What do you mean the front differential is not working? :)

I just got my car back after a 5 month Rebuild, I used to drive it in RWD alot of the time. We put the fuse back in the 4WD and it doesnt work?

Any ideas as to why?

Is the 4WD light on the dash on?

Is there any fluid in the reservoir in the boot?

Is the front driveshaft in?

Did they remove the gearbox from the car during the rebuild?

If so did they bleed the system after refitting the gearbox?

Yes, the 4WD light is on, there is fluid in the boot. Im unsure about the front drive shaft though. They did remove the gearbox from the car during the rebuild, But again unsure if they bled the system after refitting the gearbox.

Thanks foryour help mate.

Have a look under the car to see if the front shaft is in.

Find out if the system is bled.

If not have it bled properly as per Service Manual.

If those dont work then get hold of a GTR Service Manual or Google it up, start the car, and if the 4WD light is lit, stick your head in the boot and look to see what the small LED is doing on the 4WD computer.

If the 4WD light on the dash is on, the LED will flash certain sequences to give a number (aka fault/error code), once you know the number cross-check with the manual and thats the problem (basically).

My RPM is working, I did just have another boost controller installed yes, there is power in the fuse box. So it was a wiring fault or installation error?

i agree with ronin. check the number of flashes, and look at the manual. or u might want to check the wireing of the boost controller to the ecu. coz the source to my prob was just some minor wireing which accedentally got disconnected.

check the fault code on the 4WD computer.

get the manual, match the number of light flashes.

it will tell you what is stuffed.

Can't help but attempt to translate, I'll just add some imagination to the random fragment of text above...

"I had the same problem, with a switch that was put in "

4/to 2 drive melted the fuise bugger will swop the lot out of my other gtr

" to convert my GTR to RWD, I'm rich so I have 2 GTR's", just kidding about that last part :laugh:

.be 4 that leeking pipe on gear box had the lightes 4wd/abbes onthere is 5 pontes to bleed on the sistom no spell 4"

"I had a leaking pipe near the gearbox, probably the transfer case pipe, had to bleed the system in 4 points(? what the?)"

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
