Transfer Case Modification "extra Clutchs"

[Rowdyr32]

My 32 gtr seems to really tail happy and I was wondering if anybody out there has done the modification to the transfer case where you add another clutch to lock it all up. I have a spare case and I was considering splitting both of the cases and build up one with the extra cluch to hopefully drive the front wheels a little faster so the car is more balanced when I gas it out of corners because at the moment the car just seems to oversteer and not four wheel drift/ drive hard out of the corner. There is drive to the front wheels but I want more. The engine and gearbox are out of the car next week so I thought I might give it a go. I have read bad things about the electronic controllers so I don't really want to go there.

If people with any experiance with this mod could help me out it would be much appriciated.

I have rebuilt a transfere case but never added extra clutches, I guess it can be done but I would be a little worried about not getting it right and the clutches wearing out due to contacting each other all the time. There isnt alot of room in their so make sure if you do it measure everything carefully to make there is enough ample room to allow for it. I just rebuilt mine with all new clutch plates and seals as the other where pretty worn and the gearbox I did it on only had a genuine 100k on it and never had a great deal of power so I would hate to see some of the thrashed ones...

Hope this helps!!!

Ring Ben at Race Pace, he does them using extra clutch packs.

Does anybody know of any skylines that have been modded by ben?

Yes Snowman's R34 has extra clutch plates. But what you really need in a 32 GTR is an adjustable controller like what I can get, check my sig

Our tuner is Jim Souvas....or can't that be right either....cause he works for CRD.

If you were at the last drag day you would have seen both of these guys crawling over our car doing all the necessary tweaks....and on a Sunday too.........

You really need to spend less time on your keyboard and more time at the track!

Gareth, heaps of people. Probably all, if not most of the track GTR's that come out of his workshop have been tinkered in varying ways and this is one of the mods.

Fair enough too if he wouldnt let out openly what is done. Give him a call and see what you can organise B)

From what i can translate from Tom it involves removing the thick clutch plates from the transfer case and replacing them with more thin ones. this gives the plates in the transfer clutch more surface area and stops/reduces clutch plate slippage.....much like a multi plate engine clutch.

After all this time I have the g/box out and the transfer case ready to be pulled apart. Waiting on buying a torx bit (Also go the g/box out in 1.5 hours a new record for me). I hope by reading the manual that if I measure the shim at the end of the retaining plate and the retaining ring I can see how much wear there is before I start or I can measure the thickness whilest its apart. It is not a big job pulling it apart by what I have read. Hopefully I will know by tomorrow night. Looking at the shim sizes there is like a few of you have said not a lot of space in there. I just find it wierd how one of my gtr's pulls around corners with the front and the other doesn't. Maybe I should have bleed the system and checked the diagnostics before I pulled it apart. I now have three transfer cases in my hands so I might just pick the one with the best lot of clutch's if I can't squeeze one more in there. I will let you all know shortly.
