Cool, I'd be interested to see how it works for you. I thought the Attessa relied on a signal from the ABS or something but I guess not.

So I have a power goal of 600 HP + at the flywheel

Garrett -5 turbos

Tomei dumps

Nissan manifolds

Standard head

Tomei cam gears

Tomei fuel rail & reg

Nismo 600cc injectors

Standard crank

Forged rods & pistons

ARC cooler

Haven't sorted front pipe yet...I do have one that's a bit beat up but was thinking of using it and trying to do a side exiting exhaust.

Something similar to this:

http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/78553-exhaust-turn-down-track-pipe-any-interest/

Has anyone done anything similar?

My worry is the ground clearance for the turn-down piece that will be fabricated to bolt to the front-pipe exit as it won't have the trans tunnel to follow like a normal rear exiting exhaust does...also will most likely be quite loud?

It does, or at least the ABS is part of the Attessa computer. Hydraulic bypass won't affect the Attessa computer though.

On a side note, I disagree pretty strongly with the statement on their website "Removing ABS for a track driven car is a must and is strongly suggested. ABS modules are known to kick in under hard braking or in the wet unexpectidely. "

ummm....no

I am thinking it's going to have to be a Haltech Platinum Pro mate. Keen to have the ability to run 98, flex or full E85

Don't suppose anyone has one for sale...?

if you have the Kesh get the new elite. It shits all over the plat pro tuning wise.

Damn Elitists !

Is it available now?

Is there a comparison table of features Pro V Elite ?

Edit:

Not sure the new features of the Elite will make a difference to the 32 GTR

Maybe some easier tuning.

Looks to be aimed at newer vehicles and a wider variety

Ultimate tunes have one being tuned right now, and went over it all with me. For a track oriented car it would make a difference.

ummm....no

With some decent tyres the kinds of line pressures you generate are enough to pretty much stop the old absent from working anyway. I can't remember the abs activating in the dry on track. Not in the wet either but it doesn't rain much over here either.

Also the cycle rate is so slooooow.

I'm running a full AGI cage in my car, easy to install quailty is second to non.

IMO. the chaces of going on your lid, isn't the biggest worry, it's side impact...The AGI seems up for the task.

As the 600 plus horse power.... Just empty your wallet now :no: .... IMO.... Good luck though, keen to watch the build

don't be little girly Robbie.

E85 Flex all the way.

Then you get best of both worlds.

Just can't go passed E85 mate. Its well worth it.

  • 4 weeks later...

Cheers Nigel. Haha yeh spot on mate. Cage looking very nice...looks like you went for the top of line!

Yeah mate E85 is locked in now! Obviously Nismo injectors will now be redundant.

Been plenty happening on this but no time to get any photos/post on here

The following parts have been ordered/have arrived:

Tomei oil pump

Tomei cam gears

Tomei sump baffle

Tomei fuel rail

Greddy pulley set (aluminium)

Nismo gearbox mount

Kansai Service Transmission Member Collars

OS Giken O/H Kit Set A for TS2B Clutch Kit

Fuel set up still to be sorted, so far it's as follows:

Factory HICAS hard lines

1150cc Bosch injectors (stainless steel internals)

3L surge tank (anodised)

Holley Dominator 1800 fuel pump (ss internals)

Unsure on FPR - any suggestions?

May as well go Tomei FPR while you're at it

Not sure it will be compatible with e85 long-term? (internally)

Also have purchased:

-5 turbos (near new)

Tomei dumps (near new)

Engine has been pulled down and the plan so far is:

N1 block (near new) - to be torque plate bored/honed, crack tested etc

Revised lated model OEM crank - to be linished etc

Ross balancer

Tomei oil pump (new)

Tomei sump baffle

Sump extension using plate ally (8.5L capacity)

Head - to be cleaned

ARP head studs

Hi Octane cam baffles

Nitto head drain kit

N1 water pump

Yet to look into:

1. Forged pistons

2. Forged rods

3. Springs

4. Camshafts

Any input/advice/feedback re the above 4 items is always appreciated! :thumbsup:

Thanks mate. Will get a quote

what I have been told however (yet to be confirmed) is that E85 rots R32 GTR fuel tanks over time.

If someone else can confirm this, will the slim shady please stand up!

Haven't heard that...anyone had any experience with this?

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
