Ferni: I spoke to Ben at Racepace this afternoon and he certainly sounds like he knows his stuff.

He does modified and rebuilt transfer cases for approx $1200 using the 10 clutch packs and said they are excellent for circuit work.

I'll be sending my spare one down to him :(

When you are talking about an ATTESA controller, is this the same as a torque split controller?

Same

When on the race track, what exacly do you use it for (i think i know what it does - just adjusts/bias's if it should put power to the front wheels more or less?) Do you play with it on warm up laps, get it set to how you like for that day/conditions of track? or do you play with it constently during the race, or is it just set to 1 setting and thats it?

It's sorta like adj stabiliser bars, you can dial out power oversteer by adding more front bias. Or for understeer, vice versa. Different circuits have different settings as do different conditions, wet, dry, slippery, hot, cold etc. Or races are not long enough (20 minutes) for fuel load to get too exciting. :wassup:

I only use 3 settings out of the seven that the controller has, I never use the bottom 2 (rear bias) or the top 2 (front bias). We used to have a controller that had 2 circuits, one for the amount of bias and the other for rate of change. By the time I add in stabiliser bar adj, spring rate changes and adj shocks, my head aches thinking about what to change. :confused: So I keep it simple, the "real" driver uses more.

Hope that helps some more :(

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
