Kansai Service Mystery Box

[JMW]

Ok, got this little box with my GTR. Not sure what the hell it actually does, but was told it makes the ATTESSA kick in quicker. The plugs do match up to those on the G sensor, have plugged it in but the AWD like came on so thought i'd better not chance driving it. There's no serial or part numbers on it anywhere, the only thing is 40B on the pcb inside.

i'd guess that it's a primitive torque split controller, but instead of it being adjustable it is just an on/off type setup. so it may allow you to toggle between just rwd or normal awd mode. or it may be that it goes from working normally to having the front drive engaged regardless of the g-sensor reading.

The car already has a HKS TSC, so im guessing you might be on the right track with over-riding the G sensor some how.

You ever heard of HKS Kansai Service?

HKS Kansai Service is a workshop in Japan as part of the HKS group.

Kansai is also a region in Japan's main island Honshū... Maybe is where HKS Kansai is based..?

It is most probably your TSC but a very old style one as new ones look totally different and with an extra function(s) as pictured below.

HKS Kansai Service Active ET-S Controller = Active Electronic Torque Split Controller.

Could be some type of TSC, but mine already has a HKS TSC and EDA. might have to borrow a mates 33 or 32 GTR and have a play

Ive got one of these in my gtr , though it dosent have a switch it has a button . what it does is turns the car from AWD to RWD without affecting the ABS like it would when you pull the fuse . I got told to press it while the cars off then switch the car on and the AWD lite should come on (like you said) thats how you now its RWD then turn the car off press the button again turn the car back on and there should be no AWD lite the car is no back to AWD . heres a pic of mine

Thanks yeah does look exactly like mine and after talking it over with a mate he said exactly the same. He also suggested it would be for a 32 GTR instead of a 33 (different G sensor?)

[nismo32gtr]

No worries, yea apparently the r33 and r34 gtr attessa systems are way more complicated than the r32 hence why the 32 is so easy to convert to RWD
