A little bit of clarification;

We have played with the ATTESA in several R32GTR's and found big improvements from upgrading/servicing the clutch packs. Just like any other clutch, the plates wear out over time and R32's are now far from new. There are a number of retail outlets than can do ATTESA upgrades, I am sure places like Racepace, Croydons and Advan would be able to help.

We haven't seen much of an issue with the hydraulics, although the pump itself is definitely worth checking and the hoses should be replaced. Don't forget to change the fluid and bleed the system.

We have found that this makes more of a difference than electronics, nothing that we tried in that area would fix a worn out clutch pack. It doesn't matter if you have the fastest ATTESA ECU, if the mechanicals are worn out, it won't help.

My suggestion, attend to the mechanicals first, then, if it still isn't up to your requirements, look to the electronics.

:D cheers :)

good idea!!! great idea actually and makes complete dense to me. only problem is here in the states there is no service for these, so i will haft to source the parts myself and get the service manuals and get my buddy to help me tackle it. is this a job that requires the front diff assembly to be removed from the car or can it be done with it in the car? i am going to do the clutch so i guess i can do it the same time. thanks

Gearbox out is easiest, just disconnect the tailshafts, no need to remove the front diff. I am sure the guys here would supply parts and instructions, although the standard ATTESA service manual would do the trick.

Hi Guys, After changing, flushing and bleeding the ATTESA oil in my 32gtr, I fitted a torque split controller, which I had a local electronics wiz kid make for me. Works really well, the car feels very tidy coming out of corners. The unit is fully adjustable 0 to 10 , 0 being standard 10 being max ( I have enough parts to make 4 more )

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
