Hi, I'm in search of some information, hoping I can be pointed in the correct direction.. 

 

Car is a s15 coverted to awd using a donar r33 gts4 for parts..  We have removed the abs from the orignal s15 from factory..  How can I get my haltech to read the speed sensor signal from the transmission? The transmission is stock but planning to upgrade to a os88 box soon.. What can I use to solve this issue?

The Nissan speed sensor just sends an AC (actually it's more of a saw-tooth waveform, but it fluctuates +ve and -ve) signal to the (factory) dash. That signal's frequency is proportional to the speed. The speedo head then converts that to a square wave 0-5V PWM signal that is put out on the "speed signal" bus wire that is connected to the ECU and any other CU that wants to know vehicle speed (which in an S15, is....probably not very many. Did they have HICAS?). That signal can be fed directly to the Haltch, the same as it is fed to the factory ECU.

All this is in the factory service manuals.

You just need to read the Haltech manual on what you need to do to configure an input to read a PWM signal like that and connect the wire.

But that's assuming that you are using the S15 dash. If instead you are going to use a Haltech dash then you could probably also read the Haltech manual to find out what you have to do to instead connect the AC signal direct from the speed sensor.

This setup will work and be an improvement over the factory speed sensor (quicker to respond and more accurate).

If you want a simple plug and play option, this will work too.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
