The booster does create alot of resistance when there is no vacume. I was surprised when i pulled it appart, how tight all the moving parts were.

I don't see much point in doing it to a road car.

I never had much luck doing the double flares myself ben, how did u go with them? I ended up just taking them down to tas brakes to get done.

Its coming along well though, looking forward to seeing it on the road!

they came up well, i found the key was to tighten the buggery out of the pipe holder, otherwise the pipe slips when you do the first part of the flare.

what about a track car with numberplates though?? worth doing then??

got a parcel from roy yesterday.

abs unit has been tested and (now) doesn't leak, as it uses bubble flares instead on double flares.

have to brace the buggery out of the brake pedal now, as it's pretty flexy.

I think damo should give up his day job as an auto leccy and become a seamstress. I could see him on the sewing machine punching out overpriced designer dash's.

Good job guys!

id prefer to quit and go into full time race car building. but ill have a go at that to

I haven't really detected any difference between the GTST and GTR stock ABS. neither are super fast but thankfully they are quite lazy (ie quite a high threshold) so on the circuit you will almost never have it cut in at all. on uneven or broken surfaces though (which I'm sure you get plenty of in tarmac rally) they are shithouse. can't cope well at all with low grip tarmac and then you find the sampling rate/pulse speed etc become a problem. for tarmac rally I can see for sure a better unit is a good idea. I'm not sure how much is in the valve body or how much is in the programming and processor power of the ECU. I suspect most of the gain comes in smarter/faster ECUs.

Can I ask a stupid question at this stage?

I have upgraded my brakes to the Brembo size (F40, Brembo rears & larger master cylinder).

The ABS on the R32 was originally pretty ordinary. With the larger brakes it is even worse. Does the povvo pack ABS unit have enough capacity to release the large pistons on the Brembo callipers or do you need a different unit?

I suppose the question is: Is an R32 V-spec ABS unit different to the poverty pack GTR version?

A second dumb question relates to the Vspec ATTESSA unit rate. Can you sling in a later unit from a 33 ie up from 4Hz to 100Hz & does this affect the ABS???

Sorry for the thread hijack.

The pump unit in the 32 series is the same.

My GTR has Porsche 6 pot's on it, and i can still flat spot tyres with it.

I'd put a fair but of thought into a Tarmak Rally GTR, and if wanted to build the best 32, you'd fill it with R33 bits. The ATTESSA PRO ecu is day and night compared to the R32, heaps faster, ABS is heaps more responsive (but not too aggresive) , also feeds torque to the front wheels under brakes (found that from datalogging it) for stability, and a R33 transfer case to handle the higher baseline awd. IMO the biggest problem with the 32 is the old tech ECU's, it was bloody advanced in 1989, but tech came a long way by 1995, i think the pumps are fine, just the ECU that drives them.

A R33 ATTESSA ECU would be well worth doing, as you have better ABS, and AWD. I'm not sure how hard it is to disable to A-LSD in the ATTESSA PRO, cause that's the one you want. Only thing you'd want to consder is if the R32 tranfercase can handle running a little all the time.

On another note, where did you get the rotors for your F40's? Are they 2 peice, and 332mm?

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
