Ok chuckie you can take it confrontationally.

For the rest of the SAU community I am suggesting that if drive was suddenly engaged on a dyno the consequences to life are very high. No driveshaft = no chance.

There has been an incident on a dyno in Sydney where the operator nearly lost a leg when drive suddenly engaged on an R32 GTR years ago. Whilst this might be unlikely, for the 10 minutes it takes to remove the driveshaft it is worth the time.

Driving on the road is a different matter.

Thank`s Wolverine ,i seen few thing`s happen on Dyno`s & never nice, but it`s save as the System is disabled,the shop that did forum members car is happy with this,so iam not sure why your all bagging us about it :unsure: it`s in workshop manual why the negativity :thanks:

Forget it Charles, the idiots who have it stuck in their mind that it is a bad thing will never be convinced.

For the record, a SOLID 4WD light does NOT mean the system is in AIR BLEED mode, it means that you have started to drive with the bleed wire unplugged.. i.e. IT'S AN ERROR

The workshop manual provides TWO methods of putting the car in 2WD mode, one is drop the front prop shaft, the other is the method I have outlined.

The only way the system can engage 4WD again is if you turn the car off.

If you're that scared, then don't do it. Simple. Just don't come on here and bag people that have PROVEN it works.

I read and re-read what I wrote and I just can't find the bit where I said pulling the plug was wrong or would cause damage to the car.

On the other hand I was really pleased to have the information at hand to be able to stick it in 2WD for road use.

Well if you two want to get our knickers in a knot by reading waaay too far into what I wrote there isn't much I can do about that.

Just for the record, if you are putting a car on a two wheel dyno I would strongly suggest removing the front drive shaft. If there is any electronic glitch while the drive shaft is still connected there could be catastrophic consequences.

What is that then?

Honestly, I'm over helping and providing information to people in this section.

From here on, I shall keep everything I learn to myself.

Do you really want an explanation??

1. A car running on a dyno at 120km/h with switch disconnected = no problem

2. A car running on a dyno at 120km/h with driveshaft removed = no problem

Electronic glitch occurs perhaps 1/10,000 - 1/1,000,000?? chance and ATESSA re-engages

Case 1 Drive engages and potentially serious injury to operator and car.

Case 2 Zero risk of drive engaging.

It is probably a very low risk but it only takes 5 mins to disengage and bring the risk to zero.

So if you don't want to contribute any more because I agree with you for 99% of what you have said and disagree with you in one minor way then that is your call.

It's not you Wolverine, it's the majority of people in here who are internet warriors just make things so damn hard I cbf dealing with it anymore.

Tim, you know I love you :)

Look up high above the kick panel, probably near/behind the bonnet release cable. It's a green socket, white plug, single wire either side.

lachlanw: air bleed mode is simply unplugging the plug and turning the key to ON. If you forget to replug then start the car, as soon as you start moving it will throw up an error (the solid light).

oh my bad . how do you get it in airbleed mode ?

on a slightly related note i just downlaoded the latest version of blazt software which does hicas doignostic and real time display of angles

lol @ your a shit stirer ways lachlan. / thread. I can remember you posting up extensive info on this topic not long ago, i shall search. Havent seen you in here in ages. go back to the wasteland and play with your troll tard buddies. :thumbsup: You usually have some good info to contribute. Blatz software is interesting though.

Thanks for that. I found it. It was wrapped up to one of the wiring harnesses with tape.

I was surprised at how much grip I still had until I really started hooning it. Much opposite lock twirling. Reminded me of a couple of my old skylines n gave me a little smile.

Think I'm gonna fit a switch to it, for occasional sideways fun.

On another slightly different note. Is it worth running it in 2wd mode on my 60 mile run to n from work? Doubtful, but maybe save a little fuel ?

Well Try it & see what you get ,:thumbsup:

agreed, post up the results.

IMO: i think it may be less economic by trying to give you the same power(or more as some said) by putting it all to two wheels.

Just a question; With the gear box being designed for a Manual and not the RWD, would this create any extra clutch wear or gear damage? I know its bad to red line in first in a 4wd, so does this get eliminated by 'f**king off the wire'?

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
