ATTESA system...

Ferni: I spoke to Ben at Racepace this afternoon and he certainly sounds like he knows his stuff.

He does modified and rebuilt transfer cases for approx $1200 using the 10 clutch packs and said they are excellent for circuit work.

I'll be sending my spare one down to him

Yeah Ben knows my car, he's the one who set it up He's the one to go to for your GTR needs

When you are talking about an ATTESA controller, is this the same as a torque split controller?

Same

When on the race track, what exacly do you use it for (i think i know what it does - just adjusts/bias's if it should put power to the front wheels more or less?) Do you play with it on warm up laps, get it set to how you like for that day/conditions of track? or do you play with it constently during the race, or is it just set to 1 setting and thats it?

It's sorta like adj stabiliser bars, you can dial out power oversteer by adding more front bias. Or for understeer, vice versa. Different circuits have different settings as do different conditions, wet, dry, slippery, hot, cold etc. Or races are not long enough (20 minutes) for fuel load to get too exciting. :wassup:

I only use 3 settings out of the seven that the controller has, I never use the bottom 2 (rear bias) or the top 2 (front bias). We used to have a controller that had 2 circuits, one for the amount of bias and the other for rate of change. By the time I add in stabiliser bar adj, spring rate changes and adj shocks, my head aches thinking about what to change. :confused: So I keep it simple, the "real" driver uses more.

Hope that helps some more
