I would say that there is absolutely no problem with running WMI, just so long as you do it properly. You need a good ECU so that you can have safety maps. You either need a really robust WMI system with enough sensors to know when it is working or broken and with a reliable output to the ECU so that the ECU can know also and go to safety, OR, you run it with the very decent ECU with enough sensors for safety.

The ECU needs to also be handling boost control - because you can't make power without boost and you can't run big boost even with "safe" maps when you don't have your WMI available.

The smart approach would be to have EGT monitoring on each cylinder as a last ditch safety catch, that will cause the ECU to go to safety if temp limits are exceeded. So you're looking at top end Haltech/Link/Syvecs/Motec level gear here.

lots of good info there, I know on my old dodge cummins 12 valves we plumb in egt probes into the exhaust manifold for an accurate reading. I already have a haltec on the car with just a basemap for the twins(2860's). haven't been able to tune it yet its cold as hell out just tried it a couple times when I replaced the g sensor. ill post what I end up running but I think im just gunna bite the bullet and get some race fuel. cheers mate. 

I currently just popped a code 24 on my atessa Ecu. My Abs light and 4wd light on. No 4wd forsure I have it on stands and front tourque gauge won’t move. Wheels do spin but it’s just a little bit. I’m thinking nitrogen accumulator. Need help tho been a 6 day battle lol. I had a code 13 weeks ago fixed it with du lock g sensor v2. 

* downloads workshop manual *
24 or continually on = ETS contol unit, ground or circuit

Oh dear, sounds like a dodgy connection somewhere. Maybe take the Computer apart and check the plugs/solder joints (assuming you've done the other diagnosis steps).

I have a thread going in general maintenance about all the crap ive been through with my 4wd lately. I fixed the ets cu issue with a new used ecu. still trying to figure what killed my old one, all the connectors look very clean. I also took apart the old ecu it looked mint I have pictures posted on the topic.  no other codes on the ets unit other than code 24 and it only threw it when car was running. cheers mate thanks for help. I thought  I knew a lot about these cars but im finding out I still have much to learn.

If anyone out there has a r32 GTR and they plan on doing all their own maintenance from there own garage, print this off. it will be your new best friend. With this manual tackling more difficult jobs are possible, and will save you money trouble shooting. Buy a compression tester and a good voltage meter. Cheers I’m gunna post my body restore in about 2 weeks. New weather striping, glass, felts, gunna do a nismo interior. Will keep posted cheers.

Thread hijack here ? 

Hehe. My manual is neatly binded love it. Goldmine of info. I've heard there is a body and electrics manual for 32/33 but can't find this. Anyone heard of this or am I chasing a Unicorn? ?

the only other manual I know about and have is the rb26dett engine manual. very indepth detail for tear down and rebuild. as far as the electrical manual goes I don't think there any. ive had lots of in depth wiring issues with this car that I have solved with  he bnr32 manual. all the electrical is in there throughout the manual. if your having issues with your 32 electrically im sure I can help, cheers m8. my car is currently being restrored new glass, weather stripping, felts, gunna be absdolutely mint cant wait to post some pics of her for the boys  when shes done.  also building custom 4 inch exhaust all the way back with a new tune on WMI. will keep posted.

The Aussie 32gtr manual is the complete engine and chassis manual.  The 33 manual you speak of is the R33 chassis manual, not the more common 33 engine manual, both sold by jpnz. Don't know of any electronic version out there to download for that manual...

Is the Aussie 32 manual the same as that one I have printed out? Finally had a nice day to take the 32 in for paint. Will post again in a couple weeks with pictures.

good stuff. off topic question here I know its being covered a million times all over the forum, but my single plate clutch has started slipping after new exhaust and turning boost up to 1.2 bar with tune on e85.  leaning towards Nismo twin or orc twin. unless im out of the loop in clutch technology these seemed like good options for my setup(ive had the orc twin it was kind of tricky to drive on street but hooked up nice when needed. 450whp on e85 tuned with haltec and I wont be changing my setup for a long time.  cheers.

super cold lately in Canada last few weeks so I fired up the old arc welder and took a shot and making my own 4” exhaust with test pipe delete. Welds are about as pretty as my grandmothers skin tags but she’s sealed up nice and sounds not bad with a hks muff at the back! Farm built that’s how we do it?

Was able to get the hks muffler cleaned up and shining again from her 25 year old life....cost me 250 Canadian dollars to build. Sure nice to not have to deal with that crap 3” test pipe now. Gunna crank the boost and retune on e85 now. Happy easy breathing rb now! Definitely lost some low end power with the 4” with my setup. Egt’s are much lower now which was my goal.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
