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?

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
