I like the way you think!

Wish that was true and a skyline was up the front... Clearly the 4cyl (lighter) cars have a bit of an edge over the cars that men drive...

If you want to have a go at pro I will gladly change your tyres for you :cheers:

Hi Paul,

I couldn't find anywhere to put this, Hopefully you will read this.

I have one of your #1 4x4 Controllers in my car, Other than the GPS function to plot corners on the track, What are the differences between the new #2 controller and the older #1 unit I have? Am I going to notice the difference between the two?

Thanks.

Finally got my story finished - as part of Mark Berry's crew this year with my ATTESA controllers etc. I have put it up on my website www.timeattacktalk.com

I will hopefully get the tech one written this week with data logging results etc. (still catching up on sleep :) )

The 4WD Controller II is a freshen up of the version I, some of the parts in the version I were no longer available so I did a redesign. The V2 has a better processor and optimised internal algorithms and the output is more accurate. Plus the GPS stuff. Its hard to say if you would notice the difference, it would depend on the rest of the car to some degree and the driver. The V1 controller does a pretty good job, the Version 2 is a refinement.

The Controller in Mark's 34GTR is a whole other story. For that car I had to design the complete ATTESA system from scratch. Mark had removed all the Nissan factory stuff, computers, sensors etc. In that car I have:

1. Front Lateral G

2. Front Longitudinal G

3. Front Gyro Z axis

4. Rear Lateral G

5. Rear Longitudinal G

6. Steering Angle

7. Throttle Position

8. Brake Pedal State

9. Front drive axle speed

10. Rear drive axle speed

The controller then takes all these inputs, does a pile of signal processing and outputs the control signal to the hydraulic system. I also added true linear output control of the valve for smooth operation (not using a simple PWM control signal).

Hey paul what is the difference between the likes of the controller being touted by Tarzan Yamata and yours, Is one better than the other r do they do the same or different things.

Now I have a working g sesnor in the car I am about ready to fit a controller.

Yes if you dont mind starting a thread I got a few Q's as well. Might get a bit off topic here.

V8 taxis 60 bux for a day ticket for 2 people. Lots of raceing lots of shit in the pits

Wtac 100 bux for a day ticket not much racing lots of shit in the pits

Can someone here pass on the above info to the organisers please

I can't decide which I prefer bogans in utes or the flat cap brigade. All I know is the cheaper one is better run

ive checked my tv guide and there is 1 hours worth of coverage for yesterday and today at 11pm. what a joke. 7 is only running AFL and repeats of Gay factor. what a joke.

oh well sorry for the hijack.

I was quite surprised at how well the "2 days for $65" worked at the v8's this weekend.

Great value if you go for both days (as I did) but I didn't think many people would go on the Sunday for $65. To my surprise it was way more busy today than Saturday (took me 1.5hrs to get out of the carpark) so I guess it all worked out.

You are right about WTAC having almost zero on track but lots of pits entertainment too. The Pro class really needs some changes to the format to get more cars out on track each session.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
