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

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
