Ferni: I spoke to Ben at Racepace this afternoon and he certainly sounds like he knows his stuff.

He does modified and rebuilt transfer cases for approx $1200 using the 10 clutch packs and said they are excellent for circuit work.

I'll be sending my spare one down to him :(

When you are talking about an ATTESA controller, is this the same as a torque split controller?

Same

When on the race track, what exacly do you use it for (i think i know what it does - just adjusts/bias's if it should put power to the front wheels more or less?) Do you play with it on warm up laps, get it set to how you like for that day/conditions of track? or do you play with it constently during the race, or is it just set to 1 setting and thats it?

It's sorta like adj stabiliser bars, you can dial out power oversteer by adding more front bias. Or for understeer, vice versa. Different circuits have different settings as do different conditions, wet, dry, slippery, hot, cold etc. Or races are not long enough (20 minutes) for fuel load to get too exciting. :wassup:

I only use 3 settings out of the seven that the controller has, I never use the bottom 2 (rear bias) or the top 2 (front bias). We used to have a controller that had 2 circuits, one for the amount of bias and the other for rate of change. By the time I add in stabiliser bar adj, spring rate changes and adj shocks, my head aches thinking about what to change. :confused: So I keep it simple, the "real" driver uses more.

Hope that helps some more :(

    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments   
    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......  
    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
