R32 Gtr Diagnosis

[wooshh]

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.

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..

For mechanics, I take mine GTR to Brisbane tuning at wooloongabba- but there's also Godzilla motorsports (southside) or you could try Mercury Motorsports which is over your side of town.

Dan at Elite Racing is good too, but is down at Yatala so that may be a little too far given you are North side
