Nope, if you remove the fuse or fit a toggle switch your R32 GTR/GTS4 becomes 100% RWD. You also loose ABS while in 2WD mode.

Dirt Garage sell the switch option in the group buys section. I bought one and fitted it, easy and works great. To switch between Atessa and RWD the car just needs to be stationary.

actually you can switch to 2WD without disabling ABS. you just need to remove the 4WD fuse from the fuse box next to the battery. much better way to do it. but if you just want it to do a quick burnout before a drag etc then using the cabin 4wd/abs fuse is fine.

car does not need to be stationary to switch to RWD, but does need to be stationary to switch back to 4WD. you can actually go into RWD on the move without a switch. just switch the engine off as you are rolling, then start it up again before you come to a complete stop. you are now in RWD and can do your burnout or whatever then when you next come to a complete stop the car will go back into 4WD.

I've used that trick a few times in my gtr too. Whilst in gear and rolling flick the key off and on and it goes into rwd. Must confuse the computer or something. As soon as you become stationary it engauges 4wd again.

Ive also found that if your 4wd light won't go out you can flick the key whilst stationary and often it will engauge 4wd again.

when you start the car the ABS computer goes through a self check. as the car is rolling (the wheel speed sensors are moving) the ecu cannot satisfactorily complete the check so it disables 4WD and ABS.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
