Has anyone got any idea why my car won't launch. There are no fault lights coming on in my dash And the 4wd seems to work a little when im driving it hard, but when I try and do a launch it spins the wheels through most of 1st gear and slowly takes off. The highest i've seen my torque meter go is around 20 to 30 %. When you do a launch shouldn't the torque meter hit 50% please help.

Make sure the atessa system is bled and you have fluid in the reservoir in the boot. Do a search in the forums here on info on how to bleed the system.

Jack the car up on stands so that all the wheels are off the ground and put it in 1st and let it idle. Should spin all 4. If you don't think it is applying all 50% then pull the front drive shaft and do the same. When the rears spin but the fronts don't the Atessa should try to do 50% reading on the gauge. I just did that with mine tonight to diagnose my diff problem.

I'm having Atessa problems myself, but I hope for your sake your problem isn't as bad as mine. Mine appears to be the front diff is shot.

Hope that helps.

well the gauge doesn't get to 50% it doesn't read a %at all (kg/m or something, I can't remember).

but anyway, if the 4wd light is not on, and 4wd doesn't seem to be working it is most likely a transfer case problem....(eric is special, and lucky). You could try his test that should tell you if the fronts are getting any power. if they aren't pull the line off the back of the gearbox (car still on stands) and start the car - should pump fluid out pretty rapidly. if not the pump is farked.

Thanks pez In my car I am getting some power to the front I can feel the car pull it self out of wheel spin when I rev out 1st gear and do a hard change to 2nd. Also when I take a corner quickly and it steps out it I can feel the steering wheel stiffen up as the car pulls it self out of oversteer,but I only have had a max of 30 % come up on my torque meter. The problem is it takes a very long time to pull it self out of wheel spin when i do a 1st gear launch. I,ve tried bleeding the system, do you know where the bleed point is at the back of the car on a r34 gtr? Is it on the pump itelf?

It'll only apply as much as it thinks it needs.

Have you got good rubber? What clutch? How much power? If I launch mine it'll also spin all the way through first... but I do see 50% on the meter, and it's just power with an aggressive clutch thats making it spin.

If its power making it spin u should be spining all 4 wheels through first gear. Mine is only spining the rears I got new tyres on it stock power. Does anyone know a work shop in perth that can fix the attesa system?

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!

      Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
