when the car is on the freeway, the car will drive alright, until it hits bumps in the road, then it feels like the front wheels are being engaged and disengaged over and over...

once it hits the bumps.... it will pretty much surge all the way to my destination.... regardless of road quality... going off the gas will make it go away for a short period... basically its a bitch to drive on the freeway.. everywhere else the car runs fine...

changed plugs gapped to 0.8m and fitted new ngk/ntk el falcon o2 sensor...........

any other suggestions?

Try sticking it in 4wd and see if that fixes it. If it does, then it's an ATTESSA problem, been playing around with the wiring lately?

BTW, Have you checked the ATTESSA fluid level?

:) cheers ;)

could my problem be the rubber?

235x45 front

255x40 rear

235mm X 45% = 105.75mm

255mm X 40% = 102.00mm

That's 3.7% difference, which is on the border line

If the rear tyres are more worn than the front tyres then that would make it worse

265mm X 40% = 106.00mm would be better.

Have you got some other wheels and tyres of the same size that you could test?

:D cheers :(

I reckon you should DEFINITLY put the same size/profile tires on each wheel and take it for a spin to see if it fixes the problem.

And it might be better to try 235/45 all round, as if that works OK you could do that permanently, where you may not want 255/40's on the front..

On a slight tangent, I'm doing a bit of a cleanup at the moment, and will be selling a few tires soon (not wheels). Comes from importing a couple of cars over the years, you get to keep the Japanese tires.., but I've decided I really don't need three entire spare sets for the car…

I've got two mint conditions 255/45 tires, and I think I've several good condition (ie 80%+) 235/45's, so PM me if you end up needing some rubber.. :-)

      Rb26 iron block limit

      By Curlyfred · Posted

      Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao

      What's this Foreign Object?

      It's a fuel pump. EFI, high pressure, but specs otherwise unknown. A bodge job.

      Rb26 iron block limit

      800 engine horsies is fine. Will need all the obvious upgrades. Rods, pistons, oil pump, big sump, sump breathing mods. Build for revs because revs are power with less stress on the bottom end compared to boost. Keep the torque down in the midrange, either by limiting boost or timing.

      Rb26 iron block limit

      By Curlyfred · Posted

      Hiya guys,    i’m currently in the process of getting my rb26 built. everything is being replaced with better/upgraded parts or oem when that’s good enough (which isn’t alot lol). someone earlier mentioned to me that i’ll be screwed cause the iron block can’t take 800hp (to the engine, not wheels) which is what it’s being built for.  what do you guys think about this, am I cooked or na? The guy building the engine will also do the mapping as he is “the guru of old nissan engines” here in Belgium. I know the mapping makes a huge deal so i’m not concerned about that.    I honestly he’s talking shit cause he’s that kinda guy but a second opinion never hurt anyone! cheers in advance! 🫶🏻

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
