Hello. I am interested if anyone here changed the AWD model to mechanical launch? I know many drag GTRs just put the 20Bars of pressure into the transfer on the launch to make it 50-50 split and then release pressure during the run to 0 bar to make it 0-100. Do you know any device that will do this? Not controlled the factory pump which is unacurate and not reliable, but the completter replacement of stock parts to mechanical pump that makes pressure off the line and then releases it. I know many people on drag skylines made a kind of handbrake that pumps the pressure there before the launch and then release it with launch controll solenoid. do you know exactly how to do this?

Hydralic handbrake and a ball valve/solinoid valve and a pressure guage. Apply pressure to the clutch actuator to the desired pressure, lock the pressure with the valve, launch, 2nd gear- open the valve, drive over the finish line.

Very very simple.

seen a very similar thing on Ebay for a shiteload less than that lol

A lot of the torque controllers on ebay will not do what he wants...especially the only one I found when searching on ebay :banana:

there was also a guy on the forums whose name escapes me who makes these kind of torque split controllers, though it appears he wants something to replace the OEM pump as well?

Is it the Ruzic Engineering one that you are talking about?

just to clarify, the only controller that is any use for drag is the HKS Kansai one linked aboe, and they are very hard to find.

Every other attessa controller from the ebay one ($15 of parts for $250) up to mountainrunner's excellent ones use the same basic technique of bending the standard signals. The standard system already puts as much torque as it can to the front in a straight line so these controllers cannot increase front torque for drag use. They are absolutely excellent for track use though....

Agreed, the only difference is mountainrunner / ruzic engineering one is sooo much smarter than the ebay version. Either way, it was not designed for a drag situation.

The Grid-TS Dancer will do a constant split

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
