The torque-split guage for the 4wd system? Is the system working properly? No light on the dash or anything?

I guess what i'm asking is: Is the guage not working, or is the 4wd system not working and the guage is right?

Easiest way to find out is to get the rears spining and see if any power is transfered to the front. If not then the 4wd is not working. If it is, then the gauge is busted.

If the transfer has the wrong fluid in it the clutch plates will slip and you'll:

1. Burn out the transfer

2. Have a static torque-split

My kind Japanese ex-owner used diesel engine oil or something similarly stupid (can't remember now).

And dude you'll need to include more info in future. Your post was a little like asking, "why doesn't my car run 11's at WSID?" :)

  • 4 months later...

the gauge has never worked on my 32 gts4, though i haven't had it for long.. the hicas light isn't on, thought it comes on during ignition so the light works, and the car feels like its AWD compared to my s15, but having never driven it in RWD mode i'm not 100% sure..

the clutch was replaced a few months ago, before i bought the car, could that have something to do with it?

i don't really care if the gauge works or not, just as long as the HICAS is working properly :S

also.. i only just bought it and haven't thrashed it at all yet, does the gauge only move when youre turning hard or something?

quick answer. nope. hicas and attessa are seperate, but use a lot of similar inputs.

To test if the 4wd is actually working, pull the fuse either under the dash, or in the engine bay, find a nice stretch of "private" road and dump and go. Then turn the electrics off, put the fuse back in and rinse and repeat.

I find in the wet if i have it in 2wd it is insanely bad, like driving on wet oil. In 4wd even in very wet conditions I can't get it to spin a wheel.

The other thing you coould do is stick your head in the boot and see if there are any error codes on the attessa module. search for the code list..

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
