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.

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

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter?

      The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.

      See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?

      What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
