I was driving pretty hard this morning and noticed that my front torque guage locks to 0 when going around corners. Is this to help with the turn, like if the front wheels spin they won't hold traction to turn kinda like when you lose steering in a fwd.

if you lock the transfer case via the button, then move forward around a corner, i THINK it will still give you front torque. i dont have the gauge, but i can feel it in the front wheels

I don't have a button (rs4s) but it does corner very well. In my wife's car I'm unsettled turning above 40/50km in the stag 100km is nothing around a corner. Just wish I knew why my wheels feel square and why my abs shakes the car.

flat spots? lol

unless the car is sitting there for a few months, they wont flat spot.

is be checking other things like bushes and wheel bearings.

Nah, I used to have stupid Yokohamas that would flat spot overnight, and I'd be driving down the freeway trying to hang on to the wheel for the first 20km until they warmed up. Then they'd be fine.

F**kin' Yoko; ruined the Beatles, and my car...

:rofl:

hey mate, quick question. do you have hub locators (hub centric rings / centrebore locators) fitted with your mags? (73.1mm>66.1mm) if not i would say that could be why your car feels crappy under braking. also all of my rotors are warped, fronts i only notice when hot or light braking at high speeds and the rears only once hot and lightly coasting on brakes up to lights the car jerks/surges. (ive got r34 brakes and slotted rotors to go on but have been flat out)

He always is.

Oh that might be easier then.

Try to get alloy ones, some places will try to sell you plastic ones; they work; but they'll crack eventually...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
