U13 Bluebird Turbo Attessa

[Guest Miguel]

I know, I know, this isn't a Skyline, but then this isn't a Skylines Forum is it?

Anyone had any experience with these cars? Good, bad....anything other than telling me they are ugly or not a Skyline

[Sinista32]

I like em

haven't had any experience with the Attessa system on them

It's a pain in the ass to change the clutch in one. The attesa is front wheel drive biased, with a viscous coupling to the rear drive. They are a nice quiet smooth car.

[Dale FZ1]

think of it as rear-wheel assist rather than all wheel drive. Not dissimilar to X trail type characteristics.

Fundamentally not a bad thing, but not really a performance car and pretty thin on the ground.

Nearly bought one 19 years ago, predominantly automatic trans was all that was available. The auto was actually a reasonably good match to the vehicle though.

If awd performance sedan is what you want, look at Evo. They come packed with the right fruit, and people have been playing with them for years. Not much that hasn't been done before.

Pretty sure the guest from 2002 isn't going to view this thread.

Question: Is the Bluebird ATTESA the same/similar to the Pulsar GTi-R one?

[GTSBoy]

Same mech layout. Could be different level of smarts.

I'm fairly certain GTIR manual gearbox bolts on to engine and drive train. Just the rest of the usual auto-to-manual stuff to worry about.

Solid engines, decent car for the money. Lots of people out effort into them and can't sell them for anything so a few bargains out there.
