Good news, these are available again.

PMs sent to those on the waiting list, and there should be a couple of units left over anyone else who wants them

hey mate, pretty keen, had a quick read through the posts but there are too many and im in a hurry. :)

Just wanted to know if this can transfer 100% to the rear wheels?

Cheers. :sorcerer:

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been getting notifications for this thread. :P

As mark said there are 4 ready to go atm, pm sent with details!

DWN80Y the only things you can see when its installed are an LED to show the split level and a button to adjust up or down.

zertek yes it can, but only safely in a r32.

Well...the basic theory is the same, and we originally started with something simple like the ebay ones.

But after testing they just didn't work as well which led to the ones we have now - with a program on a chip. The dial ones are pretty crude adjustments.

Check out this thread, Giant has a very quick track GTR and has tried the simple style ones and uses our one now instead....and he has got around Wakefield Park in 1.04.1..... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=171761

Thanks for the reply Duncan, gives me some more info to digest and research to do, I think I will get my transfer case checked out while my clutch is fitted to be confident in using one of these

I was originally going to build a torque controller from a circuit that Julian Edgar had posted on the web years ago, which i believe that the ones on ebay are based on. but thought it was too bulky for a start and also required some work with resistors and such to tune the op-amps to give the correct input-output ratio, which is not that much of a problem if your doing a one off but if you intend to sell them this can become troublesome because if you are going to tune it properly it would take some time or you would have to use trimpots which can easily come out of adjustment with vibration and the like.

When microchip released this version of their PIC chip I thought it would be perfect for such a job because all of the analogue to digital conversion (for the input) and pulse width modulation (for the output) could be done on the chip without the need for bulky add on chips to do such functions thereby keeping size to a minimum (70mm * 40mm). The all important input-output ratio of my devices is always linear by virtue of the accuracy of the PIC chip, the same cannot be said of an analogue controller that was owned by a friend that I had tested it was all over the place at the high ends of the scale, the more the voltage swing the more inaccurate (input-output ratio) it became.

My units are small enough to fit under the console and most guys with R32s usually use the in most cases redundant AM/FM radio tune buttons on the left hand side of the dash to select between different modes. This is particulary useful for guys who race them and want to change modes on the fly, just have to tap the button up or down depending whether you need more or less front bias. There are 10 modes from 1 normal factory setting to 10 which is MAX front bias these modes are all indicated by a LED to let you know what mode your in by flashing a number of times corresponding to the mode number, this will only flash when you start the car or change mode. It also has 2 other modes which are 1) 2wd mode just like pulling the fuse in the R32 (and should only really be used in a R32). 2) A mode which allows little bias to the front wheels thereby letting you spin the rears very easily (although eventually the ATTESA intervenes and pulls the fronts in.)

Although my units are more expensive than the ones on E-Bay I believe they are much more precise and are definately much smaller

These are the least blingy thing you can do for your GTR. If you are looking for more noise, flash, HP or whatever - look elsewhere. All you get is a very nondescript switch and a little LED.

On the other hand - if you want your GTR to handle like its on rails - buy one of these. Very noticable improvement on the track and I did DECA last weekend with one in. OMG - they should ban the damm thing on a skid pad it is so good (very slick pad so I ran it at 7).

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
