Thought I would add this to try and dig up some info

The picture below is the brains for the 4WD system on the GIO GTR.

Its has removable chips for different 4WD bias. Now we just have to figure what the hell it all means. If anyone has any info it would be great to chat to you. The car came with two of these box's and three different numbered chips.....one of the box's was marked wet setup but it appears to have the same chip in it as the dry box. Which makes be think, being that it understeers quite badly at the moment as soon as you start clicking up to different setting that both box's have wet chips in it. Info would be great....would save us time and money on test days.

cheers

The way I understand it in that 1st clip where skaife explains it 'wet chip is used for the rain for constant 4wd' so it must bypass the g sensor, similar to the torque converter switch I have in my gtr 'extreme tsc' brand

More crack smoking Roy? :thumbsup: lol

My bucket of bolts 32 on road tyres is quicker around Lakeside the Seto in a Group A 80's era Mustang on slicks. In fact I think it's quicker than any of the Group A's that have visited the track in recent years?

Seto in the M3 was damn quick at PI last year. Showed how quick the old buses go if steered hard.

But i agree, that there are plenty of road-track cars that are near as quick/quicker then these things. But thats not the point, I have seen what goes into the build/resto of these things and you can understand why they are not drive a 10/10ths. There is still a level of bespoked engineering and hard to find parts in these cars so who would want to break them....lol I am about dumb enough to get caught up in the moment and push . But ey that lack of self control translates to why in this lifetime I will never have the money to buy and punt one of these cars :thumbsup:

And Marlin, you may be perhaps quicker...but your thing will never scream like the 31s :)

oh...edit...looking at Natsoft i cant see the times form last Spetember. I cant see anything about their last visit to Lakeside regarding times or a Mustang being entered...or Was Seton there just testing a car at a non race day?

I would love to build a replica of the Dick Johnson Mustang, Could flog the ass off it and not care, the fox body mustangs are worth sweet FA in the states anyhow.

probably the equivalent of buying a vn commodore here lol

if its registered & has new tyres, its worth more haha

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
