Gday crew wonderin if by running my gtr in rwd not 4wd will do any damage to any components of the car in particular transfer cases atessa system etc?

I have air in the atessa system at the moment and am changing the clutch soon so wont bleed it till that is over, just want to check that im not doing any harm at the same time.

Cheers

Yerrrp a good thing to remember ABS will also be disabled!! not the best in this wet weather!

Your popping the wrong fuse..

Are you popping the one in the car, on the right of the steering wheel?

If you take out the one in the little kicker pannel on the right of the steering wheel, it will disable both ATTESSA and ABS

Try taking out the one from the engine bay.. I havent had any problems with ABS being disabled with that one..

In terms of conflicting stories is that you can't do the same with R33's and R34's GTR's. Thats where it gets blurry.

With R32's its fine. I have run my GTS4 for long periods of time in RWD and have heard many stories of GTR's being run in RWD aswell for long periods of time without any problem.

If you take out the fuse, you make the ATTESSA circut incomplete. If it is incomplete, it will not sence the diffrence in G forces (which is what activates the front wheel torque) and will not engauge the transfer case and hence, front drive shaft, diff and wheels.

GTS4WD is spot on. there is no need to disable ABS to disable the AWD. the reason people do is that they are lazy and just remove the fuse from the in cabin fuse panel. if you remove the AWD fuse from the engine bay all it disables is AWD. ABS is left intact. and no it won't harm your R32 GTR to do it.

Just thought i might add a mention to this..

Rmoving the fuse in the cabin removes power to the attessa/abs ecu, removing the fuse in the engine bay removes power to the attessa pump motor. This also means that you can't just come to a stop and jam the engine bay fuse in, like you can with the cabin fuse, and expect awd to come back.. Engine bay fuse requires a shutdown of the electrical system and firing it up again as you have driven the awd/abs ecu into a fault condition, it needs a reset to go again. (more pertinent to those that have switches rigged up).

Ahh, nope.

Even with a switch rigged into the fuse line in to the attessa ecu (in cab fuse one) you still have to be at a standstill for it to reset, otherwise it will fault.

Another way of faulting the atessa ecu is to turn the electrics off and then back on whilst still moving.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
