Advice on 4WD on GTR

[Mick Trainer]

So is there any more news about ATESSA controllers? I want to know if driving it in 50/50 on a track day will kill my car.

I'm sure running it at that level wouldn't not do the cluches any good but it certainly would slow your times down considerably.

Thanks Mick.

So, can we conclude then that this little Gizmo (HKS Atessa controller) would not be great for track work as it would help to wear out components that otherwise would not be wearing down (as rapidly)?

And can we also say that it's useless then?! I mean, maybe if your car was a daily driver and it was raining hard you could switch to 50/50 4WD. Is that about the only use for this expensive little electronic device?

I wish I could find out more from people who have one fitted. I have tried to search for information on this for the past 30 minutes and only found some very vague comments.

People use it in japan so they can warm up there tyres before they hit the Quarter mile.

Yeah basically. It will wear componants out faster and on a track slow you down. With such power to the front wheels you will be getting plow understeer which massivlky slows you down.

The one I built does not bring the wheels in constantly but it makes the attessa bring the front wheel in earlier on exit to a corner.
