Nothing a good clean wont fix? I think white is a great wheel colour.

With brake clearance, how does it all work? Is there that "letter.. eg "E"" that denotes a certain size disc+caliper will fit the rim?

i'm not 100%, i will also check up on this. Cheers deano, love your wheels btw ^^, posted a few q's on your thread. -
I am guessing +18 offset, these are the exact wheels ive been enquiring about.. can the owner confirm these are +18? Also, these arnt running any spacers are they? Also intersted in the tyres your running? Also wondering if anyone knows about these wheels and their brake clearances. I am going to fit these to my r32 GTR as well.. and one day plan to do a big brake upgrade. Just like you guys are talking about i guess.. Wondering if anyone knows how large one could go brake wise with these wheels? Oh, and these do look awesome. Tough looking ride man. Cheers for any info.

Hm my issue occurs at 100kph as well, not sure if mine "surges" .. the torque just goes foward after a certain amount of time. I will have to get this fixed asap and see if it solves my problem:D -

This is good news. BWRGTR.. did you have any problems with your AWD before the replacement? -

Roger that doo doo! Is it possible to repair the speedo without changing the cluster.. as i believe my car has genuine k's and would like to keep the "standard" ODO on there if possible. If it is something as simple as this to fix my problem that would be a massive relief! -

Well just as abit of of an update with my car, took it to a GTR doctor xD, got all the fluids in the car changed, $600+ of fluids! Both diffs, transfer case, gearbox, ATTESA actuator.. everything done except a coolant flush which is getting done next time i'm there. My mechanic belives that it is most likely a G sensor. However upon driving he believes that there is something abit wrong with the speedo.. When accelerating it stays on 0kph then quickly rises to say 40kph, the delay is minimal however he belives that this could also cause my issue. As the ATTESA takes inputs from the G sensors, speedo etc right? So if there is a delay, the ATTESSA might be tricked into believeing there is wheelspin. Any chance of this being the cause? I plan to get it looked at again in the near future! -
What about for normal driving, and occasional hillclimb's / mountain runs.. Do you guy's all overfill your cars with oil? I've always been under the impression that "Full" oil meant it should be o.k I want to avoid a rebuild as well.. but i am a sensible driver, and i dont thrash my car. Only rev it to like 5-6krpm up the mountain..

Those looks good!

Well i'm glad that it isnt wearing out the system. Cheers for clearing that one up for me doo doo. Yes i think i'll get my new mechanic to take a look.. hopefully we can find the problem! Cheers again for all the input, CeJay - i'll give that a go sometime for sure, cheers. -

Well i'm still learning but i am inclined to believe that this is NOT normal operation, as it will wear out the front driveline components as it's "slipping" 10% traction to the front.. and the noise that is associated with it doesn't sound healthy. I will obviously post up here when it work out what it is! -

doo doo i am currently in Wagga Wagga for work, and will be down here till christmas i'm afraid, but thanks a bunch for the offer. i found mechanic who is a GTR enthusaist and owns a killer r32 GTR, and i am taking up my issue's with him! Hopefully it won't be too tricky to work out what's wrong. Tyre's are all identical, and they are wearing evenly. Tyre pressure's.. not 100% sure, as we havnt checked them yet, will try that also. I'll have a good look over the car again this weekend and see if i can't get all the things you have suggested done. Thanks again for your inputs. Cheers! -

any type? or the Nissan specific fluid? -
Does anyone have a link for a difinitive guide for removal of HICAS? With pics and all? (I've done a search but yet to find one with pictures etc) How hard is it to perform? And what sort of setup is required? Tools etc? Does anyone know of any performance shops / GTR specialist who offer "HICAS removal" ? Cheers for any info!

Will do. What should i top it up with?? I read about using Castrol Transmax Z? Can this be mixed with whatever is already in there? I have no idea what fluid is currently in there. What would you suggest to top it up with? -
Did you end up finding out the problem mate? Sound's quite similar to my issue..

Thanks for the reply's. I havnt checked the attessa ecu yet, will do that though and post my findings here. SiR RB the fluid in the attessa bottle in the boot is below the "low" line, but only just (less then a cm below the line) How sensative is this level? There is pleanty of fluid in the bottle still.. could this be causing the problem? -
Hi all, i just purchased my first R32 GTR on the weekend and upon driving it home have discovered this interesting issue. I have searched already to try and find a problem the same as mine with no luck.. So i thought i'd create this thread and get all your opinions! The situation: AWD works correctly (as far as i can tell) when there is legitament slip. The AWD light comes on upon start up like normal, then dissapears and does not return. NO AWD LIGHT ON WHEN FAULT IS OCCURING. My HICAS light is on however the car has an aftermarket wheel and i believe this is unrelated to the AWD issue? I noticed the issue on the highway, at a constant speed with the motor under load (100kph / 110kph) everynow and again the AWD kicks in with the "torque gauge" registering a constant reading of 10, there is also a distinct noise associated with the AWD's operation (i believe this is due to a "slipping of the clutch / driveline to the front wheels") the problem however is that the AWD won't disengage automatically .. the throttle needs to be backed off for it to return to 100% RWD. This occured 10+ times over a 300km drive .. it seem's "bumps" caus this issue to occur more frequently. Has anyone encountered this sort of an issue before? or does anyone have any idea's? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Additional info: The car is quite standard, cat back exhaust, "chipped" ECU running 13.5PSI making 239RWKW's - was tuned at RACEPACE 6 months ago. R34 GTR injectors, front mount oil cooler / aircon condensor. Car also has standard wheels, with 225/50 all round, the diff is quite noisy also.. .. not sure if any of this info is handy but i thought id mention it just in case. Cheers for any advice, Willis.
