Thats cool Gareth, i see your point...

But if people have tested it (more than once), shown there to be less than 10rwkw in it which is far from something to get excited about

That how does that come about? How does that get explained?

Some cs student you don't know what your talking about do you. Whats that. No No you don't. I don't get how some of you don't get it. How can a transfer case tranfer more than 50% of the torque to the front wheels when it is the same final drive ratio as the rear and the rear drive line is fixed to the engine when in gear. It can't. Never will.

I never said it was transferring more than 50%.

I meant more as in it will transfer more power to the front wheels than a standard transfer case would at a given amount of slip, ie. if it was trying to transfer X amount of power a modified transfer case would give it a little more.

EDIT: so it would reach the so called "50%" if that is the case, a little faster than a non-modified transfer case due to the change is clutch plates.

Furthermore, since your referring to the torque split gauge as a percentage you clearly don't know what your talking about there, it's not a percentage.

Your point about the clutch plates compressing is noted, as as most of your points, but you don't need to come across so arrogant in your posts.

EDIT: On second thought, I haven't slept for a few days so maybe I'm the one mis-interpreting, I guess I'll find out from your next post.

Your "locked" made me think of how a 2-way diff locks at a certain amount of torque going through it, I now understand what you are referring to as "locked" makes sense now, simply a mis-interpretation there.

To prevent confusion please make it clear which Gareth your referring to, I can see your referring to Rowdy32 in that post (I think) :P

Exactly right with the transfer case workings.

I wasn't talking about the torque gauge on the dash as it is only what the computer thinks it is transfering to the front by the amount of pressure it is putting on the clutch. If the transfer case is rooted the gauge displays what it thinks its doing but in reality little drive is going to the wheels. On a 4wd dyno screen there is a display that shows the amount of torque going to the front and rear rollers. Thats what I'm talking about. One of the ways of telling if your case is rooted. The gauge in the dash is really only good for wank value and I don't think I have ever even looked at it whilest driving. You can normal tell if its locking up by how the car handles also.

Ah, interesting, I just had to replace my transfer case as it had some issues (badly slipping and the shaft (?) inside it was making a grinding sound), a 4WD dyno would be an interesting way of confirming the second-hand one I got doesn't have issues...

Thanks for the info.

There is a turbo in the Garrett range between the -5 (GT2860R 62 Trim) and the -10 (GT2871R 52 Trim), that being the GT2871R 48 Trim. Garrett has rated it to 400HP (they rate the -10 to 460HP), i was wondering if anyone has ran one of these on a GTR as i can imagine they would be a lot more responsive than the -10 and would yield a lot more power that the -5. To run on of these though you would have to get Garrett to modify a -5 compressor housing to fit if you want to retain the factory piping but they would be will to do it and I wouldn't imaging it would cost much.

GT2871R 52T-10 460hp each

I'm looking at building a RB26/30DETT at some stage in the not too distant future and i and seriously looking at running these on that as i imagine that the response of the 48Trim's on a 3 litre would be similar to that of a set of -5 on a 2.6 litre.

so are the -9's the middle man between the -7's to -5's?

i have 280rwkw @15psi with r34 turbos, cams big porting forged engine ect (stock afm's are holding me back)

im still trying to decide if i want to go up to the -5's the -7's dont seem worth it over what i already have but if the -9's make a bit more then the -7's with similar response...

i dunno haha

    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
    • What basics? With these OBD1 ECUs it's not like the ECU will give you any real clues, it's not really doing any sanity checking of sensors/sensor data. My experience is actually a lot of sensors tend to be the source of the issue first and foremost, and checking everything gives you a direction to investigate. MAF/O2/STFT/LTFT should all kind of make sense. You can try little tricks of the trade like tapping the MAFs to see if it triggers a stumble, things like that. But once you've done a compression test knowing whether you have an air leak or fuel delivery problem is kind of hard to narrow down without sensor data. And you don't really know if all your sensors are making sense unless you can interrogate the ECU directly about what it's seeing for sensor data.
    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
