Hi guys,

If we remove the 4wd fuse (gtr34 v-spec) to measure the rwkw on a 4wd dyno, what will affect or damage to the drive line??

In normall driving condition (without torque split), is it true that the gtrs are running permanant on 25% front and 75% rear power??

Any explains would be appriciated, CHEERS !!!

COOL !! that's a costy way to test but !! hehe

Any way, while tuning my car on a 4wd dyno, the 4wd and a-lsd check light came on together but we didn't know how to fix it. So we decided to run on rwd mode. As I noticed, it ran like a 100% rwd (front wheels didn't move) and when we let go the accelerator, the front wheels started to catch up a bit. Now it smells like a clutch burn (in the transfer case possibly). I wasn't sure where the smell is from, because i dripped some oil while doing an oil change before the dyno day.

So, what do you reckon?? the smell is from the oil that I dripped or from a burned clutch?? it's been a week already but the smell is still there.

cheers!!

ya smokin ya clutch packs mate, and it will smell like a wood fire burning pretty much as i had a local workshop think they knew what they were doin and did exactly the same thing. smoke come billowing out the shifter hole into the car as a result of about a 5 sec run up on the dyno.

take the front drive shaft out that connects to the front diff and u will have no problem. its about a 5 min job and 4 bolts to remove is all it takes.

i smelt my clutch packs burning for about 500km after that as they must have got really cooked :dry:

if ya in perth i can recommend a shop to never ever let touch it :D

but hang on. The 4wd check light was on, that means the torque didn't split at all. Doesn't it mean that the car was performed on rwd only??? and we ran it on a 4wd dyno (not 2wd dyno) in the rwd mode(no torque split). This way , do we still have to remove the front drive shaft?? and it was strange that it ran like a 100% rwd car when we rev up...

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
