Ok So I have a R32 GTR and I have just made a big mistake from what I can tell.

So I have 2 cars a S14 and R32 GTR, While my S14 was getting work done on it i swaped the wheels so 2x S14 rims on the back and normal GTR ones on the from. I started driving and noticed that my Tourque meter was playing up and the cars power was going loopy cuting in and out and the tourque meter was testing in the middle and going up at slow speeds.

Now reading a thread on here i have just relised that it was the cause of the problem and that I shouldn't have been swapping tyers around like that but now I have the problem that even with the 4 R32 GTR wheels on it that the tourque meter is still playing up not to mention I now have a stedy dripping from the middle of the car (gearbox area)

I can not be sure where it is coming from though.

So what have I broken and is it expencive to fix?

Thanks all

It might be the hydraulic feed to the transfer case that's dripping- you will get slow response on the gauge if there's air in the hydraulic system too. check exactly where the leak is coming from before panicking too much and post it up. If you end up needing to fix the transfer case it's easier to buy a second hand one (200-300 bucks max) than rebuild-I have just rebuilt mine with new clutches and everything- parts end up being about a grand to do the minimum required (new bearings etc) Labour would be a bit though- I'd be happy to help you out though if your stuck for a financially viable option, I now have a spare transfer case with some good condition clutches and a fair bit of info on how to work on them.

most likely the transfer case is wrecked due to being overheated massively whilst you had the wrong wheels on. and yes gears may change fine. that has nothing to do with the transfer case. take it to a workshop who knows GTRs and get them to properly diagnose the problem. could be small, could be big. anyone on here is just playing a guessing game. the only way to find out is bite the bullet and take it somewhere.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
