Synchro Button

Hey guys just wondering what situations you would use the synchro button. Snow you would use in slippry conditions like alot of rain. Would it be bad using awd mode just normal driving.

just for snow or mud and maybe very heavy wet wether driving.......I do a bit a gravel driving every now and again and just leave it in normal mode and the car feels really well balanced.

I also found that if I used the sync mode at high speed in wet wether driving it got terminal understeer through the twisties.......bad enough to even scare me!

No need to leave it on for normal driving conditions the 4WD system in these cars works everything out for you.

if im doing some 'spirited' driving, I turn it on at lights in rain, just to try and cut as much wheel spin as possible,, once I hit 2nd it goes off as jetwreck said the AWD seems to work itself out and if on at speed you get freaky understeer.

but I have to dissagree with jetwreck on gravel, it does work well off if you drive sedate, but if its your local road or somthing I turn it on as you naturally drive a little quicker and where I drive the back has a habit of sliding out which gets a little hairy, so I have it on.

also snow driving=fun in these, gave it a go this season and will be going back next year in the stag,

Its just for take off really - (e.g. pulling a trailer out of a wet grassy car park) above a certain speed the atessa computer just does its normal thing anyway.

thanks guy for the information

I only ever use it when I get too much wheel spin before ATTESSA kicks in... EG, very low speed, muddy/wet/slippery uneven surfaces at low speed... Like my driveway.

Apart from that, I NEVER use it, and it is not designed to be used in any other way, it is an oh shit button, not a f/t AWD button for spirited driving runs- it turns off at speed anyway!

so what does the synchro and snow buttons do exactly? im going to the snow tomorrow. Should i use one or the other or not bother?

[Sunkist]

synchro sorts the attezza to have a full time 50/50 torque split. as our cars are RWD until G sensors kick in, or break traction

the snow function messes with your rev's and doesnt allow you to accelerate hard so you dont break traction on the snow!

[Sage222]

sounds like a winner!

[Sunkist]

definitely works.

snow mode limits boost in an M35 also, probably makes the throttle less resposive etc. ive never used it. ohh thats right i cant, i have an economy/low boost mode instead of snow mode thanks to nismo awesomeness lol

[Sunkist]

you and craig

>>

[zei20l]

indeed

except it probably wont work on craigs as he has an aftermarket boost controller. would be nice to know if it affects throttle. ill test that later tonight

[Sunkist]

lol no. im saying is you and craig lol

[zei20l]

im ignoring your jealousy lol

[Sunkist]

i wont be jelous soon

[zei20l]

why you got one coming over? or buy someone elses something else? lol

[Sunkist]

someone elses something else.

lol same thing pretty much man.

[zei20l]

nothing is the same thing unless it IS a nismo ecu lol

[Sunkist]

shuttup man, it doesnt havespeed cut, has a higher RPM limit

and doese something else cant remember, but those are the only two i really needed.
