well if you got a GTS4 why would you want to convert to RWD?

If its for a simple dyno etc. you have to drop the front drive shaft. That will lock it in RWD.

If you want to convert to full RWD (and please show me the logic) you need to:

Change gearbox/remove tranasfer box - no harm is done if you want to leave it

Change sump

Remove drive shaft

Remove all ATTESSA related lines/ecu/pumps

But why would you bother?

no, no fuse in the 33....

I have to drop the front shaft everytime I get the car to a dyno :ninja: pain in the arse... and I don't like the draining 4wd reservoir method....

but still begs the question... why do you want it rwd???

your not going to be able to do any better burnouts if thats on your mind...

overall, it is a horrible choice because unless you do everything Chris has said, the car is still going to be 50kg heavier then a nornal non turbo and your removing the 4wd .... why???

fit a TSC (torque split controller) then you can dictate to an extent the behaviour of the car. although this wont reduce the 4wd ..just control it. alternatively if you have an r33 unplg the g sensor...howver you still cant run it on a rwd rolling road as itll buggr the transmision. oh and youll hve the abs and 4wd light on come the MOT (or your eqivilant test)

so ..not worth the hassle IMO

if you wanted a RWD skyline you shouldnt have got a GTS4 in the first place. other thing to remember is that GTS4s are RWD 90% of the time anyway, its just if you loose traction it will throw some power to the front wheels, and even then its minimal

davegts4 is right

the Attesa system is smart like that. It also says in the service manual to never use 3 tyres and one totally different because it will cause an unbalanced reading and the 4wd light will come on which anytime that light is on just means the Attesa system is inactive.

Guess thats the easy/dangerous way and you probity wouldn't want to do it because its a big WARNING in the book :)

even with the 4wd inactive any attempt to put the car (r33) on rwd rolling will damage the tranfer box. howeve it can be driven on road in rwd ...

if tis a 33 all u have to do is go under ur dash find a pin with a yellow wire on it and take it out start the car and pump the brakes 5 times it disengages the front and u have full rear

Where abouts under the dash is it located exlacty??.

i have a s1 95 r33 gts4 four door and would luv to just know how to make it rwd

Hello

Where is the G sensor and what does it look like?

Thanks

Theres only 2 sensible ways of disengaging the 4WD..

1. What Dave said, remove air evacuation connector (drivers side, lower right instrument panel) and depress the brake 5 times within 10 seconds after placing the ignition switch to ON position. At the same time the 4WD warning light will flash twice a second to indicate it is in RWD mode. To return it to 4WD mode u place the ignition switch to OFF and reconnect the air evacuation connector. I've tried it and it works but never left it in RWD mode for long at all just in case it causes some kind of damage.

2. Remove front drive shaft.

But don't know what would happen to the drive line components if you left it in RWD mode for an extended period of time. Possibly could do some damage to something in the long run? anybody knows?

My AWD light it on in my GTS4, ive had it cheeked out a by a couple different mechanics and they cant find the problem, the AWD still works tho. cant get my head around it.

Have you/they checked for error codes?

Have you/they checked for error codes?

i have checked for error codes ages ago, after i had it hooke dup to a nissan diag ect, the codes are kinda hard to read but although i forget the fault code it was flashin git didnet help me iwth anything, even tho my AWD light is on the AWD still works. i dont get it. is there anyone who specilises in nissan AWD?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
