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.. :-)

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
