That said, the car is now being re-stripped and having the entire electrical system re-wired.  We can now remove all items that are required to be road legal, such as intrusion bars, doors, glass, air bags, seat belts and the various computer assisted controls that are no longer required (such as ABS, ATTESA and HICAS).

Maybe I'm being naive, but the idea of a GTR drag car is to use all FOUR wheels to deliver power ?

How would removing attesa be good ? It's just a 2wd GTS then!!

Just look at VL's.If you have sticky enough boot's and good sup setup I guess you don't need ATTESA,it's more weight to move.Also those 1000hp GTR's in japan only in 9's and the VL's are up with them.My 2cents.

What fuse on the GTR R32's?!

I would love to be able to put it into full RWD for a bit... just to see how it handles...  <_<  :lol:

they handle terrible, but spin the wheels ok!!

there really meant to be 4wd and obviously designed like that..

and with regards to the dyno run, they probably pull out the front drive shaft, only 4 bolts underneath the car, to dyno it it. (if its a 33) 32s, just pull the 4wd fuse link.

I would have thought ATESSA would have detected no traction under the rear wheels and engaged the fronts ?

But would there be a lack of traction under the rears? The wheels are still turning the rollers?

But would there be a lack of traction under the rears? The wheels are still turning the rollers?

The would not be lack of traction at the rear, but the large speed differential between the rotating rear wheels and stationary front wheels would make the ATTESSA system think there is a lack of traction and redistribute the power accordingly. Does that make any sense?

oops, haven't seen the vid. Assumed it was a 32.

You're correct, it is a little harder.

Ken

too hard obviously, not difficult to get those transfer cases smoking the clutch packs now is it. just visit gtr specialist workshops B)

yeah u must be far from an expert, the cam shaft control the opening and closing of valves to allow air into and out of the engine, then have nothing to do with ATTESSA

the shaft your are tihnk of may be the front drive shaft which goes from the transfer case to the front diff, yes as is mentioned above can be unbolted.

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.
