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.

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
