Maria,

Does your 'line have an active LSD diff or traction control??

Being a 1998 model it might..

Hmmm I'm not sure... I think it might I haven't had any traction problems when I take off from the lights and end up 4/5 car lengths in front? (without trying?)

Have a check on your dashboard for a A-LSD light when you start her up next time  :uh-huh:

LOL, ummm.... both really. Both have thier good points and sort of do different things.

Traction control would be great for big HP cars.

When you've got your clutch fixed, do a 5000rpm dump and see what she does :(:D

Andrew - sorry for hi-jacking your thread....

yeah very modified and costs a shitload of cash to even get it to that. Theyre a shit car to mod compared to something like the EVO. Even the AVO boss himself said it in an interview. He only likes EVOs and GTRs.

Not even massive HP - his old car (now mine) can just sit there off wasting away the tires if u just dump it.

Traction control just electronically regulates the throttle anyway - nice, but nothing a human can't do if on the ball. More useful on corners where it can counter human stupidity :( ATESSA though in a GTR is a whole different thing.

Hey, coool, you can buy aftermarket traction control kits .... (me thinking)

I've never heard of factory TC on any Skyline.

R34 GT-T has traction control on the turbo as standard. I think on some of the later R33 series 2 (97 or newer) it came with traction control also an option.

I don't think there are many aftermarket kits available actually.. racelogic makes one (UK) apparently. Prolly not cheap.

Did you get your r32? If so is it a silver one with Enkei's on it? If it is I though it was Keir Wilson's car (9 sec SA GTR)when I saw a silver GTR the other day in 7th St!. As far as worrying about Scoobs in town, the STI's arent your worry. The STI's that are modded are mainly show, not go. My mates 00 (non sti) has a fair bit of gear from APS, and has stax of torque down low, but will eat 300kw GEN 3's. Will pull hard from 1000 rpm and falls off about 6 1/2. As far as drags go, dunno. He wants his car to last. As far as track performance is concerned, the APS 600 HP car will just outrun his down Sandown main straight (and they have more tyres/suspension/balls thru the corners) BUT.....at a track day a while ago the 2nd fastest car (after the 600hp demo sube) was a fairly stockish r33! Give me a yell if this is you in the 32 with the Enkei's, I wana have a look at your car if I can.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
