I'm looking for info on the actuator that has the built in preload adjuster for the clutch actuation shaft. I have seen them and wondered what advantage there was to running one. I was also wondering if there was a difference between model years, R32, R33, R34. I've read that there is an upgrade to the stock one in that it reacts faster and applies more force at lock up.

Thanks

Mike

As you know the R32 GTR has no preload and the R33 GTR has some, but the 32/33 gtr gearbox/transfer case etc are exactly the same, ie. I;ve got a R32 gtr box in my R33 atm and everything is the same,,, ditto with the hydraulics aside from failsafe valve and A-LSD solenoid, the pre-load you speak of is completely controlled by the ETS computer.

for example, I can adjust/control the pre-load through my Full Race ETS controller.

So I'm not sure what preload adjuster you have seen...?

I know exactly what your referring to as I actually do the modifications to the actuators.

The actuator is modified so you can adjust the preload on the actual wet clutch pack inside the transfer case instead if relying on the atessa system to maintain residual line pressure.

The r33 clutch pack is slightly different internally.

A modified actuator lets you increase the minimum load on the clutch packs and decrease the lag time as the atessa system solonoid opens. It won't make the system react faster to sensor inputs.

What do you usually require to do this modification, the whole car ?>

No it doesn't lock the clutch pack tighter. If you do that you'll end up winding the transfer case up and smashing it to bits. Once the clutches are engaged that's it.

The modification to the actuator holds an adjustable amount of preload onto the actual clutch packs that is usually "free play" which the atessa hydraulic unit needs to take up before the awd will engage.

No don't require the car at all to do the modification. Just the transfer case actuator, push rod and about half hour on the phone to explain the setup procedure so it doesn't result in a smashed transfer case.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
