Drag / ETS controller for Stagea 260RS

[SMB315]

Hey guys I'm after a controller that will allow me to do a warm up burnout before trying to run a time in the 260RS. Anyone know where or selling any. Did a search and had no luck.

All you need for a burnout is a switch on the ATTESSA fuse. Turn it off an you will have 2wd. Stop moving and turn it back on (don't forget) and you have 4wd back.

You shouldn't use it for dynoing the car in 2wd but it would be sufficient for a burnout for a second or 3.  33/34 attessa systems will burn out clutch packs in 2wd if you leave it too long

something like this works if you want premade, but it is very expensive for a switch and a variable resistor

The eBay one doesn't let you do a burnout unless it's a 32gtr or gts4. Already spoke to the guy today

Atessa fuse trick only works on R32

For a Stagea you need to do this:

Locate the "air bleed" wire behind the drivers kick panel, it's a plug with a single wire either side (usually green socket, white plug).

 

In my S1 Stagea its a very small black plug taped to a loom with a single yellow wire with a green trace going to the plug and a single black wire going to the socket.

 

Disconnect it.

 

Start car. As key comes back to the ON position, within 10 seconds, depress brake pedal 5 times, 4WD light will start flashing to indicate you are in 2WD mode.

 

You need to do this every time you start the car.

 

To go back to 4WD mode, turn car off, reconnect plug and off you go.

 

And if you plan to do this a lot you can put a switch in somewhere.

That sound pretty good... will that damage anything or is it as if I removed the front driveshafts like when you go for a dyno run?

Its from the workshop manual. No it won't damage anything.

Finally got around to it, couldn't find the wire then one of the previous posts had the correct plugs for the 260rs.

Works great, the girl can slide pretty wild with 360+kwa. Now the switch install
