with the Extreme TSC (my 32 gtr also came with one which i havnt played with yet)

silly question,

im assuming when toggled to 4wd its not active at all and the usual system does what it does.

when ON, can someone confirm exactly what the gain is doing.

on the box, 0 = (standard) 10=(max front torque)

which it clearly not. 0 just = skiddies which is not standard

does 10 = standard as in as much 4wd a standard = grip

and 5 meaning half way so my gauge would only read %25 front torque? or does 10 give me more FWD torque than usual.

0 shouldn't equal rwd skids if its fitted correctly. I have an extremeTSC fitted to my 32 and my understanding is on 0 the attessa functions as normal. As you dial up the gain, it amplifies the signal to the attessa computer which results in more power being sent to the front wheels.

I understand its only in the R32 manual to put it into rearwheel drive and that is when its rolling just turn the key on and off (like a crash start) and it goes into RWD. I did this 2 days ago in my 32 to drop some lines. Great fun with 370kw....

Yeah there are different ways to go about it. The Full Race ETS computer does it all and can stop the system from priming or open the valve and deprime on the fly and vice versa. Which is neat, no need to stop and reset. Basically gives u complete control. However if you still have the A-LSD, when you cut power to the attessa to give you Rwd, you will also be cutting power to the diff, give u a single pegger.

I wouldn't worry about transfer damage. Myself and plenty of others have been running systems like this for years with no adverse affects. Even the Nissan manual explains how to put R33/34 into Rwd for dyno etc

Single pegger doesn't sound good.

What does the Nissan manual say in regards to getting it into Rwd?

It's been ages since I've done it so someone else can confirm. But it something like this:

Unplug the attessa plug above your right leg ( sitting in drivers set ) the one used for bleeding attessa,

Turn ignition on and within 10 seconds push the brake pedal at least 5 times,

Awd light should flash continuously and you are Rwd. Attessa valve should open and not prime system.

Like I said it been awhile so hopefully someone will confirm.

But it will be the same deal if you have A-LSD, will take out the diff also as they both work off the same pump unit.

I also have one of these that i got with the car. Think of the 2wd 4wd switch as like an on off switch when on 2wd the dial will do nothing at all and car will be rwd (mine still rotates front wheels if all 4 wheels are in the air, but torque gauge reads zero and wheels can be stopped by hand)

You can switch from 4wd to 2wd on the fly but not back again (have to turn off ignition to engage 4wd)

With switch on and dial set to 0 which my understanding was this was supposed to be standard (as in no controller fitted) car is fairly tail happy and it allows you to get fairly sideways before front torque pulls you back, as i understood it this sounded pretty consistent with standard r32 behaviour.

I usually leave mine at 0, if I'm pushing it abit and want less rear step out i turn it upto 3 or 4 if it's really wet i might have it on 6. I have never felt the need to go higher than that.

I know other systems (ruzik, hks etc) are much more comprehensive but the extreme tcs works pretty well for me, makes a massive difference especially in the wet.

Anyone have anymore experience with the HKS ETC?

I'm currently running the extreme TCS (came with the car) but a good friend of mine is giving me his HKS ETC.

I would assume from what I've heard the HKS gear is better??

Joey,

I have the HKS ETC and EDA in my car (my car used to belong to JMW on pg 1 of this post.)

I haven't used any other TSC, so I can't provide a comparison.

But I can confirm it gives full control of front torque in quite fine adjustments, with manual and auto modes as described in the gtroc link in JMW's post.

My understanding is that front torque can be locked at a desired level (or lack of) for all road speeds, automatically controlled by the ETC and EDA with a specified ceiling torque split value, or left as the standard attesa system would adjust.

Cheers,

Adam

Hi Adam

Thanks for the reply mate.

From what your saying the big advantage of the hks unit is that the front can be locked at a desired torque for any road speed. I'm guessing this makes a big difference for launching/drag racing.

Did you have problems with wear on the transfer case?

Cheers

Yeah that's right. Full override to a constant setting for any road speed, a drag race mode that uses the EDA to adjust front torque with speed, or normal mode that leaves the attessa system alone (i think).

The off setting seems to do the job most of the time. Hard to tell if that is any different to normal atessa having not driven a 33 gtr with the same power but normal attesa controller.

From what i understand, when on the unit overrides the stock settings with its own control system, more then amplifying/bending the sensor signals like some of the other devices mentioned seem to do.

To be honest I don't actually use it very much as I haven't run the car down the strip and i don't see any benefit to locking the torque split full time for most of my street/hills driving. IMO using the locked or EDA settings would make a big difference to launching (I think the EDA mode is more aggressive in increasing torque split to the front wheels), but i think if it was used often it would probably shorten the life of the drivetrain.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
