its not a constant all wheel drive on the R33 GTS4, correct me if im wrong tho im sure ive read it only kicks in once the front wheels start to loose traction then it distributes the weight around.

so it shouldn't be constant??

why do you want to stop power going to the front? burnouts before a drag race? drifting?

using an attessa conroler and running the car in 100% rear drive can damage the clutch packs if used for long periods, or under heavy load

there are plenty of topics on this, do a search to find out more.

have a read of this, its about stageas but its essentially the same attessa system as in your GTS4, lots of good info from guys who have actually messed around with the system

I have one,

the 33 GTS4's always have a constant 5%ish worth of power going to the front, then if the sensors note that there is wheel spin or the g forces are extreme, ie going around a corner real quick. it will send the appropriate amount of power to the front to regain traction.

the torque controllers dont stop the power to the front (unless its a 32 with the fuse system) all you can do is choose to have it at 0 = 5% front or 1-10 or whatever it is = 50/50% thats all...

that being said, they are VERY handy in the wet when you have some power in the wheels and need to control it.

All the controller does is tricks the attesa system that the car is slipping and how high u turn the dial is how much the controller bullsh*ts you are loosing traction.

The steering wheel goes tight when u turn it up and with some good rubber on the wheels you really notice a good difference.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
