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).

OIC - but will my HKS torque splitter avoid this damage in the trasnfer case?

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.

Is a 32gtr drift ready just by unplugging the 4wd fuse n disabling 4wd?
haha this deserves a flaming.. im guessing your under 21...?

got a good clip of a BNR32 drifting.. but yeah.. lots of issues.. weight being one.. and early GTR have oil issues.. RBs dont like being reved high for long..

LOL at guy resting a car n a jack.. while dynoing...

i wanna see pics lol

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
