if its s2 stagea, the green plug with 1 wire hanging from it, under the drivest side kick panel, turn your car on and press brake 5 times quickly within 10 secs. then 4wd light should be flashing. all done

I wouldnt be doing this.

Do it properly and remove the FOUR bolts to the front shaft and if you dont want a warning light pull the fuse at the same time.

the s2 should be fine with it, i have the r33 user manual and it states in there that that is a "factory diagnostics way" of putting it into RWD, releases clutch pressure to the front drive aswell.

plus i think its also been said here a by a couple of people aswell. i havent had any wear on my front transfer case either, just last weekend i pulled my box out for a leak problem so i took the time to take it alllllll apart to give a thorough check. all seems nice

It may say that by disconnecting the wire it will put it in to two wheel drive mode but i bet it doesn't say you can use it for doing burn outs or driving hard,

there is probably a warning in the manual saying that it is only to be used for diagnostic.

I know I wont be using the wire to make it a 2wd car,

1. in the manual there is no warning, 2. so how can it become full 2wd but not be able to do burnouts?

the wire + brakes releases the pressure on the clutch plates in the transfer case, the fuse does not.

fuse will still have the clutches slip but not engage.

but each to their own, i havent had any trouble while driving and i havent had any wear and tear in the transfer case, but like everyone says, if you dont trust it, disconnect the front just in case.

What i was trying to say is its one thing to put it in 2wd and drive for short/normal driving its another to put it in 2wd and thrash the shit out of it, didn't some one say it was for diagnostic? doing diagnostic tests is a little different to drifting.

But as you say each to there own.

It's for turning the front wheels off completely in case there is an issue with the 4WD system.

I run mine in RWD pretty much all the time, my 4WD system still works perfectly when I want it to and in RWD it cops a lot of punishment.. plenty of burnouts, several laps of Barbagallos etc.

Believe the hype, or believe the people that have proven it works.

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
