NORMAL DRIVING MODE - RWD

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL • The Front Differential is an

open differential. • Open Differential transfers

torque to the wheel which has least resistance

REAR DIFFERENTIAL

• The Rear Differential is a limited slip differential.

• Unlike open differential, it transfers torque to the wheel which has more traction

ATTESA E-TS Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All-terrain with Electronic Torque Split

• GT-R ATTESA E-TS uses two almost parallel driveshafts, with a second driveshaft running slightly to the right of the main driveshaft and engine sending power exclusively to the front wheels through an open differential.

• The main driveshaft, goes from the engine to the rear-based gearbox, from where it sends power through a limited slip differential to the rear wheels, therefore varying the left/right torque split at the rear axle.

• Integrated into the double-clutch gearbox there's a transfer case in which, instead of a center differential lies a center wet multi-plate clutch system.

1. Drive Torque

2. First Gear Engaged

3. Second Gear Engaged

GR6 TRANSMISSION - WORKING 1. A dual-clutch automated manual transmission has two

wet computer-controlled clutches (wet clutch means the friction plates are immersed in transmission fluid).

2. One clutch controls odd gears (1,3,5); the other clutch controls even gears (2,4,6).

3. When the car starts in the first gear, the second gear is already pre-shifted and as soon as the car reaches the speed suitable for the second gear, the odd-gear clutch disengages the first gear and almost simultaneously the even-gear clutch engages the second gear.

4. Similarly, with the next 2-3 gear shift and so on.

5. All this is done to minimize time and torque loss between gear shifting.

TRANSFER CASE

In figure: Borg Warner Torque on Demand Transfer Case Instead of a central differential lies a wet multi-plate clutch system.

• TOD control unit automatically tailors torque distribution to road, offering full time four wheel drive. TOD distributes electronically-controlled power into front and rear wheels whose ratio change from 0:100 to 50:50 complying with wheel speed differences.

4H MODE 4H is the normal operating mode when drive of which gear ratio is 1:1

4L MODE 4L mode distributes power to front and rear wheels 50 : 50 of which gear ratio is 2.48:1.

SUSPENSION LAYOUT

BILSTEIN B4 DAMPTRONIC SUSPENSION SYSTEM • Sensors detect acceleration and braking, lane changes and

road surface conditions and adjust the shock absorbers accordingly in mere milliseconds.

In figure: Bilstein B4 Damptronic Suspension System Active Suspension System to provide better road contact at higher acceleration as well for comfortable ride during touring

REAR SUSPENSION – MULTI LINK SUSPENSION

• A Multi-link suspension is a type of vehicle suspension design which uses three or more lateral arms and one or more longitudinal arms.

• In order to simplify understanding, it is usual to

consider the function of the arms in each of three orthogonal planes.

Advantages • It is possible to alter one

parameter in the suspension at a time, without affecting anything else.

• This is in direct contrast to the

double wishbone suspension, where moving a hard point will affect two or more parameters

Disadvantages • Multi – link suspension is

costly and complex. • Suspension tuning requires 3D

FRONT SUSPENSION – DOUBLE WISHBONE TYPE

• Each wishbone, which has two mounting positions to the frame and one at the wheel, bears a shock absorber and a coil spring to absorb vibrations.

• Double-wishbone suspensions allow for more control over the camber angle of the wheel, which describes the degree to which the wheels tilt in and out.

• They also help minimize roll or sway and provide for a more consistent steering feel.

• Allows the spindles to travel vertically up and down. When they do this, they also have a slight side-to-side motion caused by the arc that the wishbones describe around their pivot points. This side-to-side motion is known as scrub.

SEATING • The 2015 Nissan GT-R seats four and comes

standard with eight way power adjustable passenger seat and heated front seats.

• The front seats offer a high seating position,

excellent long distance comfort and are easier to get into and get out of than in most competing sports cars.

• The cabin is small but the adjustable front seat

and steering wheel makes it comfortable for tall occupants.

• The rear seats cannot give a comfortable ride to

the occupants as it is cramped.

• The space available for cargo is 8.8 cubic feet

• The Nissan GT-R uses premium front midship configuration for positioning the engine inside the vehicle. • The term midship means that the engine’s centre of mass is displaced from the front axle centre line into the cabin. • This reduces the sprung mass on the front suspension as well as offers better load distribution
