Is there a link to a detailed thread on the attessa system in the nm35s?

My thinking was its pretty much rwd untill the system senses traction being lost and activates the fwd.

After reading about the rpm diffrence between the break sensor mod while on the stop and go pedals, i wanted to check. Sure enough sat on about 2500rpm as suggested.

Though i did notice small tyre witness marks on the driveway, so tried again the next day with the "Sync" switched on and held it a little longer to be sure, again twin marks.

I would have though the attessa would have not allowed that to happen? Also, i have taken off quckly on loose gravel had had the back spin and step out slightly.

So any more info on the attessa side of things (other then wikkipedia) would be greatly appreciated.

If you saw two black lines that would be different. Atessa reaction is not immediate. In fact R32 was quite slow. R33 (and Stagea) is quicker and R34 GTR is quicker still. The answer is in your second sentence - attessa senses traction being lost - it can't somehow anticipate it.

It does sort of anticipate it, by pushing some drive to the front wheels under hard acceleration, even if there is no slip. The biggest problem with the R32 setup is that its biased much too heavily to the rear. I have a cheapo ebay attessa tweaker in the GTR and it transforms the car. Also R32s also have no preload - ie no drive at all to the front under normal conditions. The R33 and later all send a little drive to the front all the time, which improves response, and is why you need to remove the front driveshaft if you're using a 2WD dyno. In an R32 you can just pull a fuse to use a 2WD dyno.

While we're talking attessa, do NM35s still require flatbed for towing like early attessas?

I have only ever flatbed towed the car. I wouldn't want to try due to the preload on the transfer case clutch though

I have a feeling the M35 electronic G sensor and Attessa computer is much quicker to respond than the earlier units.

So its more of a case of pecentage of power Vs breaking effect?

If theres a constant percentage of drive being sent to the front and you stand on the break and accelerator, is it just the fact that theres less power and larger breaks up front that allow the rears to turn?

My car breaks traction when my tyres are really cold or when the steep driveway is really wet or the combination and I cannot get up my driveway as the rear wheel is still spinning and I slide back down. This is at a low speed lets say 5km/h? Even with snow mode activated it struggles going up my driveway.

I can launch my car from 3500 or 2500? pissing down rain with the road flooding and not break traction.

My car also leaves chirp like marks when leaving my garage.

But, if going up a steep hill while raining and I floor it, I can feel the rear slip then the car straightens up then I know that attessa has corrected the slip.

FWIW, as well as difference in front vs rear wheel speed from the ABS sensors, and longitudinal G force, they also have a TPS input.

so yep, it's pretty damn good at guessing when you might loose traction.

bloody amazing system for something designed on this

Yeah, I've watched my torque split gauge throw drive to the front whilst cornering, and encountering a dip; no loss of traction felt, but it is impressive in it's pre-emptive nature.

A wet road would likely have seen a loss of traction in that combination of conditions.

I have not ran part numbers on the nm35 systems, but from the looks of it they run an r34 pump and clutch packs. The only way to confirm would be to look at the g sensor.

If it is R34 data and programming it takes TPS, G sensor, wheel speed and the map sensor. Calculates over a matrix and runs variable prime pressures.

    • The price of every automatic S2 stagea in japan has suddenly doubled
    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
