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).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
