I know that the new shape's systems are quicker to react and smarter than D2, but in the D2 certainly you have to drive the ETC to get the most out of it, which means plenty of throttle and constant throttle, because as soon as back off occurs the system stops pulsing the brakes as aggressively. Im sure the new shapes' are not quite as touchy, but you cannot transfer drive through an open diff unless you have sufficient power to do so...Cheers

I might see if the BBS MSV2 has a page showing the states of the cross link valves... It would be interesting to know.

Cheers,

Yes agree but the TC didn't transfer drive when revs were up around 2700.

As I said before TC just did not seem to happen in any of the TR settings - I have been driving TC fitted cars for some time and know when all else fails - hit the go pedal. I was crossed up and TC did not really work in any of the TR settings and it did not matter whether in hi or lo range. I suspect DSC was cutting revs before TC engaged or indeed my particular car has an issue.
It is going in tomorrow for some recall work and to get the software updated so there maybe something there.

Later, when my 101 is back on the road we will get out and bog the RRS good and proper and see what the go is. I will report back then - really interested to see what impact DSC has on the systems.

The cross-link valve blocks are only activated when low-range is selected. Hence my comment. If you ramp the vehicle, you'll _definitely_ notice the difference between low and high range. See my post on the Coastal 4WD ramp competition a couple of years ago. (Sorry, search is too hard from my mobile).
