Any one have the same problem..?? Can't seem to get the power down... in dry conditions, i get rear wheel spin in 1st and 2nd.... in slight damp/slippery conditions, it can go up to as far as 4th gear...... By this time, I usually back off.......
Tyres stil have lots of thread.
This is with the DCCD set at green.
Would like to know I'm not the only one...!!!!

On the green empty square setting the diff is fully open, so if the rear wheels spin then the front will get none of the torque. The rear diff is limited slip so it will have to light up both rears, but this can happen.

In dry conditions, this is an okay setting to use, but in wet / low traction conditions you probably want to wind on a bit of centre diff lock to ensure some power is always fed to the front wheels. This should help control the wheelspin a bit.

Do not go to the extreme end of the dial (orange end!) though as this will fully lock the diff and cause all sorts of problems. This is only really useful for getting started (for example) bogged down on a muddy field or sheet ice. Of course on the sheet ice you can get started but you won't be able to stop

I have the same problem with my Type R, just can't seem to get grip. When I set the DCCD forward I just get loads of understear, wind it back then the car just gets tail happy again.

I Don't ever have the DCCD on the extreme end, did once, when we got snowed.
Usually have the DCCD set half way up the orange when it starts feeling slippy, but still do get wheel spin. Not that I don't enjoy it......
