I'm not saying he doesn't know his thing. I'm just questioning him a bit more than most people would I guess.

How else do we learn if we don't question and challenge things.

I'd be more than happy to meet him and discuss this over a few beers.

In the meantime, I'm just looking for something on paper. I do find this an interesting topic ... lots of variables!

Well endorsements don't get much bette than that do they?

I'm serious about the beers Gary. If I'm ever in town or you're here PM me in all seriousness.

Beers have little appeal, Jack Daniels is OK though. When do I next get to Adelaide....Clipsal is run for this year, maybe the F3 round at Mallalla in May, if I am feeling masochistic.

Most guys find that on SAU that there is an almost unlimited amount of knowledge on Skylines, they just need to learn how to use the Advanced Search function properly. Give it a go, in the interim this is not a bad read;

Be carefull, a lot of the literature was released for the R32GTR and the Stagea ATTESA is more R33GTR (later generation).

Cheers

Reuben I udnerstand what you are saying, and there are a lot of people who don't know what they are talking about on the internet.

However one of the great things about SAU is there are some people who really know what they are talking about as well.

Gary is a suspension engineer who has been working on the NSW and national championship winning production and improved production race cars. I'm sure he has done a heap of work on testing exactly how the transfer case works. But understand that if he is paid for that testing he can't share specifics openly on the internet.

You won't find anything offical about how ATTESSA works other than what is in the 32 GTR service manual (unless you can read japanese, that is the only one in english). And there are plenty of unofficial opions on the internet if you want those, written down or not.

There is no doubt you need very closely sized tyres front and rear to keep the system happy. And since most stageas dont have a torque split gauge it is hard to tell when it is malfunctioning apart from a surging feeling.

Well now that I'm aware of Gary's portfolio, I'll take him more seriously ... but i still like to question and challenge topics. No harm in it. This is a forum afterall and forums have a reputation of being full of rubbish. Thats not discrediting Gary in any way ... I'm only emphasising that I like things on paper or I'll question it thoroughly.

Gary, thanks for the link. I found a few other sources on the topic, I'll have a read and link them too if they're useful.
