Fs: Attessa Controllers $350

[Duncan]

We are able to get hold of locally made Attessa controllers which work with R32, 33 and 34 GTRs and GTS4s.

These controllers allow you to choose from 10 settings from 100% rear drive to max available front torque.

$350, +$50 installation if you want us to do it for you...it is very simple though, 5 joins.

The kit uses the standard FM radio controls on the dash on the R32, or a switch on all other cars. An LED displays which setting you are at 1-10.

Pics will be posted in the next few days, as they are made to order you will need about 1 week's lead time.

[giant]

also duncan

i dont have standard radio in my r32 gtr, will this still work.

cheers russell

[Duncan]

Hey Russell, sorry we can't supply one to you, if you came first in class in Dutton QLD you don't need the extra help.

[Duncan]

of course....details sent by pm.

We can supply a switch for those that don't have the radio controls or if you want something less subtle

[giant]

hehe

well done mate

look forward to meeting you one day

[Yorik]

Damn it, just bought an M's ETS last week... Still interested to see some pics and info on this thing...

Does it wokr by constantly applying drive, or does it modify the amount of drive given by ATTESSA like the AutoSpeed example? Does it interface to the Front Torque guage too??

[CONRAD]

Very interested.. can't wait for the pics

[Duncan]

Hi all, pms all replied to, and a couple have been sold and we are making them up.

re Pics, I am still sourcing them, but there is really nothing to see....little black box with the brains, and LED and a switch to adjust up and down. Box lives in the console next the the g sensors, LED on the dash where the driver can see it and switch wherever suits

re operation....basically this works along the lines of the Autospeed one, it intercepts and modifies the output of the g sensors to get the required front torque.

Simple, which is why we can get them at a good price

Hi Duncan,

In regards to the standard radio operating the unit.. is that the toggle switches on the left of the drivers gauge consol as opposed to the centre consol (32)? My car came with an aftermarket stereo so not sure if the stanndard radio was mounted in the centre consol and like some modern cars there was also control switches nearer the driver. Cheers

[voona]

Dunc,

Put me down for one as well mate

[gtrken]

Oooh oooh , Duncan.

Put me down for one as my GTR will hopefully be here in about a month.

For those who haven't driven with a torque split controller in the wet, they are brilliant. Had a HKS one in my Targa GTR and it makes a big difference to the balance and control on unknown wet, slippery. scary roads...

I believe you can't get the HKS ones for R32's anymore but that is no excuse to raise the price

Cheers

Ken

[Jonneh Bravo]

this might sound dumb. but what do these things actually do??

[yaf28f]

Sorry, is this TSC excatly the same as the one by 'R32 combat' in WWW.GTR.CO.UK?

If so, I'm interested, but would like to at least see a picture of the gadget first.

Hi Ken, Correct me if I am wrong, but the HKS ETC units gave constant drive, like you dial in 35, they give 35 constantly, these units modify the way in which ATTESSA control is delivered, like the ones shown in AutoSpeed. This will give you no drive when you don't need it, but a different drive to the stock ATTESSA controller when it is needed dependant on the level selected by the driver..

I just recently purchased a Second hand M's ETS for $375, which I think works in the same manner as the HKS ETC units.. The HKS ETC is no longer available, the only ETC available anywhere seems to be the GRID units.

Sorry to hijack thread, just thought it would be good for people to repsond and to clear up any confusion.

Once again, Damn! This is about a week too late.. Otherwise I would probably get one of these, I am considering making my own one form the Autospeed articel anyway..

Hey Conrad, yes that's the radio controls I mean, the one on the dash not on the head unit. But don't worry too much about that, we can provide a seperate switch if you need, its just not as much of a stealth install then

yaf28f, it may well be similar, I don't know anything about the GTROC units. These were designed and are being built by a supplier in Sydney.

Yeah Yorik, that's right, the HKS units can provide a constant torque split, this does not. It basically increases the sensitivity of the sensor depending on the setting you choose, the effect is _more_ fwd when you need it.

And it is very effective....we generally run it on setting 3-4 on a dry track and 6-7 on a wet track, it provides plenty of FWD when you need it

[Duncan]

oh and sorry, pics still to come, we have been flat out trying to get the race car sorted for the Eastern Creek State Champs this weekend.

[Duncan]

BTW yaf28f I don't seem to be able to send you pm for some reason, please email me at xyz if you are interested.
