Subject: RE: What's a torque guage?
The torque gauge
probably only uses the input from the g-sensor.
Julian Edgar covered
most of his experiences with the R-32 (including crashing it just after
he bought it) in Zoom magazine, before he sold it to the publisers of Hot-4s.
Up until then it was an excellent publication!!

Re: What's a
torque guage?
Yeah that is
right.
Look at
the autospeed article by Julian Edgar.
www.autospeed.com.au
He made an amplifier to trick
the G-Force sensor in his R32-GTR.
He could adjust the 4wd from full 50-50 4wd for driving
in the wet to stock 100-0 2wd.
He was quite critical of the handling and traction of the
R32 in suburban driving.
The modification sounded like it made a great
difference.
Look
at the cool pics.
There has got to be some progressively locking diff-lock type
arrangement in the centre diff.
The torque guage probably uses the fluid pressure in the
locking solenoid to give you the reading
