Drivers side.

On the front windscreen.

The black shaft.

If you can locate the gearbox. Look for the transfer case. The thing protruding out from the drivers side of the gear box is the transfer case. There is a driveshaft the protrudes from the transfer case to the fron diff to drive the front wheels.

Im not sure if this has been explained in this thread how the ATTESSA system works. ATTESSA is the name of the driveline system.

It is the same as the GTR driveline.

Its not AWD. Its not RWD.

Under normal circumstances 100% of the power is sent to the rear wheels to drive the car. Making it a RWD car.

The system uses ABS wheel speed sensors, G sensors, steering input and actual speed sensors to assess whether any of the four wheels are spinnning or the car is sliding.

Once these inputs senses there is something going fishy. The ECU works out how much of the power needs to be sent to the front wheels to keep you out of a tree. From there, hydrolically operated clutch packs engauge in the transer case, which turns the drive shaft which drives the front diff and hence the half shafts and then the wheels. Making the car AWD.

Once the system has kept you out of a tree, the clutch packs disengauge and the car becomes RWD again.

Hope this helps

No, your car will shit itself and the transfer case will turn into glitter and a troll will jump out of your gearbox and kick you in the nuts.

Seriously, your car has ~100kw at the wheels, you have no chance in hell, in the wet it will skid, like any car above 40kw, but you will definitely not produce smoke, however you may be able to produce some noise, something like LLOOOLLLLLL coming from your tyres because you tried to "smoke them"

My AU falcon makes heaps of smoke, surely it doesn't have much more than 100kw atw.

Anyway, burnouts are shit, all they do is ruin your tires and there's no skill so it doesn't look cool. Once you get your car RWD, you should attempt roundabout drifts in peak hour.

Joke, but I'm pretty sure an n/a skyline would be able to smoke the tires, it's just pointless.

im not going to get into the discussion of what silly car can do burnouts, but just keep this in mind:

Au falcon- 4ltr

157kW @ 4900 rpm.

357Nm @ 3000 rpm.

1437kgs

33 GTS4 - 2.5ltr

139.75kw @ 6400rpm

230.46nm @ 4800rpm

1440kgs

thats curb weight for both... the au has alot more down low torque due to much larger capacity motor.... specs do not work out well for the skyline.....

so no, waste of time, thread is going to go to rubbish if we continue talking about this crap.

here's how you can smoke your tyres without removing the drive shaft

1: remove tyres from car

2: cut up tyres with a jigsaw

3: put pieces of tyre in a blender

4: roll tyre crumbs in tally-ho paper

5: smoke tyres as much as you like

I would like to do that, but combine it with candle wax mmmmmm smells good

front propeller shaft is the correcet term :D driveshaft is what the CV's are attached too

theres no point in doing it becuse oil will come out the transfer case and running it without oil wont be good, you will need to plug the hole up with a special tool just for that

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?

You could try a torque split controller?

apprently there for the attessa system, and gives you control of the awd settings or

you can go rear wheel..

why would you buy a gts-4 if you wanna "smoke your back wheels"?

Sorry mate thats wrong, it can only turn a car from awd to rwd for the r32 gts4's as they have electronic controllers, whereas the r33's have hydrological ones. All it does for 33 gts4s is controls how much goes from the back to the front, what ratio: 50/50 60/40 70/30 ...etc..

if its on 0 and you manage to slip the rear wheels it will start at the factory 5% to the front... if you keep skidding it will put more power to the front until the geforces go back to normal.

lol this whole thread reads like some schoolkid's fantasy or some kind of BS.

It's a heavy, N/A 2.5 litre. You're not going to get anyone around here giving you advice on how to do skids, in what is possibly one of the worst cars for it. Sell it for a profit and buy a VN. You'll be happier in the end.

my bad :D

I have one... makes a huge difference and I have tested with tyres down to string on a wet skid pan, with 230rwkw.... theres still skidding, but about 60-70% less....

Was the first mod I did and really happy with it....

You feel everything alot more, steering wheel goes firmer, response feels better, its a useful mod.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
