Best AWD/4WD torque split controller

Hi all,

I did a quick search but did not find anything which really satisfied me

I am looking at options for a awd controller

From what I hear the ETS pro is the latest and greatest but still applies line pressure even in 2wd mode and can cause transfer failures, are failures common? Has this been raised with full race?

Ruzic is no longer available but was considered the best, it still used the factory analogue sensor though, would this still be considered better than the ETS pro?

 

cheers

Exquisit. I've had both.
The ets pro definitely does apply pressure when in 2wd. It turns the hydraulic pump off and does not prime. I had mine (r33) on hoist and fronts didn't turn.
Runic was good for track but much more subtle difference. Ets pro can be turned up, very aggressive. And 2wd mode can be fun.

Thanks richard

So even though it applies pressure in 2wd mode it does not turn the fronts at all, so the premature wear would be minimal at least in 2wd mode

It would be interesting to see how the car behaves on a hoist with the setting in awd mode, is it suppose to drive all 4 even though the g sensor does not detect it is moving?

Ets seems to be better as it is newer and uses its own g sensor but I am concerned about premature wear on a street car

Had both Ruzic and the Full-Race controllers, both good, but the dial and new G-Sensor make the Full-Race the winner.

.....I got a little creative and moved the controls to the steering wheel.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
