Attesa specs

[kg]

G'day peoples,

What is the go with Attesa traction control???

Can anyone out there give me specifics to do with angles, when traction transfers, how the computer dictates distribution, anything that is absolute fact.

Tanks heaps

There are a lot of sensor inputs that go into making the AWD work. There are speed sensors (hijacked from the ABS system), G-sensors, TPS and steering wheel position sensor.

The idea behind it is that the car for as long as possible acts as a RWD. This means that it has the characteristics of oversteer the same as a RWD. The designers didn't want the problem of understeer that constant AWD have (WRX, early EVO's etc...) The important thing to remember is that the front wheels kick in to assist the car and can share anywhere between 0% to 50% of the engine load.

1. Straight line. When the power is put down the front wheels will kick in to keep traction so you get the grip that a WRX has. The more you put your foot into it the more the fronts come in.

2. Cornering. This is a little tricky as it almost works in the operate way. The more lateral (side - cornering) force the car is under the less the front wheels will kick in as this would provoke understeer. Instead, it will wait until the rear end breaks loose then when you go to correct it, pull the front wheels into action so that now all wheels are working to push you in the direction you are steering. This can be disconcerting for many new GTR drivers expecting a typical WRX type AWD experience. This does allow you to still positively steer the car whithout loosing ground from the rear end slide. You keep your foot planted and just point the car where you want to go, letting the front wheel drive pull you out of the power slide. Not to say it is fool proof, you can still get bitten, but careful practice can be rewarding.

So to give you particulars on angles and so on is not possible as the whole system is adjustable depending on so many differing sensor inputs.

Another thing... What do you do when you only have some of your wheels on the ground and coming into a hair pin corner? No ABS, ATTESA system WTF

it is a problem

you are farked...same whether you have ABS or not, brakes don't work when the wheel is in the air

touch the brakes before the jump to keep the front wheels on the ground
