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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
