Group Buy HPA Competition Haldex Controller

[tigger73]

How many do we need Damien in order for the Group Buy to go through? I am still tentative for the moment.

We need 10 orders to guarantee pricing.

I'm realistic with "expressions of interest". I know this is an expensive time of year for a lot of people and realise that not everyone that has expressed an interest will necessarily be in a position to purchase a unit in January.

If there's enough interest though we may be able to keep the offer open for long enough to get the numbers.

Also if you know any non-forum guys that would be interested please put them in touch as if that gets the required numbers it will benefit everyone.

Is this unit compatible with the R36?

Yes there are units available for R36, however these are not the HPA "Competition" units, but Gen 4 switchable Eco/Std/Race Haldex Controllers.

These Gen 4 Haldex controllers can also be purchased without a switch and will default to "Race" setting only. Race setting gives more rear bias and eliminates the understeering you nermally get with FWD cars.

The things you'll miss are the engagement of the rear clutches under braking and the ability to do left foot braking which is only available for the Golf R in the "Competition" Controller. These features are more of an advantage on the track and probably not something you'd miss while driving on the road.

OK. List updated and I've also included the group buy pricing for the Gen 2 and Gen 4 Haldex Controllers with switchable Eco/Std/Race functions.

Yes when running the controller in "Race" mode, this will transfer more power/torque through the rear wheels and changes the understeering FWD characteristics of the stock car completely. It is designed/manufactured by the same company that manufactures the standard Haldex units so will not interfere with the cars safety features ABS/ESC/etc.

If you want the switchable version, I would either puchase the cable version or remote. I don't think it's worth trying to make your own cable as you would have to find the correct plug connectors (which wouldn't be cheap) and for the extra $100 I actually don't think it's worth the stuffing around.

Here's the cable version:




And the remote version:




A few peple have installed the cable switch and instead of running the cable all the way through the cabin just leave it coiled up in the boot.

Final call for numbers. Anyone looking to jump on this group buy please either reply to this thread or PM me and I'll include you in the list.

I'm looking to get approximate numbers in the next couple of days and as long as we have sufficient numbers HPA will put up a special "Group Buy" web page for payments.

Only those people that register will be given the payment link. Payment for the Haldex Controllers will be via PayPal and made direct to HPA Motorsport.

Keen, just not in January. If you can drag it out for a bit I am in. If not I will have to wait for next round.

I'll put you down for one and see how long we can keep the pricing/weblinks up.

Group buy is about to get going.

To speed things up if you can check the version of coupling for your Haldex controller:




That way it will ensure that you order/get sent the correct part.
