4wd Question

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.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.

      The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
