Way too hard, the ATESSA system is rather complex with wiring and pumps and sensors etc.

Cheaper and easier to buy a GTS4.

Yeah I thought as much, I prefer RWD but it would be nice to have the option to switch for 1/4 mile runs and the like ay.

Its another one of those Buy a GTR scenarios.

The amount you'd be looking at to convert a gtst to 4wd would be near to the point where you could sell your current vehicle, then buy a GTR with the remaining cash u would spend on the conversion.

GTS4's arnt all that expensive these days anyway.

As above - the ATTESSA system is extremely complex. Just the ECU side alone is a headf*k. Plus not many people know too much about it to be able to offer advise when you're half way through it so you'd be stuck if you started it and couldn't finish. GTS4 or GTR :thumbsup:

Yeah I think ultimately I'll hold onto my R32 GTST and eventually buy an R32 GTR. GTST will become the track/daily drive, GTR will be the weekender.

you would need:

AWD gearbox (~$1000)

Front sump and diff from an rb26 ($400)

A custom adaptor plate to bolt the 26 sump onto the 25/20 block. (approx $800-1000)

G sensors (~$1000 new, hard to find at wreckers)

Front drive shafts ($?)

Attessa ECU ($?)

Attessa Pump ($?)

Wiring loom for Attessa ($?)

and probably about 20-30 hours labour @ ~$100 p.h...

Sounds like a good plan to me :)

I'm planning to pick up a 32 gtst at some stage in the future for a track build. Would love to track the GTR but im not made of that soft of money :)

dont gts4's come with all awd??

it would be a much cheaper option then trying to convert.

yes. thats what the name would suggest.

i couldnt agree more that its a waste of time and money. very much a "buy a gtr/gts4" scenario as it would be miles cheaper and prevent you from trying to top yourself from the stress of working it out.

that said, i have seen it done before here in christchurch. it was for sale a while back. i didnt bother asking how much time and money it took.. didnt want to know.

if you mainly use rwd and would only use 4wd once in a blue moon then would it be worth the permanent weight penalty of 100-150kg?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
