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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
