Quick question regarding mounting the digital sensors...

Do they need to be mounted in the exact centre of the car - or at least in the exact same spot as the original sensor?

Also curious about this.

anyone else had experiences with these units?

You will have to do some research for current info

I understand both brands do a standard and a higher tweaked unit. (they are likely the same unit/technology if you see pictures of both side by side, maybe a different colour casing)

Also look at the capabilities of the ETS Pro? before rushing out and buying a unit.

Yep I'd hold off.

I bought the Midori one and - though it's been back to Midori for testing - found it to at least be reporting a fake signal to my V-Spec's digital G display.

Although they aren't driven the same route - you can see that with the Midori unit in place the G display is shunted to the left whenever the vehicle is in motion.

I'd love some advice on this issue if anyone has any!

What you see is how they work. I make the Skylab Fusion digital torque split controllers in the UK.

All these units so is tweek the voltage coming out of the G Sensor. Well, thats a simplified version.

What you see on the screen related directly to the voltage output from the G sensor. When the dot is in the middle, the G sensor is outputting 2.5 volts. 1.2G is 0.5 or 4.5v depending on direction. The usual ratio is linear. What my controller does , and all the others is alter the relationship between actual G and what the ATTESA sees.

This is why you cannot use them accurately with the R34 Display.

Just doing a price round up as I previously mentioned my attessa unit is busted and I need a new one:

Tarzan G Box - $ 648.65 - http://www.nengun.com/do-luck/tarzan-g-box

Midori Digital - $ 560.48 - http://www.nengun.com/midori-seibi/midori-spec-digital-g-sensor

ETS Pro - $599 - http://www.full-race.com/store/r14-awd-skyline/ets-pro-center-diff-torque-split-controller-for-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gt-r-1.html

Am I missing any? Haven't found any more info on Ruzic's G Sensor replacement. Is there any difference between these three?

These are all 100% OEM replacements?

Skylab Fusion $420

Firstly - THANK YOU.

You've been the only person (including Midori Seibi) whose been able to answer my question!

So, to confirm, the jump to the left is purely a miscommunication between the G-Sensor and the MFD, caused by an increase in voltage by the Digital Sensor and not a fault.

If that's the case you've made this old man very happy and very relieved!

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!!

Yes, there is no error, its just the way it works. What you have experienced with Midori Seibi is an unwillingness to be co-operate with the seller. They know exactly what their controllers do and what their short comings are. All controllers that work this way will have this effect. What you can do it leave the original G-Sensor wired just to the MFD. That way the G you see is accurate and the controller can still work.

A quick update to this thread, I ended up getting a Do-Luck DTMII and blew it up trying to wire in the throttle cable :cheers:

Now I'm the market again for a g sensor. Is there any new products on the market? The Skylab looks interesting, anyone got one?

Is it PnP?

Er huh?

Don't get it? I replaced my one with the Tarzan G-Sensor and the display is now working A-OK
No extra wiring needed...

Maybe it's an update but the new unit I have works fine with the display.

Out of interest, how did you wire it for it to fry itself?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
