hey guys my gtr 32 is chugging when goin about 80 kms it only does it in 4wd mode

is it because car too low ??

what could it be its deff in drive chain not engine weird

please help if ya can

diff size tyres from front to back .. but it has always done it a bit and got worse now only in 4wd really annoying

but i had squeak in suspension checked and they said it sitting on bump stops at front

fluids are fine i repalced some copper washes at attessa pump because was leaking .

whats best thing to do ?

diff size tyres from front to back .

A problem right there (not *the* problem though I don't think), ATTESSA expects same size tyres all around (best to stick to same brand).. even with the same brand tread difference between front and back can trip ATTESSA up. ATTESSA wasn't meant to be run fulltime, even if it's a tiny bit from the tyre difference the damage to the transfer case (clutch packs in particular) might already be done.

Even when I had 235/45/17's all around, with the new ones on the front and worn ones on the back it was enough of a difference to produce this effect.

What rims and tyres are you running currently?

Shouldn't ever do it in 2WD mode. As per the several thousand other threads that discuss this problem, the ATTESSA thinks the rear wheels are slipping, because they are smaller rolling diameter than the fronts, and therefore rotate faster.

I am still at a loss as to how many times we have to tell AWD owners to match the front and rear wheel / tyre sizes.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
