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!

  • 8 months later...

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

    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
