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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
