Hey guys just wondering what situations you would use the synchro button. Snow you would use in slippry conditions like alot of rain. Would it be bad using awd mode just normal driving.

just for snow or mud and maybe very heavy wet wether driving.......I do a bit a gravel driving every now and again and just leave it in normal mode and the car feels really well balanced.

I also found that if I used the sync mode at high speed in wet wether driving it got terminal understeer through the twisties.......bad enough to even scare me!

No need to leave it on for normal driving conditions the 4WD system in these cars works everything out for you.

if im doing some 'spirited' driving, I turn it on at lights in rain, just to try and cut as much wheel spin as possible,, once I hit 2nd it goes off as jetwreck said the AWD seems to work itself out and if on at speed you get freaky understeer.

but I have to dissagree with jetwreck on gravel, it does work well off if you drive sedate, but if its your local road or somthing I turn it on as you naturally drive a little quicker and where I drive the back has a habit of sliding out which gets a little hairy, so I have it on.

also snow driving=fun in these, gave it a go this season and will be going back next year in the stag,

I only ever use it when I get too much wheel spin before ATTESSA kicks in... EG, very low speed, muddy/wet/slippery uneven surfaces at low speed... Like my driveway.

Apart from that, I NEVER use it, and it is not designed to be used in any other way, it is an oh shit button, not a f/t AWD button for spirited driving runs- it turns off at speed anyway!

synchro sorts the attezza to have a full time 50/50 torque split. as our cars are RWD until G sensors kick in, or break traction

the snow function messes with your rev's and doesnt allow you to accelerate hard so you dont break traction on the snow!

snow mode limits boost in an M35 also, probably makes the throttle less resposive etc. ive never used it. ohh thats right i cant, i have an economy/low boost mode instead of snow mode thanks to nismo awesomeness lol

    • full send the cnut, do this   fark the wrapping and/or stick on siet.
    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.
