Just for the record guys , all your help has been greatly appreciated but they way i may have come across in respect to my auto sparky come freind - when i mentioned that he was lost - please let me re phase that - not lost but pursuing the correct avenues and always coming up with a solution, my intentions were to purely help my self and his quest to solve the issue. Lost was not the correct terminology - rather a minor stall in attempting to find an answer , my apology if this was misconstrude. once again thank you to all that have helped, particularly to my more than capable auto sparky. He with no doubt will solve . :laugh:

Hi,

Did you end up resolving all of your attessa issues?

Josh

Hi Josh,

Nearly - we are at this stage - We can make it engage thru excelleration but as soon as one touches the brake it disengages and will not come back on until the car is turned off. We then have to start the process again . Cant quite get around this one as yet ?? Any ideas?

When you say "touch the brakes" do you mean to a full stop or slow the car down a little.

How many sensors are hooked up to the brakes? I know there is one on the master cylinder and one on the brake pedal mount. Maybe try disconecting those? (if you haven't tried it already)

So when you turn the car off and on you have the 4wd back to you hit the brakes again. sound similar to when you have pulled the fuse out. My two wheel drive which turns 4wd off and on with out having to turn the car off and on.

do you still have the wheels speed sensors, aka ABS sensors in place?

Yes as far as i know . that is to say i haven't removed them , where is and what is the aka ( ? ) abs sensors.

I have no abs unit at all - i could attach some how the abs sensor only ? I simply do not know at this stage - more in put the better.

The ABS sensors are located on the front driveshaft in the knuckle. You will see this thing sticking into the steering knuckle with a wire coming out of it into the firewall, then into the loom. In the rear they are just ouside of the diff and have the same type of sensor. The sit just off a disk have cutouts on the outside of them, that goes for the front and rear..

If the car originally functioned correctly with the ABS unit in the car, then the sensors should still be there.

on the front driveshaft in the knuckle. explain this a little bit better please

Thank you.

you need those sensors to run attessa as they also monitor wheel speed for variation between front and rear ie, wheelspin ie the attessa cuts in. DONT remove those sensors then you will really have problems!!!

Attessa standard disengages when you hit the brakes normally obviosuly the problem you are having is that it wont work again unless you turn the car off. I have had this problem witha standard car before so I dont think you need to worry about it being due to the fact yours is modified. Check the voltage signal that is sent from these wheel sensors when you start the car fresh, then if you can monitor this and you will probably notice when you apply the brake tou might be seeing a voltage drop which in turn cause the attessa computer to shut off till you restart. This may not be the problem but its a starting point.

Cheers

PS good to see her nearly going>>>

On my (abs-removed) r32, I notice the torque gauge go back up to past 50% when I come to a complete stop. I can hear the rear boot relay clicking and my dash lights flicker each time. As soon as I accelerate, it goes back down and then acts normal, showing the torque split.

Hello all ,

been a litle while since i read this thread becauase i had a little "hissy fit " - frustrated - so i put the tools down for afew months - about to get back into it , so thanks for the added suggestions since i last visited. i have actuaslly sent you a message daniel in regards to manual attessa lock up - may have to go down this avenue before i lose it again ha ha.

Any way i will keep you intouch - if you have any other ideas ,please forward .

thanks guys. :bunny:

yeah no worries I am about to make one for myself so I can make you one also at the same time. I will be designing it all in cad, and using a willwood master cylinder, all aluminium naturally. Just working on the design as I want it to look as nice a possible.

You may need to resend your message again I think my inbox was full as I havent received it yet.

Cheers

Hi Daniel , my previous message was along the line s- of - How are you etc?

My car is coming along well - slowly but surely

If you are making a manual pump up set up , i have had your adapter plate and all was good , sure if you making one - would you mind making me one too , i will of course need a basic guide as to how i make it work etc .

send me a pm on how much you would like to make ,

thanks again, i still have the front diff centre that i promised you - just been really busy - not a good excuse i know !

    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
    • I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.
    • I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
