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?

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
