3000GT All wheel Steering - Keep it or delete it? 

Stumbled on this by accident, and love seeing the perspective of someone who has tracked the car frequently being the same as mine! It only took one time for it to jump in the middle of a corner as I fell below the MPH threshold, and I said "this HAS TO GO".

Well done! A breath of fresh air to not just have an opinion but some data and video to support. Discussing the pros and cons of each as well as having changed your position speaks volumes for your credibility.

Thanks for the first proper 3/S AWS or not review!

Great video Erron! Thanks for the review and especially sharing the data you collected and used as a comparison. Data never lies!

I would keep mine. But I bought My car brand new in 1992 when I was in 11th grade (yes I made every single car payment myself. My mom only co signed). So since mine is a one owner low mileage, numbers matching car that never spent a night outside a garage. Even tho I had my internal engine rebuilt by pampena Motorsports my vin number is still on the engine block. And my mods that bring me to 710AWHP are reversible I decided to keep my aws. But always remember people, you can reverse the car back to aws any time you want. Always keep your original parts.

Great info! I am thinking of building an autocross killer from a Steath/3kgt, and this is good info. I was already thinking of weight savings and predictability, plus maintenance, and for AX I'd want a faster steering box overall but the phase change depending on corner speed could be problematic, same phase on high speed slalom could mean hitting cone from the rear instead of rotating around the cone. Nice vid.

Nice review man! Good to see an actual data driven opinion piece on the aws system for track purposes!

For a race car definitely remove it! For a street car you should keep it. As you mentioned, lane changes on the freeway are lighting quick with the AWS.

I had one of these over 20 years ago, as a grey import, and liked the steering, didn't regret selling it, as too much to go wrong on it, and whoever had it in Japan had done a lot of custom work!

Great video!! Very informative

Good Video Erron. I've always preferred the more stable feeling of deleted AWS for higher speed corners. Found if I really needed more rotation or initial turn in, especially for a tight track or autoX. It was simpler to just throw a little bit of extra Toe Out in the rear temporarily.

Erron, have you looked at doing the Jay's racing active toe eliminator for the 1G DSM? It works on our rear subframes as well, and will help tighten the rear up a bit more than the standard AWS delete kit. Beyond that, have you ever given thought to welding in an electric power steering column out of a Saturn Vue or similar? This would allow you to retain power steering, but weld the factory steering quill up to get rid of the flex it has for the hydraulic power steering system and get rid of that vague feeling in the wheel around the more neutral positions. Effectively gives you a powered manual rack.

I plan to buy a GTO once they become legal to import (1999). Ima keep aws since its a pretty rare thing.

Very informative, the only thing I'm still left wondering at the end is did the delete affect your lap time?

Great video here! Do you have any experience with the sce torsen center diff? If so, can we get a review of it?

Great Info. What Track are you on in Video? My Son is all but finished his '98VR4' 10+ Yrs ! We live in South Jersey 20 miles from NJ Motorsports Park. Millville NJ.

What racing dash are you using?
