i have been told the "SLIP" is for traction control and flashes sliding but when does the "4WD" gets used? i thought it uses it when you loose traction in the back wheels and then uses the fronts like the GTR.it has never been used yet.does it get used when it looses complete traction with the back wheels?

since i own a gts4 ill help out

it has no traction control, its just a slip warning light, cause sometimes your slipping and you dont even know it

4wd is working 100% of the time

so if all goes well you should never see the 4wd light

the only bad thing bout those lights is i cant find the illumnated dials to fit the gts4

the 4wd isnt working all the time

the car has a eletric senser that throw the power to the frunt wheels as the harder u punch the right foot the more power gos for wood thats y u can pull out the fuse and dino the car on a 2wd dino if it was 4wd all the time u wood not b a bell to do this well thats haw a r32 gts4 is set up dont no haw the 33 is

got that right, once on a wet night on a long straight stretch on the freeway doing 140 on fifth, when the slip light come on...wtf? real spooky...didn't even know there's any wheelspin...probably very mild. took it easy after that...

Wouldnt that require a variable diff? im pretty sure is all time 4wd

cause many people have told me that it is. and it sure handles like it is. Cause even at top speed i can fly round sweeping bends that are a little harder than average

Doesn't the R33 GTS4 have a torque-split gauge? The R32 version certainly does - it indicates how much torque is being applied to the front wheels. Most of the time, it sits on '0'.

The Nissan 4WD system uses G-sensors and the ABS sensors to determine if / when any power should be fed to the front wheels, either because of wheel slip (ABS) or acceleration loads (lateral / longitudinal G-sensors)

The transfer case has a hydraulic clutch fed from the reservoir in the boot (RH rear corner), to apply 4WD as required.

R33s (GT-Rs at least) tend to go to a sort of limp-home mode if you pull the 4WD fuse.

If the R33 is anything like the R32, then you can't simply bolt a RB25DET from a RWD in the 4WD version. In the R32, the sump pans are different between the RWD and 4WD versions of the RB20DET engine, I'm just guessing the same with the R33, but I could be wrong.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
