There is also another controller (that isn't listed in that thread). It's adjustable but 3 dials if memory serves me correct.

I had one although never installed it though as I acquired it not long before i sold the GTR. There is no branding on it or anything so not sure where it came from exactly, i should go and get it from my mates place.

Also interesting is the talk about the transfer case being there good gains are - and attending to that - seems they are catching on to what some have been doing for quite a long time where by some say the gains are 70% mechanical / 30% electronic.

Having driven a GTR weekend past without a stock transfer case vs my modded one (both 33R), the difference was utterly unbelievable. You'd think they were two different cars that's the level of difference between the two. Modded has so much more drive out of corners you feel like you are being pulled rather than pushed compared to unmodded where it feels like a GTR is very much still RWD until the system realises whats going on and tries to get the fronts working but once you are sideways/sliding it's too late anyway.

Regarding the transfer case mod, There was talk of this only being usefull if the case is buggered to begin with, I wil try find were i was reading but people were saying theres not much gain to be had if the case in in decent nick.

Still, I think it could always do with a freshen up, And the idea of a 4wd controller being able to set the load is great i think.

In other word, It could be set up to run like a full time 4wd, Though even then people have said that puts strain on the transfer case.

Did you have a 4WD controller on your GTR,  ?

If the transfer is in good working order, a good controller will do the same thing as the modded transfer by applying more torque to the front and you can control how much, so no RWD waiting for the fronts to kick in.however, ultimately the modded transfer can apply more torque than a standard one..obviously..So basically I'd just install a good controller, take your pick of brand and functions, and down the track if the box has to come out or the transfer is worn do the mods.

No controller at all in my car, never got around to putting the one I had in. It would've made difference I'm told, but obviously not as much as mechanically.

So just transfer case done, whatever that involves - I don't know exactly what Racepace do to it and as long as it works i don't care, but whatever it is the difference is really night/day

How much did this Mod cost? and what does it intail exactally?

basically its just squeezing an extra plate into the transfer, the transfer case is ( can't remember the exact number) about a 20 plate wet clutch system, and by shoe horning a plate or 2 extra in it obviously requires less pressure to lock up..

pretty sure all the parts ( including full set of new plates ) are about $600-$800 plus labour, so if you took the box out, I reckon around $1500..

that is my understanding from when I looked into it about a year ago, and actually pulled a transfer case apart,( still in pieces in the shed :wacko: ) might have a crack at it one day..

Great info here. That Ruzic controller seems to do it all and I especially love the digital display.

My BNR32 is going to be 25 years old next year so I'm in the market to replace the old CPUs, G-sensors, etc.

Has anyone tried the Full-Race controller? According to the website, it completely replaces the stock G-sensor and Full-Race was gracious enough to say that their product is microprocessor based twice.

I like the idea of replacing my whole G-sensor and installing a TSC at the same time. Any insights on the product?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
