the best ones around are from Paul Ruzic (mountainrunner on here). Or a custom setup if you have some genuinely unique requirement like a $500k time attack car.

the local ebay ones are $15 of variable resistors that cost $250....steer clear!

I have no idea about the skylab ones but I would be very surprised if they did even half of what the Ruzic ones do.

Well, I'm a daily-driver seeking for better handling.

A 2wd/4wd swith would be great for doing powerslide on a corner ( yeah, you know, when you want to give a ride to a friend lol..) and for drag purpose.

I might be tempting to learn how to track my gtr.

I have a Ruzic engineering (mountainrunner) one installed, I highly recommend, it only works on corners.

In other words no difference for straight-line purposes, which is why I asked about purpose.

There is a controller for drag-only, but the majority are for modifying how much front wheel torque during corners. I read about the two you mentioned but didn't find much info about them.....

Do you have an R32 GTR or newer?

What are people's thoughts on the Field ETS in comparison?

i have the field ets. found it works great. easily adjustable, forwards and cornering dials. i think it be more suited to track but maybe for drag too.

i did however buy a ruzic unit to install dew to it having more function.

Yes. a R32 GTR 90

The HKS kansai controller is the one that can be used for drag. Other than that and custom made applications like Mark Berry's R34, every other controller bends the signals in the standard ATTESSA computer.

But the effectiveness of those controllers is over a wide range. If you want to go bottom of the market just buy a variable resister from jaycar, don't pay that ebay guy $250 for the same thing.

Well, I don't want to mess with electronic. I did a BEST OFFER on ebay and I won the extremeTSC for 170$ shipped. For a better 4wd traction and a 2wd-4wd switch it's O.K priced.

seriously, why bother putting up a thread asking advice when you have no intention of taking any of it? everyone who posted here told you they were rubbish and gave you better options. duncan even told you how they worked and what they are made from (and he knows as he used to make his own AWD 'modifier') but you had made your mind up before you started the thread and just hoped someone would post up and tell you they are awesome. you just paid $170 for a $4 toggle switch (the AWD/RWD) a 80c fuse, and about $10 worth of variable resistor to alter the signal between g-sensor and attesa ecu, maybe $10 worth of a pretty case to hold the bits.

I don't mean to sound like a prick but it's frustrating when you make a thread and people with knowledge take time to answer your question and you just flatly refuse to listen at all. it's a waste of their time and yours as well.

For everyone's reference I found this page on the GTR canada forums that has pictures of this Skylab TSC.

I bought one of the local ebay ones before this thread was created.. so how effective are they? The comments in this thread are making me query whether its even worth installing.

Most people who bought the Skylab TSC or ebay one think its good, technologically its vastly inferior to a Ruzic controller, that said most people seem to think the Skylab TSC or similar is better than nothing.

If you can get a Ruzic one and have the money then go for it, I did the research and bought one and its great, I haven't played with it much of late in terms of settings but most people who have the Ruzic can attest to the difference it makes. I can't speak for any other controller because I only installed one of course :(

I just hope other people who read the thread will benefit from it. The op has made his choice, I can't see why he chose that particular one though...

yeah I guess the ebay thing is easy, its just that the profit they are making bugs me :(

anyway....every 32 gtr I've ever met needs a controller, even a basic one, so I'm sure he'll be happy with the difference

I like something clean. Where can I buy the cute little box? One time I tried playing with electronic on my car. I end up stalling on the highway! You make it seems like it's a easy job to do. Well, I'm a car detailer, I bet what I think is super easy to buff, you would be scared to burn the paint. Each one has his weakness.

2) All the options mentionned here was MINIMUM 450$. I don't want to put THAT much money on a TSC that I will only use in the street. So, the unit at 150$ seems to be right for me.

Luckily for me, the previous owner had fitted both the HKS EDA and the ETC. Hardest part has been finding any info on these, but this may help this guy understand the ATTESSA http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/99794-hks-torqu...o-function.html

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
