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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
