I recently put a microtech in my r32 gts-4, the car is all finished and up and running, but the 4wd system isnt working. It has the 3 lights on 4wd, hi-cas, and anti-lock. its the same as if you pulled the 4wd fuse in a gtr (yes i checked the fuse - and its fine)

can anyone point me in the right direction? has wiring diagrams? or can give me a hand(brisbane- northside)?

Cheers

u need to hook the tps signal wire from the attessa ecu upto the tps signal on the ecu (tee in the wire), i dont know what wire is the one as i dont have a gtr but it will be in the front near the ecu and coming from a big plug that runs to the rear of the car, im sure someone on here will have the colour or a diagram to help :D

I totally rewired the TPS for the microtech. so i assume then i need to run a wire from the tps to the attessa computer?

yes but you need a buffer circuit as the tps signal to the Microguess will be affected by the ATTESSA i have had something designed and built to compensate this probelm.

Microguess is right :laugh:, do you know what "specifications" each circuit needs to be so i can get a similar unit made up? Cheers for your help

or does anyone know where i can get a "premade" one?

Ok I have the EXACT same problem with a Microtech LT10S running a RB25DET (also the VCT is unplugged and microtech tech support were quite unhelpful on how I go about enabling it, or whether the ECU comes with the bit needed for it) I'd also be looking at some way to run just the Microtech with ATTESSA - It's got plugs on the loom to piggyback the standard GTS4 ECU, but then I'd have to sit it on the passenger side floor :S

I don't have the ABS light coming on though so I assume that works, and I have a HICAS lock bar (light only comes on occasionally when driving at 110km/h on freeways)

mine seems fine so far just hooked straight upto my autronic tps signal, what signs does it show if its not correct?

The attesa ecu needs to recieve 0-3.5v signal for the tps signal, the stock ecu outputs this signal from the 0-5v signal coming from the tps.

I have a link ecu and the voltage coming from the tps is 0.2-3.7v which is pretty close so i just hooked it up and it works fine.

Link use an op-amp with 0.7 gain to modify the signal in their plug in ecu's. You could get somebody to make you one for a case perhaps

If you have a 0-5v tps signal straight onto the attesa ecu, the ecu will think you have 100% throttle when your at 70% which is not really a bad thing, it will bring the 4wd on earlier :P

good info, so whats needed exactly to fix this, i have found a fair bit of understeer when going hard into corners as if 4wd is coming on too early, but not sure if thats normal or not

i have a fix for this

does anyone have a wiring diagram for a gts-4 by any chance (engine and attessa would be nice :D )?

engine diagrams are identical gtst/4 the see this thread, contact the member for a copy of the manual on cd.

you need to download the gtr wiring diagrams. i dont have them on me anymore, but on the biggest diagram, the plus is in the bottom left, i think its called wc3. you have to blow up the pics and print them out on a3 and you can nearly read thw colours, but you can follow the lines from the plug to the end of the wire.

There is a page just for the attesa/abs ecu, you can use a multi meter on the correct pin on the ecu and a long wire back to the cabin to find the correct wire.

i noticed that in your first post, hence i asked what exactly do i do or what do i need to buy or what do u want to sell me? :D

and a price would be good if u have got something for sale to fix it. I would like this asap as i have a track day soon and understeer sucks.

ok update, what i need is the attessa pin out, im going to run a wire from the microtech tps 0-5v wire.

I just looked to see whether the attessa was spitting out any error codes and the led was not flashing at all. made me think because if it was TPS it would be throwing code 21 shouldn't it?

      Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!

      Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.

      Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
