It's written in Jap so a bit hard to translate.

What info do you need to know as I used to have one in mine?

Cheers

Ken

Hi Ken;

To answer your question; everything really. Connections woud be a great start, but anything else you could advise on would be a great help also and very welcome.

You wrote that you did have one. Could I ask please why you don't have it any more ie Were you unhappy with it or was it a matter of parting with the car?

Regards,

Mark

It went with the car.

Connections plug in between the ATTESSA computer under the rear parcel shelf ( on a 32GTR ) and the harness. The plugs are foolprooof and have male/female style connections which go into the computer and the car wiring harness.

The harness goes into the car up near the console ( or where ever you want the control box ) and the box plugs into it.

There will be a spare plug which is for the optional drag adapter.

That's it, once the car starts you can turn it to on and wind the knobs and watch the front torque gauge move.

Coarse setting steps it up in increments of about 10 on the gauge and the fine is in increments of 1 or 2 ( can't remember, it's been a while )

With it on the car is impossible to push by hand around a corner and the car will feel like it's " binding ". This is because the 4 wd is permanantly on.

The auto setting will disengage the torque controller below 15kmh and above that it will go to a preset level ( which I think is about 25 on the gauge ).

If you try to wind the coarse setting up too quickly , it may bring the 4 wd light on. I think this is because the pump is having a little hernia!

If it happens just turn the controller back down, switch the car off and retry again but slower.

I have a rough english translation of the book here somewhere but of the 3-4 pages , most is just the usual Jap warning stuff and the essential info is only minimal.

They are a good thing but be warned that prolonged constant use will wear the transfer case clutch packs out prematurely.

Hi Ken;

Thanks indeed for this. Did you find out about clutch pack wear from experience?

You wrote that 4wd is permanently 'on'. I thought that it worked by channelling more torque to the front, sooner. As opposed to having the 4wd permanently activated?

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
