Hello. I am interested if anyone here changed the AWD model to mechanical launch? I know many drag GTRs just put the 20Bars of pressure into the transfer on the launch to make it 50-50 split and then release pressure during the run to 0 bar to make it 0-100. Do you know any device that will do this? Not controlled the factory pump which is unacurate and not reliable, but the completter replacement of stock parts to mechanical pump that makes pressure off the line and then releases it. I know many people on drag skylines made a kind of handbrake that pumps the pressure there before the launch and then release it with launch controll solenoid. do you know exactly how to do this?

Hydralic handbrake and a ball valve/solinoid valve and a pressure guage. Apply pressure to the clutch actuator to the desired pressure, lock the pressure with the valve, launch, 2nd gear- open the valve, drive over the finish line.

Very very simple.

seen a very similar thing on Ebay for a shiteload less than that lol

A lot of the torque controllers on ebay will not do what he wants...especially the only one I found when searching on ebay :banana:

there was also a guy on the forums whose name escapes me who makes these kind of torque split controllers, though it appears he wants something to replace the OEM pump as well?

Is it the Ruzic Engineering one that you are talking about?

just to clarify, the only controller that is any use for drag is the HKS Kansai one linked aboe, and they are very hard to find.

Every other attessa controller from the ebay one ($15 of parts for $250) up to mountainrunner's excellent ones use the same basic technique of bending the standard signals. The standard system already puts as much torque as it can to the front in a straight line so these controllers cannot increase front torque for drag use. They are absolutely excellent for track use though....

Agreed, the only difference is mountainrunner / ruzic engineering one is sooo much smarter than the ebay version. Either way, it was not designed for a drag situation.

The Grid-TS Dancer will do a constant split

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
