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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
