im looking at buying a r33gtr v-spec 95 model and i was wondering if it was still possible to cancel out the front wheel attesa system and just run rwd with a switch the same as a 32 gtr? any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated

Nah dude that "switch" trick is only possible in the R32 GTR's. Not quite sure but in the R33's it means ripping a whole lotta stuff out... I have read about it but forget the details. Anyways not a simple job so i have heard. There is a topic on the forums somewhere, I will have a geez for ya.

So what exactly are you trying to do? Run the car in rear wheel drive sometimes? I believe you can disconnect something at the front and its not too hard.

After R32's the R33 and R34 run a preload on the front diff so its always a little active and you can't just flick a switch...

If you want permanent RWD don't buy a GTR.

you have to take the front drive shaft out... its easy as... we all do it for 2wd dynos... four bolts and slide it out... takes 10 mins...

or check out one of the engine manuals... aparently there is a wire under the dash you can cut...but I think then the 4wd light in your dash stays on because it thinks something is wrong.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
