Hey all,

I just have a question regarding the 4WD on my R32 GTR, I have searched this topic and read thouroughly over all topics posted regarding this.

A couple of weeks ago my alternator put a massive surge of power through my car, frying many electrical components one of these I think could be my 4WD computer.

OK so at this stage I am not getting any 4WD, there is no 4WD light on in the car and I have checked the computer for diagnostic error codes, it doesnt have any lights on the 4WD computer, I have also checked all fuses and they seem to be OK.

So stating that do you's think that it would most likely be the 4WD computer that is causing my problems, are there any other electrical components that may have been fried? Is there any way of testing that it is definately my 4WD computer without swapping it over as I dont have another to test.

I also have a 2WD/4WD switch in the car, if this was fried would it prevent 4WD from working? Would I be best to remove this to be 100% sure?

And if it does come down to swapping over the 4WD drive computer is it just a case of unplugging old one and plugging in new one?

Thanks alot,

Cheers,

Mitch.

In the fuse panel under the bonnet... (Mine is fresh from Japan and still shows which one is for the 4WD)

and also fuse in the fuse panel.

Quick search on here should pretty much cover which fuse is which.

Easy option though is to simply run a test light over all the fuses and see if any are blown and may as well replace them while you are going. Only gotta touch the small sections in the back of each fuse and see that the light lights up both sides. Should take all of 5 minutes including getting the test light.

Excellent! thanks mate, I will check these out and just replace all 4WD fuses / relays and see how I travel.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
