i recently purchased the tarzan g box off jesse streeter, will be here early april hopefully. Il try write up some feedback after instalation

Dragging this up. By any chance have you fitted and tested the Tarzan G sensor as yet. Keen to hear of your personal experience.

Read all there is on the net. Mostly PR stuff. But stumbled across 1 good rave by a GTR owner.

The new ETS Pro appears to replace the Gsensor with a similar MEM ?

In 2 minds :wacko::wacko:

I've had a Tarzan box in my car since mid last year.

The car has a LOT more traction coming off the corner, where I had to feed in the power before I can now be very aggressive with the throttle and the car just tracks out of the corner like its on rails (I know, hackneyed cliché but that is the best way to describe it). There is maybe a small difference to braking performance but I can't say its huge. ATESSA definitely responds faster and in a more decisive way.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for real world experience.

Tarzan G arrives next week for me.

As I own a 93 GTR I have an expectation any improvement will be a little greater than I have now, maybe closer to the later model GTR's (33/34).

You'll see a big difference.

The big thing about the Tarzan Box and the other replacement G-Sensors out there, (Midori & Do-Luck) is that the pendulum in oil OEM sensor will have degraded over the life of the car and will certainly not be working correctly. So any replacement will make the AWD work properly because it most certainly won't be if you have the original sensor installed.

I Tested the Tarzan G Sensor out this morning. (Seat of the pants testing). No track and no times.

A definite improvement and worth while :yes: even for the normal to spirited driving that I do :yes:. Doing track work then I believe the benefits would be even greater.

(I suppose so would a cheap Torque controller set to 7 on the dial?)

Cabin torque dial actually moving under acceleration off the lights :) and up through the gears. You feel it and you see it - Win!

It's progressive and reflects what your doing - depressing accelerator and it's shifting power to the front.

- rather than heavy acceleration and 4WD coming on late (unsettling car). I used to do this just to see if the Attessa is working.

Tested it out on a corner I take every day turning right on the large roundabout and then halfway round a quick left to get off it.

Normally I fight the car on the left turn from spearing off to the right. Not today :D went exactly where I pointed her.

My GTR feels more sure footed off the mark and around corners, especially accelerating out the other side. There is no just on or off it's more progressive / linear.

It's definitely more responsive making it feel like it has more power/grunt under acceleration from the getgo. Attessa (4wd) is definitely on ALOT quicker.

I am impatient and waiting, even a second or two longer, gives me the shits. (hence -7's)

Experiences may be different but for me a big improvement.

Before I am asked - YES my OEM G Sensor works as it was designed too - This G works ALOT better.

That's where I started too. Couldn't decide as there was no local/SAU feedback on the ETS Pro.

I went and bought the Tarzan G for now. and I'm very happy.

Post up if you go the ETS Pro - I'd be keen to hear.

Just doing a price round up as I previously mentioned my attessa unit is busted and I need a new one:

Tarzan G Box - $ 648.65 - http://www.nengun.com/do-luck/tarzan-g-box

Midori Digital - $ 560.48 - http://www.nengun.com/midori-seibi/midori-spec-digital-g-sensor

ETS Pro - $599 - http://www.full-race.com/store/r14-awd-skyline/ets-pro-center-diff-torque-split-controller-for-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gt-r-1.html

Am I missing any? Haven't found any more info on Ruzic's G Sensor replacement. Is there any difference between these three?

These are all 100% OEM replacements?

Attessa is busted or G sensor broken?

PM me if you want to just replace your G with another OEM G.

---------------

The Midori and Do Luck unit still appear pretty much the same to me with different outer casings and likely "tuned" slightly differently. (even the external wiring is the same)

ETS Pro, although programmable and can be auto or manual (the other 2 aren't). It is not 'plug n play' and does not interface directly with the ABS.

Although from what I read can be spliced in. ETS pro appears the goods for very serious track drivers.

Hence I took the easy out and went PnP.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
