G'day all, I have been playing with my R32 GTR for a little over 12 months now, and am still relatively confused as to how the 4WD system works in the car. I have been competing in a wet skidpan motorkhana championship throughout the year, and during those events have been confused by how the system reacts versus how it is supposed to react. It's simply a very wet skidpan scenario, lots of revs, lots of handbrake and clutch work. I have noticed though that if I throw the car around a cone in a 180 degree turn, when I step off the clutch the rear wheels hook up quite strongly and no power at all goes to the fronts. The car sort of hovers with the rear wheels screaming for probably a second to a second and a half, and then the fronts kick in, and I launch off across the concrete towards the next cone. In a drift situation where I am feeding the power on, and sliding sideways around the obstacles, mostly the fronts engage and I get a nice smooth all-wheel drift. Sometimes though, the fronts will only kick in mid corner, or will cut-out mid corner. I don't get a warning light, or any error codes throughout the competition, and all the fluids / reservoirs seem good. If I grab the handbrake too quickly before the clutch is all the way in, I get a 4WD warning light on the dash, so I know that at least the light is working. Is there any hard and fast rule or information about how the system should be working in those circumstances? I get a lot of people coming up to me and asking if I have disabled the system, or if I have a controller and have put most of the power to the rears. Granted, none of the people who ask me own Skylines, or know much about them, so they could just be assuming it's meant to be constant all wheel drive? On a dry road, the system works great and I've never noticed it cutting in and out during normal or even "spirited" driving on dry surface. Anyone got any similar experiences? Or can at least fill me in if this is how it should be working, or if it sounds like there's an issue? Cheers. Cliffs Under load on wet skid pan during Motorkhana competition, front wheels engage randomly, and disengage randomly, causing me to spin out which makes me sad. Help.

Hey Guys, So I've searched the forums for similar issues and haven't been able to find much information. I'm currently trying to fit a set of 18x11 +20 Concave Concepts to my Gts-t and have purchased and installed a set of Front Upper Camber Arms to try and pull them in a little as they poke on my Gts-t guards quite a bit as pictured. Although since doing so have run into a few problems. 1. After adjusting the camber it looks as though the wheel sits further back inside the arch towards the back of the car and is now rubbing quite heavily against the guard/sideskirt mount when turning. (I'm thinking caster arms will fix this as I assume the caster is all out of whack) 2. After adjusting the camber the inside of the wheel looks like its sitting over the coilover (above the lock collar for the base and below the lock collar for the spring) and over hard bumps the coilover compresses and hits against the inside of the rim. 3. At full lock, or close to, the inside of the rim rubs up against the upper wishbone and makes a horrid grinding noise (I have since notched out the wishbone but apparently not enough because it still does it) I tried fitting a set of 7mm slip on spacers to fix the issue but they pull the wheels out a little too far and create all kinda of rubbing issues on the guards. Has anybody had any similar issues, or have any constructive suggestions/can help at all? Thanks.
