See Nissan got a little smarter on subsequent models and they determined that in order for the ATTESA all-wheel-drive system to come into play faster once wheel spin is detected, the transfer case should be preloaded (with hydraulic pressure). This meant that as soon as the pump was switched on by the controller, the system would already have significant pressure to dramatically reduce the time taken to engage the front wheels. We're only talking about milliseconds here but anyone who has driven both an R32 and R34 GTR on the limit will appreciate the difference.

I stole that from an article. Sorry.

There most be a faster way to engage the attessa 4wd system way faster. This is like such a big difference its ridiculous. Some would say us a electronic torque split controller. Is it possible to do it manually for the purpose of getting a better launch. What are some mechanical ways to have it done??

I was thinking of a hand pump to engage the system with some kind of pressure release at a certain speed. You would have a hand pump with a gauge and have it fully release to do a burn out. Then pump it up for the launch. Leave the line and at a certain speed have a release vavle let the pressure to to reduce drag on lets say cars without the potential to rip the tire loose in all gears. Like mine. :lol:

Am i crazy??

Hmm

Just had a wierd idea again. Is there a way to activate the attessa system using a button and let it go after the launch. Just to have it in full 50/50 split off the line. ????

This is the rod between the piston and fork. If i mod this to be an adjustable unit. Im thinking it can compensate for a worn disk. What you guys think

I think it would be like replacing the pressure plate on a clutch without replacing the driven plate. It might improve things in the short term but wold soon wear out what's left of the driven plates. However it would be relatively easy to try - certainly easier than transplanting the whole attessa system from an R33.

Local tuner Glenn Suckling built a 7 second R32 and says he had 3 computers controlling the awd but I suspect it took many thousands of $$$ as well as a lot of time so probably not an example for you!

Im saw an r33 gear box for sale. But dont know how to identify a r33 box. But that wouldnt be the solution. The reaction time would still be laggy comparing to the r33. Unless the preload is in the case and now created by hydraulic pressure. ???

Im reading these threads. Leaning hard to fullrace ets extreme. Still need to understand the system tho. I love the launch from a r33. I have most of my money in my r32 gtr and need to get it off the line if not equal as my r33 even better.

Read the link to Glenn Sucklings car I posted above. It refers to him manually pumping up the awd on the way back to the line after doing a 2wd burnout.

Thats simply what i want. Unlike him im far from 1628hp. So i wont need the 4wd all.the way down the track. But im envisioning the set up ill need to do. Ill just need full 50/50 for 2 gears. 1st and 2nd. Then i can have a electronic valve at the hit of a button release the 4wd. For less friction and more rwd movment. So ill plot it out. Just one thing. Whats the max pressure needed for full engagement. I can do this.

Ok let me take a few moments to explain what im thinking.

I want to retain the factory system and have a manual pump up system. So ill send the attessa line in the car with a bottle valve. This valve will separate the factory system from my manual system im going to set up on the other side of this bottle valve. (Towards T-case.) All the mods happen here. Im going to use a 240sx hydraulic ebrake setup to pump it up. Im going to have a pressure release valve in line so i cant over pressurize the system (will need to know the max attessa pressure for full engagement.) Next im planning on this pressure side to T-case have an emergency electronic release valve . Im planning on having some kind of computer at predetermined speed engage. Letting the attessa system bleed back to resivour. I will have one way check valves stoping the pressure to interfere with the manual pump when the valve is open for normal operating.

Hope its doesn't sound crazy. Lol. Ill draw it out on the weekend.

Ok. I got greenline to supply the disk to me. And ill rebuild the transfercase.

I just finished installing a r32 gtr attessa pump on my gts4 after i found a leak on the pressure sensor. First it was a hose i changed that clean everything. Next after a day of driving i found more oil on the diff. So i pulled the whole diff from the gts4 and replaced the pump with the whole unit from the r32 gtr. Ill post back the results. Soon.

I guess you are using this for drag racing use only, for circuit or rally use there are a range of electronic controllers that give excellent results.

For drag use I've either seen custom system like you are looking at, OR, HKS used to make a controller for drag racing that provided a fixed split.

There is nothing wrong with the mechanical system for drag use, you just want it to operate at a different time....so the right computer is all you need

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
