One of these torque spilt controllers is mounted in my R33 GTR. I cant find any info on it, and it only has an email address printed on it.

Its hooked up, flip it to 2wd and the 4wd light comes on. Have not seen any differences in torque split when i turn the knob. Have not really messed with it much

Any experience with this particular model?

I guess i should have elaborated a little more. Sorry

I got the basics of it, but read that it doesn't switch the R33 to 2wd only?

Also, if the switch is accidently switched when driving, and i switch it back to 4wd, the 4wd light stays on. Is it not switching back to 4wd?

Probably because there is preload on the clutches, you can't really have 2WD. Also if the ATTESA registers a fault and the 4WD light comes on, it is unlikely to clear while the car is running, only after turning it off and on.

Next time its wet try taking a corner as fast as you can with knob on 0 then try again with it turned up. I notice a huge difference on 0 compared with 6 (i have never really had the need to go higher) works surprising well for how simple it is

I have one of these hooked up in my 33 GTS4.

From what I understand 32's Attessa system has a fuse and electronically engages the 4wd system while 33's have a viscus fluid and the system engages based on slip and the amount of G forces put on the fluid so only the 32s could use the 2wd/4wd switch.

I've found it to be pretty good for a simple controller, and certainly does add grip. It simply tricks the Atessa system to think you're slipping - how much R% F% is based on how much you turn up the dial. 10 = 50/50% while 0 = 100%/0% or that 95%/ 5% up front while normal driving, whatever the normal ratio is.

These are the only parts of your statement with any truth.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
