Hey guys,

i have recently bled and changed the oil in the transfer case of my bnr32 and i have noticed the torque guage needle moves about a qauter of the way up the guage on full ecceleration in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and maybe 4th. im not sure if it used to move that easy in the higher gears before i changed the oil so im hoping its not slipping due to me not bleading it properly. its just a standard gtr so im not runing huge horse power. Is this normal or am a paranoid? cheers

Genuine Nissan fluid or nothing in a RB transfer case, other driveline parts a non-genuine fluid is fine but not for the transfer case. Jap tuners recommend genuine for a reason.

2 possible explanations for this

1. Your tyres are mismatched (brand or tyre wear) causing the ATTESSA system to think the rear wheels are slipping.

2. Whatever fluid you put in there is screwing it up

I tried a Matic-D equivalent and wasn't impressed, but that was only after a hard track day.. make sure its bled properly..

but like Nismoid said the gauge only shows up what the computer is telling the hydraulics, not actually what your transfer is doing, so like Moodles pointed out its likely to be something else thats causing the computer to think it needs to feed more torque to the front .. don't know what else you've changed but to give you an example: I changed my TPS and unknowingly put the wrong one on, which had a couple of wires around the other way and was telling the computer that when I was siting there with no throttle that it was WOT so just taking off slowly or reversing out the driveway it would be max 4WD, took me a while to figure that out :no:

1. Your tyres are mismatched (brand or tyre wear) causing the ATTESSA system to think the rear wheels are slipping.

this is almost certainly the reason.

the fluid won't affect what torque the systems wants to send forward (although it could affect what does actually happen), so it won't change the gauge reading.

I have never used the nissan fluid in any road gtr or stagea I've had, or in the race car. I use generic ATF in the road cars and castrol transmax z in the race car and have had no issues

I use trans max z in my transfer cases as well with no issue ( except for the massive amounts of abuse it gets ), it's the ATTESSA I use the Nissan "special blend" oil in

when you say bled it what do you mean exactly and how did you go about it ?

was it doing it before you bleed the system ?

have you changed tyres lately ?

i have put two new toyo proxys on 500 ks ago. to bleed it i pulled out the bleeding plug under the drivers side dash. drained the transfer case out the bung. cracked the bleed nipple by the transfer case with the key on, the pump pled a constant line of oil out, stoped every 10 seconds to check the tank and top it up. kept pumping untill i was sure it had pushed all the old oil out. i never noticed the needle moveing under load in 3rd gear before. maybe i just thort it didnt when it actualy did move

did your put them on the front by chance ?

but your bleeding sounds correct enough

Trans max Z Trans max Z Trans max Z.

Been using it for 5 yrs now no problems.

Rd car only no track work.

A less grippy tyre will give the transfer clutch more work to do.

As the system picks up on more rear tyre slippage and sends more torque to the front to compensate.

It sounds normal to me.

When people say blending the transfer case, I don't understand it, isn't it a simple matter of draining the fluid and topping it up via the bungs on the transfer case?

The reservoir in the boot is a different story and that will definetly need to be bled

And where in syd can I buy castrol tranzmax z ?

Thanks

Another user of Castrol Transmax Z here, no problems.

You should be able to get it at most places, Repco, Super cheap etc.

If i can by it in Kalgoorlie, you most definatly should find it in Sydney

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
