haha well the ones in my sig are the same, except they are locally made and supported, and nice and cheap at 350 brand new.

HKS do have a different model though, the drag adapter gives a constant front/rear split up to 50/50 - which is needed for drag since all the other controllers do not change the standard system in a straight line, only in corners

better not be lol....got a link?

50/50 split is not recommended for the same reason our controllers shouldnt be run on max for long periods of time......the transfer case is just not designed to slip for that long and it overheats really badly....we had trouble at targa last year on the mount arrowsmith stage, 100klm in the wet with heaps of front torque it overheated.

no problem for 10 seconds down a drag strip though

as duncan said....it tends to pooh itself! it'll do 1/4 ok but unless you break traction all the way, you wont need that kind of split. I only bought the HKS stuff cos none of these bastards made any local ones at the time (refering to duncan and dirtgarage). Now its just wank factor!

off topic, but can you fit a cooler to it so it doesnt over heat??

hmm interesting....

they are definately not the controller we sell, at I guess I would think they are a direct copy of the Julian Edgar autospeed design.

But I note....

Their price doesn't include postage, instruction manual or connectors.

Control is via an analogue dial which we rejected early during development...they are too difficult to accurately change while driving...our up and down digital buttons and readout are more effective.

And of course without comparing them back to back I can't say whether it works as well, we have done a heap of work on calibration as well.

But I would guess it works on the same principle as ours, and would also make a big difference compared to standard

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
