N I B. quick question.

Most times it seems that the switch is connected to the fuse inside the cab near the drivers knee.

When I chased mine down, I wired into the fuse in the engine bay box. This, according to the schematics I have, just removes power to the ETS motor, not the ABS motor as well.

Is there a bad point to doing it this way, or is it just easier in cab?

(other than the link being higher current run)

The way you've done it is the better way because (as you pointed out) the engine bay fuse disables 4WD only and leaves ABS functioning. The cabin fuse kills both. The reason most people use the in cabin fuse is it's easier as less wiring. Providing you used thick enough wire there will be no problem with the higher current.

does it pulse? I can't remember for sure, but I'm pretty sure I've done a standing burnout before with the engine fuse out. could be wrong those, i may have used the cabin one those times.

Ive got one of those torque splitter and RWD/4WD switches in one... though everytime i flick the RWD swith while the car is running it blows the fuse, though if the cars off and i flick it and then start the car it works fine

Any ideas on why and how to fix it?

so is it true you cant do a standstill burnout with ABS functioning?

I can do a standstill with ABS enabled but if i ease off the brake to start moving it doesn't like it.. pedal gets really hard and won't let you slow the car up again until the rears stop spinning.

I have a switch and a method for 2WD (it's pretty much 33gtr setup) and it doesn't disable ABS, if I wanted to hook a switch for this I just need to tap into the ABS fuse yes?

Are you doing it while dead still? You can't change it while the car is in motion

Haha, funny dude..

I have been in a Gtr that would switch while driving, is it just bad to do it when cruising or has he done something more? It looked like more than just a switch wired in.

Also, my front/ rear torque gauge thing(to the left side of cluster) doesn't respond and sometimes my tyres screech around corners, does this mean I'm only running 2wd?

Cheers guys.

Ok, silly me. all this talk about fuse breakers made me do the obvious.. CHECK MY FUSES!! Turns out my(under the hood) 4wd fuse was put in the empty spot nxt to where it should have been. It look intact so I went to put it in place(with ignition off obviously) and I could hear a buzzing from the rear of the car so I panicked and pulled it. Is this normal? Can any of u gurus work out why he would have moved the fuse out of line? Cheers again.

Jesse.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
