R32 GTS4 Attessa Mods?


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

Being a first timer on this list, I'd like to start off by saying that the whole Skylines Australia Forum kicks ass! Nice work people!

Anyway, I'll get on with this thread!

I've recently purchased an 1993 R32 GTS4 which is a huge step from my EFI SSS Stanza but find myself wanting more control over the automatic torque split. Has anyone out there had any experience with a torque split controller? I have some ideas of my own, but that would involve mainly disconnecting the G-Force sensors and having a manually controlled setup.

Cheers,

Zoobie

I think the important thing to note here is that (4WD) Skylines are primarily RWD cars. The ATTESSA system only kicks in when the computer judges that its necessary.

WRX and others, on the other hand, are primarily FWD, constantly feeding some drive to the rear wheels.

So the 2 cars should handle differently.

Really, there's no real problem with the attessa....it's basically the same as the GTR (minus the GTR diffs and 50+ KW,etc, etc) but when I first got the car, I drive it pretty hard around a particular left hand corner...only to find that when the boost came in, the rear snapped out....I kept on the loud pedal but had to abort as I was passed the point of no return and came to rest facing a gutter! My crappy tyres didn't help either. I don't normally drive like this anymore...not since that incident anyway.

I'm planning on putting a Wolf 3D (Plug-in...but you didn't hear it from me as it's still in the prototype stage) so I'd like to have the 4WD sorted out in the mean time.

As for the guy who wrote the article, I'd like to think that he just got smart and bought a real car!:lol: ....but I know where you're coming from..but seriously, I'd like to thank him for writing the article since it's going to help out heaps of gts4 enthusiasts!

Cheers,

Zoobie

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
