exactly the same size. Try pumping up or letting down the bridgestone and see if it has any effect. That is not a permanant solution obviously, but might give you some evidence.

Well I borrowed a set of factory wheels to see if that fixes the 4WD light issue I'm having. It didn't fix it. The s/hand Bridgestone they gave me measured up at 12mm shorter overall height than the ku31, thought that would be the problem but not looking like it. I

'm going to try and sus out the relay and see if that the problem.

How can I check if there is a code to check? Is it read out of the ECU or the attesa control module?

If you get desperate Paul let me know, and we can swap over the relay. Worked with Mike's, he tried pumps and all sorts and I think it was relay in the end. As soon as I put his relay in my car, I had a fault light and 2WD.

I might take you up on that offer Ryan. I can't find one locally to try it so that would be great if we can swap to test.

When is a convenient time to try it?

I believe its based in the ABS computer, not the engine ECU. I don't know of a manual way to see error codes, but I'd just hook up my cipher cable/laptop if you were in sydney.

Maybe one of the general code reader that mechanics have can read ABS too?

faaaaaaaaark what a long thread, packed full of great information, thanks to all the contributors.

However I did not see the actual story on how to eliminate the problem I'm having, which is, How to get the wagon to do a burnout! I have TCS off. it will light up a little when I launch, but stand stills are shit.

Also what exactly does the wire cut for transmission lock up do, I am considering wiring the brake and trans' mods to the TCS switch, to make it the FUN switch.

NZJP have told me they will have the workshop mannual ready in 3 months, they advertise on Trademe the NZ trader site.

there are a few options to be able to do burnouts

1. sell your stagea and get a commodore

2. grow up and dont try to do burnouts in car designed for AWD

commodores are not my friend, chocolate is!

I'm too old to grow up, and I am quite iresponsible

My car is RWD

oh and I'm a drifter, D1NZ

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
