hey all,

first post here on sau although i've been a long time reader and learner. I have purchaced an r32 gtr 94' not v-spec. 77,xxx k's on the clock. its a beautiful machine there are just a few things that are bothering me. so if you have any past experiences or opinions i would love some help.

the 3 major problems are:

1st- i am getting error code 16 on my altessa ets ( lateral g sensor ) i pulled up the glove box, had a look at the unit its self the indicator is not displaying red so i am assuming the unit its self is fine. what else can it be. tried checking the harness terminals for 2.5v but multimeter is displaying "open line" what could this mean?

2nd - at times when shifting down gears the clutch will engage very early coming from 3rd to 2nd and make a slight grinding sound, i thought it could possibly be the throwout bearing but i am no mechanic and my opinion really counts for shit due to my ill understanding of how the clutch and transfer case work

3rd - the tachmeter will bounce all over the place sometimes displaying off the chart readings whilst maintaining normal revs.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know everyone is going to tell me to take it to a mechanic, which brings me to my next question. I live on the northside of brisbane and I'm looking for a reputable mechanic, not some junkie from east coast that will promise the world and deliver nothing. is there any body who specialises in 32gtr's? travel around bris is not an issue.

please if you need pics or anything please ask i would be more than happy to supply anything you need to make an assessment.

thanks sau.

Lewis

I've had the tacho problem. Apparently it's very common. I replaced it with a used one with lower KM's hehe cost $40 to install.

The ATTESSA problem will be related to the sensor "or its circuit". If the sensor appears to be intact, it would then be that the power supply to the sensor has been broken. Have you drill any holes, screwed any screws, recently?

The clutch problem might just be that you are a bit quick with the clutch release (pedal up) process. Try slowing it down a bit.

I have not drilled any holes personally, however there has been a turbo timer fitted. I believe the power to my clock has been used, could this in any way effect the g sensor or the attessa system. The problem only appears to occour when the car hasn't been driven for a while and cold. how can I locate the power supply and test it?

finally, is there a way i can repair my tacho without replacing the whole cluster?

thankyou to everyone who is helping out..

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.

      Wont start unless i have the pedal to the floor

      Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.

      It actually means give it less throttle.

      Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
