Hi guys, i need a bit of info for my GTR.

i took my car to a skid pan day during the weekend, and it was great fun. but the thing worries me is that i did it with my ATTESSA in place.

so just to compare my reading to someone else's, it will show me if there is anything wrong with it or not.

so mine reaches 10 kgm at 5000rpm in my 2nd gear. is that normal front torque?

thanx for any help.

I drive through some windy roads each day on my way to work. When the road is damp or wet, my torque split will rise to the same reading (~10kgm).

I'll offer one vote for everything is normal.

And when you say you did it with ATTESSA in place, are you confusing it with HICAS? I apologise if it was just a typo, but ATTESSA is your 4WD and HICAS is the 4WS that many track guys disable.

no, i know what you said, when i said attessa i meant that it gave me a really weird feeling on the skid pan when the front wheels start to kick in when i counter-steer, the car just goes into different direction. i thought constantly using the front wheels could have done something bad for it? no?

thanx for your input mate, seeing the similar figure makes me feel a lot better.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
