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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
