    Torque Split Needle jumping

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    '92 r32 gts4

    When cruising at a steady speed, pretty much no matter what speed my torque split needle has started to jump to about 5 percent then back to zero then back up again. My tyres are fine so I doubt it slips in and out of 4wd due to loss of traction. My shocks are stuffed, could that be it? Is there a sensor that causes the switch to 4wd and how do I check/test this? Will removing the 4wd fuse help?

    I'm a bit confused, any help would be appreciated.

    I have had HKS items, and I would say from my experience steer clear. They wore down in no time. I think they're made from aluminium or something, thats why they wear faster. I believe Tomei items are stainless steel and so last heaps longer.

    If someone would like to correct me here these please do. I'd rather know the truth than talk outta my arse, but my HKS experience wasn't a good one (WASTE of MONEY) and what I know I got from my engine builder.

    how wide can i go?

    I'm looking at buying rims soon.  What size wheel (width) can I fit onto my r32 gts4?  I want to get r33 gtr rims (17x9) but are scared they might be too wide.

    I've seen an s13 with 17x9's and it looked fine. Still, don't know about my car.

    If anyone else has any advice please urgently, I've got to make a choice soon.

    Thanks

    What to spend $4000 on?

    Veilside r33 recommended Focal speakers and I would have to say I definately agree with him there. Alpine speakers, unless you're buying their top of the line stuff are generally quite average. Focal are unbelievable, especially for the price, and mine sound easily twice as good as my friends alpine typer splits. I also like Boston Rallys and JL audio speakers.

    Alpine amps are good, but my money would be on an Eclipse amp. If you're hell bent on Alpine however they are a good amp choice nonetheless.

    With the headunit, I like Eclipse or Clarion (I have the clarion dxz746mp). Alpine are also good but for SQ the other two are the picks.

    Oh and sound deaden your door. I was quoted about $300 bucks for for them to do both front doors so at $150 a door its affordable. It'll make your midbass much better and stop road noise affecting your tweeter's detail.

    With subs, I'd go Pioneer (or DLS)! My friend's alpine type r sub sounds shithouse compared to his brothers (much) cheaper Rockford sub (which I though was shithouse before he bought the pioneer class d to power it), and if you read a lot of local car mags Pioneer subs tend to come first in the SQ marks. Pioneer's sound good when you give them a lot of power to play with, and that includes their $250 subs and upwards. They sell ready made subs in boxes too, the amp for a sub tends to be more important imo. DLS are good but generally more expensive and hard to source.

    Oh and make sure a reputable shop does the fitting. Proper installation makes a big difference. Don't let your 'mate who knows how to do it' touch anything!

    my 2c, hope it helps

    I'm gonna try and get pics of it up soon, its just hard as I've been very busy.

    The box itself is very small, about the size of a midi tower but slightly deeper.

    Box is made of mdf and has terminal cup.

    If anyone would like to come inspect it pm me.

    intercooler with rb20det piping

    in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)

    Hey guys & gals,

    I've been overwhelmed by the interest in the cooler & pipes despite knowing that the price was very reasonable.

    Thanks for all the interest, but both have now been sold to an anonymous bidder who expressed interest early on and has inspected the set.

    If that falls through of course expect to see this set back on sale.

    I also have a oil/air separator that gave me noticeable gains in performance for sale (all my friends in the passenger seat noticed a marked improvement). By removing oil fumes from the air to be combusted, good gains are to be had. That awesome green r32 from NZ, EVL32 or something had one, admittedly a lot bigger (and no doubt more xpensv) than mine.
