Just got my S2, which came with a pathetic 5 page cut-down "owners manual" (or the car-yards attempt at one) that refers only to the S1. So ... does anyone know where I can download a complete S2 Owners Manual, or have one I can purchase? I've done a google search and scoured Ebay to no avail. I've been reading the forums on here and discovered I've purchased a RSFOUR V with all the tricks, except the woodgrain dash, but have no idea what half the crap does.

If someone could tell me what the following buttons do that will get me started :blink:

There's a button just to the left of the stearing column with 4 wheels and an S in a circle in the middle, this lights up an identical light on the dash when pressed. Theory's thrown at me by my dopey mates is Traction Control, Center Diff Lock, Sports Mode, or Stability Control toggle. What is it really?

Also, on the centre console just under the arm rest is 2 switches for the seat warmers, but to the right of them is another toggle that says "Snow" above it and "A/T" on it ... wtf does this do??

The other buttons that had me confused only needed to be pressed for it to become obvious what they did, such as the side mirrors folding in etc but these 2 have me baffled as I cannot notice any immediate effect after turning them on/off.

Welcome Cozza

The 4 wheels switch is "Syncro Mode" which locks the split to 50% front 50% rear

The Snow switch is for driving in the snow funnily enough stops the wheels spinning and shit

If you want a manual you'll have to sign up here http://www.jpnz.co.nz/afawcs0131170/CATID=...1/products.html and wait until 2015 like the rest of us...

Regards

Snow button will prevent it going into 1st gear, ie take off in 2nd and I think change gears lower in the rev range.

Also, not a good idea to use the synchro button on hard surfaces at speed, only on grass, snow etc when you need it. Puts stress on the transfer case, especially when cornering on ashphalt. Ive only ever used it when on wet grass or at the boat ramp etc.

PS welcome by the way.

You won't need an owners manual, theres more info to be found on this forum, just about everything has been covered a few times over.

Ive got the full Japanese workshop manual, can be handy if you can work things out from the pictures, and also if you want to know a little more about your car, pm me your vin and ill send you what options your car came with.

The synchro button locks in 50/50 front rear drive - good for pulling your boat (one's boat as it were, I don't actually have a boat) out of the water or getting off the beach but when you get up speed (I'm not sure exactly where) the Attessa computer takes over and it goes back to 95% rear drive until it senses you're losing traction when it tranfers more drive to the front.

The snow button locks out first gear so its handy on the dyno where you can put the snow button on and select second gear so that the box won't kick down during a power run.

The power button (on the same rocker as the snow button at least on my car) makes the gearbox hang on longer before changing up but you can get the same effect by keeping your foot flat to the floor.

You can get an owners handbook for around $50 from the same place as you sign up for the manual. It tells you what controls do but it doesn't have any technical specifications.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
