See that search thingy in the top right-hand corner, next time try that first.

The 4wd system is the same type as r33/r34 gtr, meaning the only way to safely go into rwd is to remove the front driveshaft..........

How many times must this be disscussed, can people not find the search?

Hi i have a 1999 RS4 turbo 4 wheel drive and was wondering if anyone knew if by putting a switch in to the 4 wheel drive fuse and taking it from 4 to rear wheel drive CAN IT HAVE ANY DETREMENTAL EFFECTS ON THE CAR . COULD IT HARM THE CENTRE DIFF ?

Yes it can be harmful. Basically, the Stagea version of ATESSA is similar to the R33 and R34 Skylines and GT-Rs, so there isn't just a fuse you can pull, like in the R32 version.

There has already been plenty written about this, here's one pointer in the right direction: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=102172

noobs and their questions pfffft

LOL :D just what mother used to say

out of a matter of interest, say you did pop the fuse only and drive it into the ground, I think youd find a VERY expensive repair bill at the end of it. Same expense as rebuilding the engine................... I know what Id rather do

I looked at these and wondered: "WTF is he calling us all Steve for? Is this some sort of sarcasm?"

Then I realised you meant:

Thanks for the tip,

Steve

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
