Looking the goods Jimmy.

Side pipes for the win!!!!

[GTR+450hp=no.licence]

Sweet build mate! Who made the aluminium door trims for you that are on the car now? Do you or anyone else know where to get the parts to convert an R32 to manual steering?

[JimmyRickard]

Thanks mate,Brad at Pro Fabrication made the door trims. Not sure what you mean by manual steering?

[GTR+450hp=no.licence]

Thanks mate, sorry i meant manual window winders like the race car has.

[JimmyRickard]

No idea I would love to know also! only ever seen it on the original calsonic gtr

[JimmyRickard]

Headin to Wakefield on Tuesday. Should be fun!

top effort mate, love the direction this build has gone and the level of detail, once the stickers are done it will look awesome!

[JimmyRickard]

cheers mate much appreciated!

Had a great day at Wakefield yesterday, few hiccups though. Blew the intercooler pipes off in the first two sessions and the the return line off the catch can in the third, but still managed to not miss a session. Been having a look at hard pipe kits, is that the best solution for this issue?

Also, looks like we need a 1.5 way diff in the rear as the standard on is unloading and slipping, and the attessa system is doing f**k all, so i don't know where to begin with that. Would an ETS pro or midori g sensor fix the issues or would it be something mechanical? Not sure how to approach it.

anyway lots of fun, I'll get some photos and vids up shortly.

dyno sheet from race solutions. car is pulling hard and I'm really happy with it, can't recommend race solutions enough:

Heya JR,

RE: 4WD not functioning well.

Confirm your G-sensor hasn't been whacked (check bulb on unit)

Bleed the ATTESA and check fluid level in boot.

Change fluid in transfer case if it hasn't been done for a while.

If that doesn't help, let me know and we can dig deeper.

Mark

PS: I like the direction of your build.

[JimmyRickard]

Thanks for the reply Mark. The G sensor bulb is red, but i was hoping it wasn't completely rooted. I would've thought if it was stuffed it wouldn't work at all though.

Should I just replace with a digital one? They appear to be cheaper than the OEM ones.

I recently replaced all fluids in the car so that shouldn't be an issue either.

To be honest I've had this car for a few years now, and it's never felt like the front wheels were doing much of anything. It's hard to establish if the 4WD is working at it's capacity when I have nothing to benchmark against.

[GOD12A]

First of all I'd grab a mate, go for a thrash and get loose while your mate watches the "front torque" pressure gauge on the dash to see if it moves (a little or heaps. obviously the looser you get the more pressure the gauge should read)

If you're half confident with a multimeter you can check the g-sensor function yourself.

I've never used an aftermarket g-sensor so can't comment, sorry.

My 32R gets pretty sideways before it decides to throw some power to the front, makes for a fun drive.

In saying that, if I launch it hard I'll see the gauge move every time.

My R32 is pretty quick to send power to the front wheels. Just taking off aggressively gets the gauge moving. Red means it's busted doesn't it?

[fatz]

Red means rs

[Duncan]

well it doesn't necessarily mean that....the "gauge" on the outside is just an indication it has taken a big hit, not a guarantee that it is farked.

But in this case...if you have a red sensor, and if fwd doesn't work....then it might be fair to guess it is dead

[JimmyRickard]

Yeah I think I'll grab a digital g sensor and go from there. Thanks guys

Vid doesn't work/is set to private.

Any luck finding a set of Panasports?

[JimmyRickard]

Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8mwhmwdn3ehefdu/20131217_103417.mp4

yeah and no luck with the panasports. there's a guy in the forums who has a set of Manaray Sports which look exactly the same, but they are staggered sizes so no good for me.

still keeping an eye out though!
