R32 Gts4 Microtech / Wiring Issue

[55yko]

I recently put a microtech in my r32 gts-4, the car is all finished and up and running, but the 4wd system isnt working. It has the 3 lights on 4wd, hi-cas, and anti-lock. its the same as if you pulled the 4wd fuse in a gtr (yes i checked the fuse - and its fine)

can anyone point me in the right direction? has wiring diagrams? or can give me a hand(brisbane- northside)?

Cheers

u need to hook the tps signal wire from the attessa ecu upto the tps signal on the ecu (tee in the wire), i dont know what wire is the one as i dont have a gtr but it will be in the front near the ecu and coming from a big plug that runs to the rear of the car, im sure someone on here will have the colour or a diagram to help

I totally rewired the TPS for the microtech. so i assume then i need to run a wire from the tps to the attessa computer?

yes but you need a buffer circuit as the tps signal to the Microguess will be affected by the ATTESSA i have had something designed and built to compensate this probelm.

Microguess is right , do you know what "specifications" each circuit needs to be so i can get a similar unit made up? Cheers for your help

or does anyone know where i can get a "premade" one?

Ok I have the EXACT same problem with a Microtech LT10S running a RB25DET (also the VCT is unplugged and microtech tech support were quite unhelpful on how I go about enabling it, or whether the ECU comes with the bit needed for it) I'd also be looking at some way to run just the Microtech with ATTESSA - It's got plugs on the loom to piggyback the standard GTS4 ECU, but then I'd have to sit it on the passenger side floor :S

I don't have the ABS light coming on though so I assume that works, and I have a HICAS lock bar (light only comes on occasionally when driving at 110km/h on freeways)

rip the ecu out and replace it with a pfc or a remap?

mine seems fine so far just hooked straight upto my autronic tps signal, what signs does it show if its not correct?

[fletch rb30]

The attesa ecu needs to recieve 0-3.5v signal for the tps signal, the stock ecu outputs this signal from the 0-5v signal coming from the tps.

I have a link ecu and the voltage coming from the tps is 0.2-3.7v which is pretty close so i just hooked it up and it works fine.

Link use an op-amp with 0.7 gain to modify the signal in their plug in ecu's. You could get somebody to make you one for a case perhaps

If you have a 0-5v tps signal straight onto the attesa ecu, the ecu will think you have 100% throttle when your at 70% which is not really a bad thing, it will bring the 4wd on earlier

good info, so whats needed exactly to fix this, i have found a fair bit of understeer when going hard into corners as if 4wd is coming on too early, but not sure if thats normal or not

i have a fix for this

hmm.... i think i might hook it up and see how it goes. Does anyone know what colour the standard wire is for the tps attessa feed?

[55yko]

does anyone have a wiring diagram for a gts-4 by any chance (engine and attessa would be nice )?

engine diagrams are identical gtst/4 the see this thread, contact the member for a copy of the manual on cd.

[fletch rb30]

you need to download the gtr wiring diagrams. i dont have them on me anymore, but on the biggest diagram, the plus is in the bottom left, i think its called wc3. you have to blow up the pics and print them out on a3 and you can nearly read thw colours, but you can follow the lines from the plug to the end of the wire.

There is a page just for the attesa/abs ecu, you can use a multi meter on the correct pin on the ecu and a long wire back to the cabin to find the correct wire.

i noticed that in your first post, hence i asked what exactly do i do or what do i need to buy or what do u want to sell me?

and a price would be good if u have got something for sale to fix it. I would like this asap as i have a track day soon and understeer sucks.

[55yko]

ok update, what i need is the attessa pin out, im going to run a wire from the microtech tps 0-5v wire.

I just looked to see whether the attessa was spitting out any error codes and the led was not flashing at all. made me think because if it was TPS it would be throwing code 21 shouldn't it?

[55yko]

ideas?

[Swiper the Fox]

ideas?

its the purple wire 3rd one along the orange long plug...to check a yellow wire is the 1st one in the row.

[55yko]

ok so thats on the attessa computer it self in the boot?
