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..

  • 1 year later...

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?

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
