So I've go ta 2wd dyno day comming up (in the 'gong) the 4/2/07 for anyone interested check the cruise thred.

Anyhoo, problem is. Can I turn the R33 GTR into a 2wd by pulling a fuse the same way you can on a 32? :(

Thanks....

32 only.unless you want to stuff ya transfer case.. i think by memory you will have to take out drive shaftso it dont wear..

correct if im wrong

Yep. Along those lines. The R33 and 34 GTRs run a preload on the transfercase clutch pack so it'll do some bad stuff to clutches.

Pull drive shaft to front diff if you want 2WD.

K- thanks.

Thought so.

I have a HKS pro torque splitter (in cabin), but doesn’t always switch over to full 2WD.

Does the HKS torque splitter remove the chance of clutch damage? I just got a new twin plate clutch last week!

it's not clutch damage that is a problem. it's transfer case damage. it's simple for 33 and 34 GTR disconnect the front prop shaft (sends drive from the transfer to the front diff). otherwise your front wheels will not be moving, but the transfer case will be trying to send a small amount of drive to them, this will wear out the clutch packs in the transfer case (not your clutch in the gearbox).

I might be wrong, but with my mates r33gtr we just popped in no gear then turned it off slowly and it went in 2wd

shouldnt do, that trick works on r32's only >_<

r33/r34's cant be fully switched to rwd only unless you undo the prop shafts like its been said. The hks toque splitter will only change with percentage of power sent from the motor to front and rear wheels, there will always be a small amount of power going to the front wheels even with the torque splitter fully adjusted to rwd. Just the way it is unfortunately...

first post btw woooh woooh woooooooooooooooooh

first post & spot on the money...ended up proping the front end of the GTR up (edit: cause it was too much hassle to pull the prop shaft) & running it with the torque splitter sending everything to the rear. But as you said the front wheels still turned & it lost power at the rears due to the fronts free wheeling...

Still screamed like a banshee thou... :P

thanks to D_I_F for the youtube clip...

You CAN make an R33 GTR real wheel drive only, WITHOUT removing the prop shaft. I have done this many times for dyno runs.

Under the drivers side dash, there is a small brown plug with a yellow wire.

Disconnect this with the car turned off.

Then when you start the car, pump the brake pedal 8 times in 5 seconds and you will see the light flash on the dash. Then drive the car forward for a little bit to complete the depreasurisation.

This de-preasurises the centre diff housing, but also disables the A-LSD diff on V-Specs, but this is no problem on a dyno.

Once the key is tuned off, this resets the centre diff to re preasurise

This information came from the towing recomendations section from the skyline service manual.

Hope this helps!

i'm not quite sure what you mean by drift ready. yes it's 2WD but I'd wouldn't call it drift ready. 32 GTR doesn't make a good drifter. lots of reasons why.

btw, dynoing your 33 GTR with the front of the car resting on a jack would have to be one of the sillier things I've ever seen someone do.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
