Hi guys, I came across this add on ebay for a torque controller. I emailed the seller and asked if it would work on a stagea. He seemed to think it should and offered a refund if it did not work.Thought I would throw it to the group as $$ is a bit tight for me at present, perhaps another stagea owner may like to try it.I am sure I, and most other stagea owners will want one if it is a goer!

cheers.

Scott.

ive got one in my 32gtr. got it like last week can say its excellent. you can really feel the difference using the torqe split function.. however u can switch from 4wd to 2wd while the car is on at a stop, but not the other way around for some reason..

but then again the 2wd switch only for 32 gtr so that should be cool for you guys!

G'day, My name is Justin and I am the seller of the units on eBay. What you are finding regarding the 2WD/4WD switch is normal operation for any ATTESA interceptor such as this. The latest version of instructions that come with the unit indicate that the switch position should be changed when the ignition is off for this reason (but yes you can switch to 2WD while moving).

Incidently, it has been mentioned(falsely) on this forum that the unit I sell is directly based on the Autospeed article. This is totally untrue as the unit on Autospeed is a terrible design and does not work properly. The unit I sell is professionally designed and manufactured. Of all the units sold everyone has been very happy with the unit and I have received only great feedback and testimonials.

Any questions are welcomed at [email protected]

i was on the understanding that you couldnt run the stagea in rwd only as would burn out front clutches or something like that

As it states in the eBay text the 2WD/4WD switch should only be used on R32 GTR's. This is because later ones leave some preload on the clutch packs that can burn them out if run in 2WD. It is not being sold on eBay as suitable for Stageas at the moment. The main functionality of the unit I sell is as a Torque Split Controller and this works well on all models of GTR and I expect Stagea's as well. The question posed to me through eBay was "would this unit work on a Stagea?". My answer was that as it has a similar 4WD system to the GTR I am pretty sure that it would work well but you would have to do further research yourself to confirm that both systems are similar. Of course the 2WD/4WD switch should not be used for the reasons above.

So the offer goes out to other Stagea owners also. I am happy to sell to a Stagea owner with the guarantee that if it does not work as described in the eBay advert I will happily refund the purchase price. I am 99% sure that it will be fine though.

To run your vehicle in 2WD mode, the transfer case will have to be bled and ATTESSA system disconnected electronically. For the R32 GTR, all we need to do is to remove the fuse, which electonically disables the system. Thus to be able to switch between 4WD and 2WD in your Stagea, we will need to modifiy your car by removing the line pressure valve in the 4WD system. The downside of this will be that the ATTESSA system will not react as fast as it should do, due to not having a constant line pressure going to the transfer case, and will react like the slower R32 GTR ATTESSA system.

    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
