Just for your info, the series 2 does not have the sensor in the same spot as the series 1. I did not have to relocate it for the manual conversion.

There are a few cars getting wrecked on the forum, so it should not be too hard to find a cheap one.

hey guys i may be wrong but every g sensor i have seen in cars under the concole is for the air bags. as i have replaced alot under warranty on new cars . but i may be wrong just putting the thought out there incase it helps.

Yeah there is an airbag one in the same area with lots of warning signs on it and yellow wiring running out of it. G-sensor would need to be facing in the "factory direction" so that it can tell if the rear of the car is stepping out, not sure what signal it would be getting if it was sitting sideways?

yeah turning it 90o is not good for it, the lateral and longitudinal g sensors are seperate and it will think you are turning when you are accelerating etc.

Of course it might make the attessa perform better (per the autospeed article years ago) but i doubt it relates to the xfer case dying.

Nick good spot for the sensor I might move mine there....mine is further back between the handbrake and the console bin but it is a very poor fit

As far as I can remember, the airbag one is the one right at the back in the last of those pics I posted. I'm not sure if it's a g-sensor or just the triggering device, or maybe both are in the same unit.

Here's another pic of it:

Yeah lousy torx bolts, had to buy a socket to install the handbrake.

I don't do too much rally driving, so hopefully the G-sensor doesn't take too much of a beating from my turning it 90 degrees. I will endeavour to turn it back now that I understand its purpose better. I'm driving my car full of gear with a trailer to Bathurst tomorrow, so I'll be taking it nice and easy. It's a very easy way to lower your car by loading it with about 500kg of stuff.

When I get to Bathurst I'll turn it around for the homeward journey.

Did turning g-sensor to factory position help?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
