Ok so the reason I decided to cancel all Japan day is I was finishing off the last of the wiring and started to look at having to do the relays and fuses for the fuel pumps, thermo fans, trigger for the power steering pump and etc. after looking at the number of wires that were going into the car, I took a step back and thought nah f**k this there’s a better and much neater way to do this!! 

insert pd16 (pdm) here and the problem is solved only issue is I now need to strip the wiring harness, remove the i/o 12 box from it and fit the pd16 instead

I got very lucky and it just happened they came into stock the day after I ordered it, now while this is a set back and will mean having to redo some work, it’ll end up being better for it 

Surprised you didn't go the whole hog on the high-end nexus that's ECU and PDM in one! 😛

 

jealous of that PDM, I'm a poor man playing in a well funded man's sport... I'm stuck with relays and fuses ha ha ha!

I looked at it and worked out I’d either need to buy a nexus plus a pdm due to the the fact the nexus uses 3 of the 25amp out puts or just the pdm if I kept the elite in there

No matter how many IO you have, you never have enough... Ha ha ha

The only other things I’d want would be more DPI/SPI to measure the 4 wheel speeds and do traction control. not sure my car will make enough power for it to be a real issue though 

You're better off doing a GPS speed sensor vs. the wheel speed as your car would bake all 4x wheels, if the surface isn't optimum.

Having front and rear speed sensors and doing a traction strategy on that only works on FWD or RWD cars.

From someone in the GPS industry, you'd want it to be a good GPS module, with an actual accurate output (basically doing a lot of sensor fusion with gyros, compass, and accelerometers) or the TCS won't be that great.

For Brett's car the traction strategy would be for straight line attacks, so the Haltech GPS sensor would be sufficient for traction control in his application.

Fair enough, I can't see it being any where near good enough to compare GPS to wheel speed in most use. Imagine you drove under a tree in a corner, I'm sure we've all had that experience where we were apparently doing 60, then 120, then 30 in the space of a second.

I think with most all wheels drive cars you use both the wheels speeds and the gps, I agree the gps will end up useless in some situations and would be interesting to see how the system would react at those times

Most GPS modules are getting better than that, but still not great unless you're spending big big big dollars.

 

Biggest problem, is it relies on measuring distance, with decente enough error to make it quite difficult to detect did I really move, or just GPS error?

Which means you can have the GPS thinking you've moved when you haven't, and at the same time you've gone to launch and broken into mass wheel spin.

 

This is where you need a heap of sensor fusion from everything else.

 

GNSS and Vehicle Telematics is my niche professional area of work.

 

You would likely have more reliable wheel spin detection on an AWD using steering angle, TPS, and comparing the individual wheel speeds, as well as rate of acceleration, and comparing that with acceptable rate of acceleration at given speeds for given gears, and more so anticipating if it is wheelspin or not, vs using a GNSS sensor compared with wheelspeeds.

I was under the impression that Haltech does not allow the use of their GPS speed for traction control. It must be wheel speed sensors.

It definitely can, it just comes up as a speed sensor.

I just gave it a try and it's a no go without an addition wheel sensor. The error states "Traction Control for rear wheel drive requires at least one rear wheel sensor (Or drivetrain sensor) and at least one front wheel speed sensor."

You are correct!

I just played around with it myself and it shows the same error. A workaround is to just create your own Generic and apply ignition correct (as in take timing out) when there's a GPS Speed / Drive Train speed difference.

I'll end up trying this out one day as I want traction control.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
