what is wrong with it?

It is showing RED. Initially it was WHITE but the AWD would'nt engage so, I took it out to clean the connections and in a matter of seconds after reinstalling it turned RED & has remained that way. The AWD no longer engages. Flushed the ATTESSA & installed new rotors & pads... no change.

From what I understand this is the source of my woes (Error code 13). Just need to know if they are rebuildable as I understand some units have remanufactured written on them. If it is, writeup instructions would be nice.

yeah 13 on the manual says:

"Fore-and-aft G sensor 1, fore-and-aft G sensor 2"

the manual says that if it turns red don't use it...

don't think it's rebuildable, just get a second hand green one...

if it has had an impact it'll turn red.

do you have the manual? if not PM me your email and I'll send the relevant pages for trouble shooting error 13

cheers

oooh nasty. As far as i'm aware they're not rebuildable. I got mine 2nd hand here in aus for 300 AUD. You really don't want to have it mailed as they're very sensitive to knocks. Don't know if anyone would guarantee it will get to you unbroken.

If anyone has a broken sensor they're just going to throw away I'd be interested in getting hold of it to pull apart (I'll pay postage). Basically it should contain just a set of accelerometers and some electronics. Accelerometers are a very common device and i have access to a range, so if it's possible to work out the type used it might be possible to do something in the way of a repair (no promises............).

      R32 goes out in right curves

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
