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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
