Skylines Australian a drag strip scenario, 15" rims , high wall micky tompson slicks on rear. smaller walll profile on 15' rims also with MT on front.

Bieng that it is a straight run and hope fully with slicks on back that there should not be too much wheel spin at the front , what could be the outcome .Will it hurt any thing?

For i see that the attessa should not activate if the back is not spinning, particularly down the majority the strip , but rather a tweak in gear changes?

You thoughts and experience please. dry.gif

to try and answer your question. if the rear wheels are not spinning why bother drag racing a 4WD car? you may as well just disconnect ATTESA or run your engine in a GTST, or a Torana.

The Attessa will activate. You might notice that under brisk accelleration the torque gauge will climb a bit without any wheel spin under normal circumstances. If you have a bucket load of power then it's going to be very hard to stop the rears spinning on a big launch. I believe that a torque split controller is going to be worth a look to get more from the front early and the abillity to put some heat in the rear tyres before you stage, unless you want to plumb in a switch to turn the attessa off for that.

With slicks on you are going to load up the driveline, basically traction comes at a cost, wheelspin softens the blow so to speak but does slow you down. The shock is higher the more power you have and the more traction you get off the line.

Have you had much to do with the drag strip with the car in it's old setup? With a large horspower upgrade I can imagine the learning curve will be big at any rate.

hope that helps

ATTESSA sends power to the front before wheel spin occurs. It's a pro-active setup rather than re-active. It's going to be sending power to the fronts for sure under the kind of acceleration you'll be experiencing at the drag strip.

Ok,

lets assume we get wheel spin and the fronts grab and all is norm.

What about the different profile tyres back and rear?

What will be the adverse effect on the drive train?

Satiracally-- i do not think that there will be any.

Who begs to differ?

Thank you , sensible approach and answer.

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
