Send a PM to 'Duncan' and see if he has more ATTESSA controllers for sale.

And if you're after help, cut the sms talk dude. There is no saving in typing 'no' instead of 'know'. It just makes it hard to read and pisses people off. Also try breaking your post up into bite size chunks commonly known as sentences. Cheers.

pulling the fuse makes it 100% rear wheel drive until you refit the fuse.

you can make your car 2wd while driving along in 4wd. step 1, put your foot on the clutch while driving, step 2, turn the ignition off while your foots still on the clutch, step 3, turn ignition back on and foot off the clutch, now you will be in 2wd without having to pull the fuse out. to ensure your in 2wd the orange 4wd light will be lit on the dash. please note that this is only possible on the R32 GTR's. the car will automatically go back into 4wd mode when you bring the car to a complete stop.

hope some of you lucky GTR owners have learnt something new, happy sliding... B)

You can get a torque splitter than will do the job as well.

Dude refer post #2. That's what an ATTESSA controller is.

Overboost, yep, they can adjust it to your liking, from max split to no split. The search engine will turn up all the answers. :)

Heath I hope you've been behaving yourself mate! :) hehehe :blink:

The ATTESSA system in the R32 GTR is pretty good for its torque-split-ness. I notice it only kicks in (that is, the front torque guage shows a reading) when I launch hard from a standing stop or I go over slight bump on the freeway etc.

It will never have more than 50% of the drive at the front wheels anyway and to get that you wouldn't have time to notice what the guage is reading as you adjust the awesome slide you are in :)

Just for those that aren't aware, the torque split gauge does not measure a percentage, it measures kilogram.metres, ie torque.

A reading of 50 on the gauge does not mean you're driving an overweight STi :D

That said, when your GTR rolled out of the factory years ago with its claimed 353Nm. That's around 36kgm, so a stock car won't see 50

Yeah, happy sliding for me too yesterday then a bit of a drift around the corner, then the backend broke loose and more oversteer, then I put a bit more throttle in to get the front torque to pull me straight but...

Round I went 180 degrees, parallel crashing into the 30cm high kerb on the other side of the road.

Damn it sucks crashing and f*#king up your wheels, suspension arms front lip and spoiler, and throw in a front crossmember and cv joint too. Only happened yesterday arvo Just out of lithgow heading back to sydney.

My fault, going too quick around a corner.

Take it easy guys.

Damn Sean! I saw your car for the first time last week too! Well as long as you're alright mate.

I had a 'moment' coming down Hawkesbury Rd a fortnight ago on a Friday morning when the road was greasy. I was trying to suss out how the torque split works and I did a similar thing but *just* retained control (it was a 35kmh left into a 25kmh right I think). Learned a good lesson! No damage, never connected with anything but enough to speed up the ticker for a few k's.

If you're after parts, let me know, cause I bought a stack (bumper etc) when I had my car painted and have a fair idea of how much Nissan can sell them for.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
