yes we know it's not a "center diff", but most people know when you say the center diff you mean the clutches that controll the front torque. And it's a common thing for the clutches to be rooted.

i dunno what u blokes r on about.. my r32 atessa kicks in pretty much as soon as i have wheel spin.. whether im turning a big bend.. or an extremely sharp hairpin.. i can have the wheel full lock doin u turns and the fronts kick in as soon as the rears slip...

The majority of the worldwide Skyline community, talks of the Attessa in a BNR32 being slow to react... so YOUR experiance differs from the norm.. not the other way around. Thats what these blokes are on about.

...mines pretty damn fast.. and btw.. for the bloke selling lies about broken centre diffs... they dont have a center diff.. Its a hydraulic pump much like a torque converter with many wet clutches that slip the torque to the front wheels.. not a mechanical centre diff :)

Had it been a front diff.. it wouldnt have a variable front/rear ratio the way it does :D

"Selling Lies" hahah wtf

well...just my opinion but I don't trust it to grab in time over about 100 - so at high speeds i focus more on proper balance and careful wieght transfer/throttle control. I dont think even the world's best 4wd would be able to make adifference in the fraction of a second you have at high speed

As mentioned you want to go into a controlled environment and work it out from there. Getting out of trouble ,once in it, with the R32 Attessa is a little different to a normal drive car as well. The best thing in your favour right now is the fact that fear of it's unpredictable nature keeps you out of a coffin.

Hi :w00t:

I agree with everyone else....take your car to a track day & get the feel for it. Just make sure your brakes are good.... & stomp on them a bit harder & later for the corners. I think driving on a track makes you a better driver & it is fun!!

Good luck :cheers:

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
