hey all, just trying to wonder what the awd system of the stage is based on? (s2) so r33 setup

is it a mechanical diff or electrical diff?

torsen, viscose etc setup???

from what i know and have been told, it stays in rwd until it feels that the rear is exceeding its torque output and to stop it from slipping it will engage the front.

or is it just clutch driven??? clutch is disengaged until it feels slippage etc and then presses clutch together to connect the front wheels??

at the rear of the gearbox is a 4 or 5 row chain that wraps around the exit shaft

the chain runs into the transfer box where it meets the front drive shaft

between the shaft and the chain is a series of clutch packs which are designed to slip al little (a bit like an auto box) when some power is needed up front, the pump adds pressure to the clutch packs and some of the torque/power is transfered to the front wheels

the max power to the rear is 100% and when the clutch packs are fully engaged the torque split is 50:50

Thanks for posting this info up. I was also wondering how the drive system works.

Dunno what you'd have to be doing to get 100% driveto the front wheels or 50:50 as you also called it. Even "popping" the clutch at 4000rpm while rolling in 1st gear with my brass button exeedy clutch makes the gauge for the front drive move a lil bit.

aaaah, this is pretty cool. sounds interesting, may google more

I ran it through Google as well (on between load 200ton trucks at work) and found some great info on it on Wikipedia. There was even a video on it! I will be having an indepth look as soon as I get home.

Its a bloody awesome drivetrain. The Japanese are bloody Clever!

Max power while the system is operating normally is 95% to the rear. This is why you can't just pull the fuse to go in to 2WD mode, there is a procedure and it works, 100% RWD.

The system is pretty much based on the R33 GTS4 system, runs 5% preload to the front and splits more torque as it feels it's needed.

Another truck driver or a loader driver at a mine? I drive container trucks - mere 45 tonne max!

Yup. I work in a coal mine. I operate the smallest Digger there which weighs 300ton. Most of the others are 600tonners and the largest 2 are 1200tonners... Those babys can dump 100tons of dirt on a truck in one scoop! :D

anyone got the link to that rwd procedure (the one that you can leave the front driveshaft in)

I have posted it up a number of times...

But here goes again..

Locate the "air bleed" wire behind the drivers kick panel, it's a plug with a single wire either side (usually green socket, white plug).

Disconnect it.

Start car. As key comes back to the ON position, within 10 seconds, depress brake pedal 5 times, 4WD light will start flashing to indicate you are in 2WD mode.

To go back to 4WD mode, turn car off, reconnect plug and off you go.

I have hooked mine to a switch in the centre console.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      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
