Controlling Skyline V Spec active rear differentials?
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2009 7:34 amNot sure where top place this post, so please feel free to move it!
I am as much, or more, interested in chassis technology as engine technology, and I have often wondered what would be required to give meaningful aftermarket ecu control to an active rear diff in a 2 wheel drive car used on circuits? I have a 2 WD Skyline that I want to add an Skyline R34 V spec active diff to. Has anyone any links or info as to practical control of such a thing? Would an M800 run it, or would I be looking at something totally different? Initially I would like to know how the Nissan ecu controls it, I know the 4WD cars have a 3 axis G sensor and steering angle input sensor, plus some brake input. Looking to reduce tight corner, off power understeer whilst retaining good corner exit traction and straight line traction. Thanks.
