Im an owner of a stagea and the worst thing i can hear is people saying that my car looks like a volvo. It drives me mad, so mad that ive developed this hate for volvo's. But i found this website thing that has the most neatest volvo ive ever seen, so neat its showed me that even volvo's can look shmick with some money dished into them.

Have a look at this and tell me what u think, imagine turning ur stag into one of these!

408hp!! nice :)

6 speed auto too, and an AWD system that sounds similar to ATTESA except that it waits for wheel slippage before it intervenes...

cant say i'm a fan of the looks though. still undeniably a volvo...but then i'm not much interested in 4wd's/offroad cars so maybe i'm biased.

thats how attesa works, it detects slip and transfers it to the front........

kind of. Attesa uses g-force sensors (both longitudinal and latitudinal) as well as the ABS sensors, throttle position and probably a bunch of other inputs to determine which wheels are likely to have the most traction. As you know, it reads all of these inputs 100x a second via its 16-bit processor.

The way attesa works is that if it detects (or ANTICIPATES - here's the difference from the volvo one) traction loss on any wheel, it directs torque away from that wheel. Often it doesn't wait for the wheel to slip, because the g-force sensors will already be telling it that traction loss will or may occur.

I'd say the volvo one is very similar but there was no mention of g-force sensors or the like.

hmm is that in ALL atessa systems? my car slips before it will push to the front.......... maybe its fooked like the gearbox lol

probably depends on a lot of factors. Obviously on a wet/slippery surface, the g-force sensors aren't going to help a whole lot. These are more for when you're pushing the limits on a surface where you otherwise would have grip. The system is the same as the GTR (R33/34) more or less, but the ATTESA computer and variables are likely to be tweaked for each application.

All of that said, it is possible to get the back to step out in most stageas if you attack a tight corner with your foot on the accelerator, but you will feel the front wheels trying to bring that under control as you do so.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

      This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.

      Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
