Full-Race Ets-Pro Centre Diff Torque Split Controller Install Into R32 Gtr


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

im looking at converting my 180sx with rb to 4wd. provided i have the gtr gearbox, rear diff, front diff, drive shafts, modded rails,front hubs and altessa pump and lines will this controller allow me to run 4wd without having to get a altessa computer and wiring?

yes, ETS-Pro works perfectly for your type of application. what you're proposing is exactly what my personal car is - nissan S14 chassis, converted to GTR AWD using the ETS-Pro for torque split control. ditch all of the attesa crap/wiring (and the completely outdated "pendulum style" g-sensor).

edit: depending on your skills and equipment available, you may want to take a look here at our setup to get ideas: http://www.full-race.com/store/r14-awd-skyline/r14-conversion-kit-skyline-gtr-rb26-awd-240sx-swap.html

Hi Geoff

I'm wiring my ETS Pro into my R32 GTR and have 3 quick and simple queries for you:

1. Do I unplug these 2 plugs that I have circled below (the original g sensor wires?) and just leave them unplugged?

2. I have purchased 2 sets of wire (pictured below). The 2.9mm2 (25 amp) I was thinking of using for the power and ground wires (red and green on ETS Pro), and the smaller 1.13mm2 (10 amp) stuff I'm going to use for the white/black/blue wires. Is that suitable? I'm hoping it should be, even the 1.13mm2 wire looks slightly larger than the wire that comes already attached to the ETS Pro.

3. In the guide on the first page, Andrew cuts the purple TPS wire and leaves it hanging out of the plug as the loom end is wired to the ETS Pro's blue wire. Just checking that's correct, to leave it hanging / not connected to anything.

Thanks in advance :)

hi, the installation procedure will depend on whether you want to keep the OEM computer in place. Most racers will delete the OEM computer but some people want to retain it. Keeping it functioning allows your torque split gauge to move around, and keeps ABS happy.

1. the answer to this question depends on what i wrote above -- the G-sensor is required only to keep the oem computer functioning without codes

2. no problem, you should be all set

3. same answer as #1, if you will use the oem computer just tee off the TPS. if you dont care about the oem computer, cut the wire and intercept the signal

i hope this helps

I see in the photos the new G sensor was mounted on the panel behind the back seat which means its mounted vertically.I thought it would need to be mounted on a flat panel,therefore horizontal or parallel to the road?And also does it matter which way its mounted,should the side with the arrow on it go down or up?Any help would be appreciated

Hi, the G-Sensor install should be firmly affixed to a level surface. arrow facing forward, screws facing upwards. Two part epoxy is ideal. Never use tape of any type.

full clockwise is biased towards center diff-lock (50/50)

full counter clockwise is biased towards RWD.

if you ground the ebrake switch, that is 100% RWD (0psi in xfer case)

These two systems work together in concert -- the haltech platinum pro is a great standalone engine ECU, it controls your engine and fuel/ignition only. Our ETS-Pro is a standalone torque split controller, and controls only the center-differential.

I've meant to ask this for a while now but it keeps skipping my mind....

Has anyone that has installed one of these found that the front diff seems to be working overtime even when dialled back? When the car is cold and I reverse out of my driveway, the front of the car hops around a lot when I turn the wheel....almost feels like it wants to break something...didn't do that prior to installing the ETS Pro.

Have wired it up per the instructions in this guide and I don't know if it makes any difference but I have a Nismo 1.5 way in the front.

JH32. Don't know how long you've had the unit in your car. But this does sound exactly like the symptoms I had when TPS wires were wrong way round. If it does it when ETS is in RWD then I'd say it's mechanical.

Thanks for that mate, the car's off the road at the moment but when it's back I'll have a look.

If I turn the ETS controller knob fully to the left i.e. RWD then it still does it but if I flick the switch to go to RWD (e.g. equivalent of pulling the fuse) then it doesn't do it any longer so I'm thinking it's to do with the ETS Pro rather than being a mechanical issue. Hopefully I'm right but it sounds from what you've written that it could be the case.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
