Safe to run R33 GT-R i rwd mode with ETS controller?

Is it safe to run the R33 GT-R in 100% rwd mode if you have an HKS electronic torque split controller?

We were thinking of doing som drifting with it, not just warming the tires at dragracing events.

Yep:cheers:

What about adjusting the controller whilst driving... no difference to the front wheels kicking in like normal factory mode?

Sorry Ben, I am not sure that I understand the question. The drivers adjust the torque split all the time while racing as track conditions change, the fuel load lightens, the tyres wear etc.

No it is not safe

I ran my R33 GTR with a HKS controler on a 2wd dyno

and at almost 7500 revs in 5th gear it went into 4wd all on its own.

it almost pulled the car out of the rollers then it snapped the chain in the transfer box.

Oh shoot, I wouldn't do it on the dyno:cheers:

That's the first chain I have ever heard of breaking, they are almost indestructable.

SydneyKid: You answered my question.

Keith: Ouch thats nasty! Is this a common problem with the HKS Controllers or a one off?
