that flicking the car off thing...

Try this: While driving normally, put the car in neutrel, turn the car off, then after say 3 seconds while still rolling turn the car bak to ON and uv got RWD, so put into any gear and enjoy, but b weary, RWD + alot of power + being used to the AWD system = wall

How fast should the car be travelling when you turn it back on?

I've got a FIELD torque controller on my grey GTR. It has two dials that you can (supposedly) adjust between front, rear, and 4wd. I had to get the module removed to get through compliance and haven't found an auto-electrician who knows how to reconnect it and get it running properly. I think HKS make a similar product.

LOL...if GTRs are so good, why are you all wanting to try and convert your cars into lowly RD GTST:)

...runs and hides after stirring the pot:)

Funny that Roy, I totally agree, I've seen a heap of GTR/RWD threads in the last month :confused: Probably the best feature of a GTR is the 4wd, why not get some control over it instead of just disabling it.

.....of course you can still do that if you have to have some fun :D

Ok, I've recently aquired the locally made ATTESSA control system

Seriouly, all those of you who have recently bought an 32 gtr ( and whom have an R33/34) and which are 'trying' to embrace their newely found power'.. would be well aware that driving a GTR is not as easy as popular opion would have you to believe instictive to the young and brave.

It's many times repeted that R32 GTR's are a tad tail happy, and in my expience after owning a modified GTS-t I was not expecting (note 32) a GTR to behave as such.

Having miles of meadering hills right on the shoulder of Adelide, so enjoying a spirited drive (at the state assined 100km) through twisties is a blast and naturally a past time.

The controller brings on front torque much earlier and like my sisters WRX gives you that 4wd drive far ealier (not making you sheit your pants which = faster )

Eitherway - I vouch

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
