A friend of mine has a Stagea (GTR wagon) and after putting a new (R34) engine in it, it has developed a surge (from driveline) at light throttle (cruise). At the same time, it is giving too much drive (according to the torque split gauge) to the front wheels. Seems like it thinks the rear whells are spinning.

I'm not sure about the surge in the driveline at light throttle, are the tailshaft unijoints tight maybe?

As for front torque there really shouldn't be any unless you are either taking a corner hard or accellerating bloody hard so it sounds like something is wrong there. Is he using the same size wheels and tyres front to rear?

We are aware that it shouyld not have any torque going to the front wheels under the conditions that you describe. That is the problem. It's getting too much torque to the front wheels. When it is driven hard, the sterring wheel is just about being riped out of his hand.

Wheels are the same.

The surge and the torque split problem are one in the same.

It had an R33 motor in it, and after an oil pump problem, it was replaced with an R34 engine.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the tps? As you can tell from my profile (and pic), I drive a Soarer. He hasn't got Internet access.

Did he put in *just* the motor from the R34, or the front diff as well? As you are no doubt aware, R33 and R34 diff ratios are different - could explain the problem.

If the diffs are OK, I'd be checking simple things like tyre pressures and wear, and perhaps try rotating front to back.

How's the clutch? Maybe it's worn and somehow creating the problem? I know on gear changes torque seems to be directed to the front... I was experiencing the same problem you describe on 2 occasions: 1/when I had a dodgy clutch 2/ when my inner edges were scrubbed and the ECU thought tyres were rotating at different rates front:rear.

I had a similar problem with my GTS4 - it turned out the connections to the TPS were a bit suss. Make sure they are connected properly, maybe use a bit of contact cleaner on the terminals as well.

You should know what a TPS is - its not an item specific to Nissans, Toyotas have them too.

How is the wiring harness from the ATTESA controller to the transfer case? If there is a poor contact or broken wire you get this sort of stuff happening. Did you reset the ECU's before you started the engine? It may also be worthwhile getting one of Impakt's diagnostic displays (like a Nissan Dealer Consult) and checking out the sensors. The R34 engine sensors are slightly different to the R33's. Did you swap ALL of the R33 sensors (off the old engine) when you changed over to the new engine?

There are a few more things you can try, but I suspect one of the above will be the problem. :D

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!

      If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
