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?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
