Mark,

Thanks again for your help at Timeattack on Tuesday replacing the power steering belt on the GTR.

We really appreciated your efforts and will sort the Harmonic balancer issue out before the next meet.

Looking forward to catching up then, we definately owe you a beer or 5!

and good luck with the arrival of the Mr or Miss Berry jnrs!

Speak soon...

Ben.

yeah ben , common issue when revved, there was one throwing belts at Bathurst too.

no sure what mark told you but ATI balancers seem to be a good solution.

Yeah he mentioned that was the way to go.

Thanks again for your advice on the tyre pressures.

They were spot on.

The Evo performed really well.

Sorry you guys werent out there..

Thanks for the new desktop background Russ.

This new Ross metal jacket race spec ballancer I got for my 32 seems to be working really well. Ross, as in the owner guy, assured me he'd fixed the power steering belt problem with this new race spec jobby so much so that he took back my original i bought off them and upgraded it free of charge. It was a few hundred dollars worth of upgrade. He told me he bought an ATI one, found out what they did to fix it and then copied it. Pretty much just an underdrive pully. Just watching it on the dyno, mine dosen't shake the belt around nearly as much as a stocker. Ross is a top bloke actually. Really took the time to listen and explained a few things.

Back on topic but. Russ last time I talked to Mark i think he was saying the Atezza problems may have been a result of changing the roll center so dramtically. Have you elliminated that as a cause or is it still a possibility.

yeah ross , from ross balancers is a top bloke!! very smart guy

if he now has an under drive balancer, it's definately worth trying,

must be good if belts are hanging on on your car coop, the way you rev it ! :bunny:

with the 4wd , it appears to still not be accounting for wheels spin, but no codes? looking at autronic to control 4wd pressures now.

Maybe no wheelspin is occuring >_< Seriously though I'm not sure that wheelspin is actually in input to the ATTESSA ECU - those pins may just got straight through to the ABS computer in the same place. I am pretty sure Lat G, Long G and throttle position are by far the most important inputs so I would suspect TPS first....

BTW I is there any truth to the rumour this car will be on display at the SAU NSW Show n Shine in 2 weeks?

interesting watching the trans pressure guage, i reckon it was sleeping :D

Bit hard to see but it looked like it was picking up the lateral g sensors but not the longtitudinal sensors?

edit: spell check big word :D

From the developemnt I had done with the R32 ATTESSA and from what I was told by guys I had look at the coding of the control unit, the wheel speed sensors are used as one of the priority corrections, but are not used as a "mapping" axis.

We cracked the control unit some time ago when playing around with Haltech PWM outputs etc. Its a fairly simple system so Im told (I know nothing about electronics), the unit was never made "tunable" but as far as nissans programing went we had that worked out and replicated with the haltech the best we could considering the inputs available to us. It broke all kinda things when you stuff around with the way the front drive is engaged.

As far as running this car in the national SS championship. Whats it weigh??

Id have a guess it would be under the weight for a forced inducted 3L AWD??

the car weighs 1200 , ( i think? dont quote me, it's been awhile)

We will have to check TPS again , but i am sure there was a signal to the 4wd ecu for that ,

And i think your right to Trent , doesnt appear to sense both G forces.

Hey Wooster, apparently all bowie's time's were removed from the sprint sheets which meant Sean's time of 2.20. 7093 was third.

I reckon the most awsome thing getting around the mountain was the Monaro with the stroked nascar engine, it was crazy fast! it did a 2.25 too.

we should have eased up on the rear wing angle too, honestly mark was not pushing the car too hard especially where the track bites from the cutting on, we dont have enough experience with the car or the track .

the car definately had a atleast a couple of seconds left in it over the top if you were willing to risk it or needed too, and had a track experienced driver in it.

we are still at the same point we cant increase the power( & there's plenty left) until we get 4wd sorted.

a quick question which is a sort of off topic regarding the attessa pressure guage. What sort of gauge is it (like what is it usually used for, i assume hydraulic stuff?) and what sort of pressure readings are expected with attessa operating correctly? i want a gauge for my 32r track car to check the 4wd is workin correct but unsure of the scale of the gauge and what psi does it go upto, etc.

hey unique ,

you want a gauge that reads up to about 250 psi, they are cheap.

the hardest thing is just adapting the hose connections but a good hose company like pirtek etc can help.

on a 32 it's very important to know the pressures, they are an old system and generally not working effectively anymore.

none of the r32 gtr's that wehave worked on have had the correct pressures, all had system issues

( none were showing codes)

Hey gents,

it was me who had a poke around the car when it was in the gueling area, and I must say it looks amazing!

The quality of work is awesome!

We you happy with the way it performed?

I think it was a great result considering some of the other cars that were there

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
