Hey guys/girls.

Finally got to test drive my R32 GTR the other day and noticed the Torque readings from the ATTESA a bit different from what I remember them to be from other GTR's I have driven.

The car is fairly stock and according to the gauge (if it is correct), it's running 6psi of boost.

So the torque gauge goes from 0-10-50kg?

Going flat stick on a straight road, the needle barely moves off 0kg.

Giving it some into a corner and I think I barely managed 10kg.

I launched the car @ 4,500rpm slipping the clutch out quickly. Broke traction for a brief moment then when it hooked up, the car bogged down.

Silly me, I was all exicted and forgot to keep my eye on the torque gauge. But does this sound normal?

Breaking Traction? With such little power?

The other GTR's I drove many years ago would give a reading on the torque gauge from just accelerating hard on a straight. Granted they all had a bit more power (190-220KW @ all 4).

And you could really feel the front tyres grab hold of the road.

Mine feels really strange.

I'm hoping it's lack of power + really bad tyres?

So could anyone give me some typical readings in typical situations?

Thank you.

hey mate i got a 93 R32 GTS4 which has the attesa likes urs..maybe urs is a bit better coz urs is a gtr but i know when im boostin it in a straight line the guage does go up a bit. and when i launch it like u say, slippin the clutch a lil bit i dnt know if i ge loss of traction but off i go lol all i got is 3" catback exhasut, fmic and pod

hope this helps buddy

My GT-R will only go a tiny bit past the 10kg-m and thats giving it to it on a wet road up a hill. This could depend on tyres. Bosst is a little low, mine used to run approx 10psi, and its only got a cat back exhaust. If you want a good check that everything in the traction department is 'hooking up ok', find an empty flat road somewhere, dial up 6 grand and hold it steady at 6 grand, then drop the clutch. You should only get a tiny amount of wheelspin if any. This is what I was doing at a drag day and it was launching really really well.
