Hi, I am still interested in a TSC, but with an analog Dial. Don't want another flashing LED near the Dash, I wouldn't plan to adjust it very often. and it would be easier to swap it to another car or sell later on.

Will it take long to make one up with a dial? thanks for the pictures, they look much smaller than the ones they were selling in the GTR.CO.UK ones.

Are these g-grid???

Hi mate, no these are not g-grid controllers, they are made locally, and are very effective :D

Thanks Yorik, got your order, we will organise it next week on our return from Targa

hey do u have any pics yet??

i will b interested when my GTR arrives later this month

Hi l005e, please see my earlier post (#39). There are no visible parts to the controllers except a switch to adjust more or less torque, and an LED to indicate the level. The box hidden under the console - Mark posted a pic of the internals in post #34.

:rofl:

there are still units available for those who are interested :)

OK here is the long awaited external pic. The black box goes all the work and lives under your console.

The red, black, blue and green wires are connected to your g sensor, the led is mounted in the dash where you can see it, and the yellow, pink and blue wires in the black cover go to the switch (whether radio controls or regular switch).

The kit comes with full installation instructions including pics.

Hi Tony....nope we can't get 100% front torque.

What we can and do get is "maximum" front torque as shown on the torque split guage when used with a healthy transfer case. I don't know how much that is exactly but the 32 GTR system cannot provide 100% front torque (ie all FWD no RWD).

Hi,

So basically, i would want this controller if i wanted to be able to switch from Full RWD to normal type attessa mode at an instant?

as you say 100% available front tourqe, so its not switching in a permanent 40-60 split or anything, its just letting atesssa do its job?

am i understanding correctly?

thanks v much.

love the stealth install with teh am/fm radio buttons.

Basically the way the gtr splits its front wheel torque is the sharper the corner it goes around the less drive goes to the front wheels this is to make it fell like a rear wheel drive car around corners (so as to make it an oversteerer on powering out as opposed to a constant four wheel drive car which understeers on power out) The car knows how sharp a corner it is going around by feedback from the lateral g sensor (located under the console) if you degrade the signal coming out of the g sensor it will transfer more torque to the front wheels on corners and this is adjustable in 10 steps, but it wont give you a constant 50/50 split or any other degree of constant split, but it will give you a way of adjusting how much front split you have on corners which is where most people want it. So as to balance the car better on the exit of corners to suit your driving style or road conditions (wet/slippery). As Duncan has already said they are a very effective device

Also this device will switch the car into 2 wheel drive mode on r32 gtrs same as pulling the fuse on the attessa computer or there is another mode which allows the front split to come on very moderately which is good if you want the car to be taily like for drifting

I can vouch for these units - have had one installed in my R33 for about 6 months now, and it has been one of the best things I have done to the car. Left on "1" the car drives totally normally, with progressively more cornering grip until about "5" or "6" in the dry. In the wet, on "10" when the light is permanently green, I could not get the car to oversteer at all when I tramped it around a roundabout on hotmix asphalt in pouring rain, although my car is pretty mild (only 240awkw). As has been previously mentioned, it does not help with launching in a straight line, is only for those who want more grip around corners. You do get a bit more understeer in the higher modes in the dry, but easily dialed out with suspension adjustments/swaybars etc. Installation took 30mins, and is very unobtrusive - on my 33, I just have a switch mounted behind the gearleaver to change modes.

Definitely a quality gizmo.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
