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.

Your right foot is variable you know, it's not a switch :P

Fwiw any time I've heard of or been involved with using GPS for this kind of thing it's turned out that GPS latency is too bad even it's fast.  Remember the GPS speed is a "in hindsight" measurement, so it basically checks how long it took to cover ground and works out the average speed required to take that long... Which means you'll be going faster than what you've got from the GPS setup.   The results I've seen are as you'd expect, basically it cuts the wrong amount and too late - could argue that the tuning could be tweaked for it but you are actually trying to make decisions based off things which have already happened which is going to be flawed.

With 4wds I think accelerometers or predefined torque profiles for the situation are the less problematic way to go about things like this depending on how precise you want to be.

Yep, and wheel speed sensors. This can be made simpler if you are running out of inputs (4xdig inputs required) by running the Bosch Motorsport ABS which will transmit your wheel speeds over CAN. The bad news is you need to convert the rear ABS sensors to work on the hub end of the driveshaft because it's quite fussy about drive shaft wind up. That and the cost of course.....

I'm not familiar with Haltech but from what I've heard they also do a version of torque management which is similar and simpler to setup than the M150 Pro package. Seems to work in drag cars ok.

Wiring, such a joyous part of every build!  She must be getting pretty close now?  It’s at this point I generally decide it’s time to add something else and completely undo everything I’ve done to get to this point…..

That was what I did to get back to this point lol. I think I’ve added everything I can add and now it’s just full steam a head

Oh you'll find something to put it back another month or two!!

Started getting the wiring inside the car routed and connected and also putting the interior back together.

I decided to fit a key pad to control things like boost level, rolling anti lag and launch control on/off, there will probably be other things I’ll find for the other buttons

the interior is now looking more complete then it has in a long time and the gear position, strain gauge and eboost2 now work, I also connected the reverse lights through the pdm and they work when required. The pdm and ecu are both mounted and the can cables are connected back to the ecu

After spending 3 weeks in Japan I finally came home and got to play with the gtr again, today I wired the 3 pedals to the ecu, wired the power steering pump and set up the over ride button. Also put all the carpet back in place. Finally ready to start putting seats and etc back in

Fancy!

Japan would have been amazing!  I presume you got to do some car stuff?

Japan was awesome, such a beautiful country. I went to the Nissan heritage collection. I rented an sti and drove the skyline road in hakone with it which was a lot of fun. Did the usual up garage visit and nismo omori visit as well. Apart from that it was a lot of site seeing and taking in the history of japan

Sounds amazing!  I need to pull my finger out and get there before I get too old and cranky to be effed doing anything!  Just need to convince the wife it won't be ALL car related stuff....  Or go without her of course!

Now, get back to work, you've got a GT-R to finish off and inspire the rest of us (ie me!).

more genuine parts, these hold the base of the rear seat in and due to the seat having come out so many times the old one were pretty ordinary.

and the rear seat is in and it’s really starting to look like a car again 

Due to the fact I’m still running the original dash I thought better add something that quickly tells me the information the ecu has available

I replaced the boost gauge with a haltech can gauge and found a pod that fits it. The readings are all over the place at the moment because the engine bay wiring still isn’t done

The Haltech CAN gauges are nice, I contemplated installing one when I was running the 3 x centre console gauges. 
but the motec dash kind of eliminates the need for them.
looking good, it’s a good feeling when it’s going back together

I love your dash and if I could convince the mrs to let me spend the money I’d have one without a second thought

Billet blocks, sequential boxes and god knows whatever else, a dash is Fark all 🤣

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
