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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

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!

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
