hey guys not too sure where i should of asked this so just gonna ask it here. some ppl have told me if ya run ur gtr on rear wheel drive for too long f*ks it up! is this true? cheers

I cant see this being the case. I know if you modify the torque split and put too much to the fronts you can wear out the transfer case but seriously, the GTR's drive RWD most of the time anyhow..

Only R32 GTR's and GTS4's can run in rwd. 33's and 34's will f*k up!

How come? Curious about this. I know you gotta remove the driveshaft for the front wheels if u wanna dyno the 33/34 gtr's but surely that shouldnt cause any long term damage? Wouldn't it just mean that more torque goes thru the gearbox to the tailshaft/diff? Or is it something to do with the transfer case?

Thanks

Fuse box in the engine bay it will be one of the green ones.

Look on the lid of the fuse box and it will tell you which one the 4wd is and just pull that one out and then the 4wd light will come on on the dash once you start driving.

33's amd 34's have a 5% preload of torque on the front wheels so when u pull out the fuse for the attessa in 33's and 34's and start do drive off very soon you'll start to see smoke come out underneath of your car because the clutch packs in the frontdrive shaft have been rooted

Hey Vince, you've got me a bit worried there now......so what if I pull the fuse and drop the centre shaft to do a few runs on a 2WD dyno?

Can it cause any probs doing this cos I've already done it on my R34 GTR.

I cant see the logic in this with regards to the R33 and R34's

The R32's are happy to be in 2wd all day long

I have seen shafts pulled out to run there GTR's on the dyno and have never heard of any damage coming from it..

for a while i was running my car in rwd, after a while the the 4wd light turned off and i noticed on the guage that it was still transfering toqure to the front?!?!

i was told that just buy pulling the fuse it can still engage 4wd if the hydrolic pressure builds up. the only way to go fail safe is to drop the shaft...can anyone confirm?

I took the fuse out last night, drove the car to and from work and the 4WD light didnt come on, got alittle sideways doing a sharp u-turn so im guessing the 2WD has engaged, might put the fuse back in, just to be safe.

You may have pulled the wrong fuse, just make sure as the are blank spaces between some of the fuses.

If you pulled the correct one you should be able to light the tyres very easily if you have a strong clutch.

hey mate sorry should have been more clear

yeah dropping the front drive shaft/centre shaft and pulling the fuse is fine

its just when u only take out the fuse and leave in the shafts it will fk up :domokun:

Yeh taken out the right one, taking off can definatly feel its in rwd and the car gets sideways really easily, whereas in awd it was alot harder, also the car doesnt corner as well lol. I'll go out and have a look for the 4wd light. What does taking out the anti-skid one do? anyone know?

Cool, that's what I thought. I was always under the impression that you have to drop shafts on the 33 & 34 GTR's but the 32 GTR's only need to have a fuse pulled fror a dyno run.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
