Want to know how I can bypass the heavy steering in my r32 has anyone done this by simply wiring in 12v to the plug in the rack?

My speedo cable isn't attached so Its normal steering until about 2 mins into the drive it goes heavy

And no I can't just re attach the cable as I have a 25 box and am waiting on a conversion part to come in and I want no heavy steering for matsuri in 2 weeks.

I've been searching and the most I've found is that someone said it can be done by some wiring.

Any other ways to bypass it without removing the solenoid and blanking it off completely?

Thanks guys

I thought the change from low to high power assist was a hard cut but perhaps it's not.

Perhaps it alters the duty cycle of the solenoid to give a smooth transition, thus variable power assist?

If this is the case, I can understand why they wouldn't want the solenoid activated constantly.

I can't comment much as I don't fully understand it , my mate was the brains behind it.

But if I'm correct 12v would make the steering feel rediculously light, or heavy. I forgot.

We tried a few different settings as there are 5 settings on the converter.

You could wire in a dial/switch and change it to your liking however I'm happy with how it feels at 5v so I didn't.

I shot this question to a pretty clever bloke on the UK forum and he suggested a 12V PWM running 80% duty cycle at 200Hz.

Then I did some Googling to find out what a bloody PWM was and surprise, surprise it's not all that difficult.

But if your reduced voltage works, then that's good.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
