Instruction Manual For Hks Torque Splitter (etc)

[GTR32]

Does anyone know where I might be able to find an English manual for the ETC? I've looked on HKS USA but no luck.

I'd be happy to pay someone to photocopy theirs if anyone is interested.

It's written in Jap so a bit hard to translate.

What info do you need to know as I used to have one in mine?

Hi Ken;

To answer your question; everything really. Connections woud be a great start, but anything else you could advise on would be a great help also and very welcome.

You wrote that you did have one. Could I ask please why you don't have it any more ie Were you unhappy with it or was it a matter of parting with the car?

Regards,

Mark

It went with the car.

Connections plug in between the ATTESSA computer under the rear parcel shelf ( on a 32GTR ) and the harness. The plugs are foolprooof and have male/female style connections which go into the computer and the car wiring harness.

The harness goes into the car up near the console ( or where ever you want the control box ) and the box plugs into it.

There will be a spare plug which is for the optional drag adapter.

That's it, once the car starts you can turn it to on and wind the knobs and watch the front torque gauge move.

Coarse setting steps it up in increments of about 10 on the gauge and the fine is in increments of 1 or 2 ( can't remember, it's been a while )

With it on the car is impossible to push by hand around a corner and the car will feel like it's " binding ". This is because the 4 wd is permanantly on.

The auto setting will disengage the torque controller below 15kmh and above that it will go to a preset level ( which I think is about 25 on the gauge ).

If you try to wind the coarse setting up too quickly , it may bring the 4 wd light on. I think this is because the pump is having a little hernia!

If it happens just turn the controller back down, switch the car off and retry again but slower.

I have a rough english translation of the book here somewhere but of the 3-4 pages , most is just the usual Jap warning stuff and the essential info is only minimal.

They are a good thing but be warned that prolonged constant use will wear the transfer case clutch packs out prematurely.

Hi Ken;

Thanks indeed for this. Did you find out about clutch pack wear from experience?

You wrote that 4wd is permanently 'on'. I thought that it worked by channelling more torque to the front, sooner. As opposed to having the 4wd permanently activated?

does 0-100 simply allow rear wheel burnouts?

[gtrken]

HKS ones don't have 0-100, there is always some drive to the front when it's on.
