33gtr 2wd Mode, 4wd Launch

hi ive got a 33gtr and i want 2 do some quarter mile runs but i wana warm up my rear tyres ive seen other 33's at the drags warmin the rears and then launching with all fours, just wondering how 2 do that as its not as simple as a 32

Pulling the ATTESSA fuse trick is fatal in 33's, whatever you do don't do it. the 33gtrs you've seen most likely run an E-TS (electronic torque split) controller (HKS Kansai $650ish, Ruzic Engineering $470, GRID, FIELD etc.). I wouldn't recommend linelockers as it would put a stress on the ATTESSA system when it tries to put the power to the front with the rears spinning.

Unless you are running drag-specific tyres, "warming up" the tyres is simply showing off. Absolutely no benefit whatsoever. IMHO.

Doing a burnout/skid when drag racing is about 2 things. Warming the tires, and CLEANING the tires so you don't leave junk down the straight.

thanks, so if i get a torque split controller and divert as much power to the rears as possible i shld b ok? i am running drag radials as well which require some cooking to perform well

In one word no, even though you can split to more of the torque to the rear wheels, it doesn't make it rear wheel drive. It's a good way to destroy your transfer case doing this! This has been covered before for people wanting to run their 33 GTRs on a 2WD dyno. The torque split controllers do exactly that, control your torque split to the front wheels, not turn it completely off. The 33 attesa system is completely different to the 32 one. What you might have seen is one with a modified transfer case that they manually using a hydraulic pump ie apply pressure to the case ie no pressure 2 wheel drive, pump the pressure up and you have 4 wheel drive. The only way you can truly get it into rear wheel drive only without modifying anything is to pull the front drive shaft out.

Unless you are going to use drag radials or slicks then I wouldn't bother

thanks 4 that i will invest in a torque controller just 4 altering my driving style but no rear wheel action 4 me on the strip thanks for all ur imput, it was very helpful

according to the service manual you can select 2wd mode by disconnecting the connector to the lower right of the das with the ignition on...then depressing the brake pedal....x amount of times within 10 seconds...then 4wd light flashes a few times to confirm....I will try to find the factory process if anyone is interested..
