100% untrue, they have the same AWD system, if you ran ATTESSA full time on the GTS-4, the transfer case gear oil would boil and the transfer case's clutch pack would be farked in no time.

Yeah, there are no part time $WD skylines in production. However I have heard of a front drive disconnect?

It sounds unfeasable, however I would be VERY interested to know more! Anyone else heard this?

All 4WD Stageas and Skylines are like a part time AWD..

R32 GTS4/GTR runs 100% torque to the rear until it needs to feed torque to the front, up to 50% split (also feeds torque to the front under braking).

R33 onwards run a 5% split to the front then more when needed.

With R32's, you can just pull the fuse to make it RWD.

R33 onwards you need to either drop the front prop shaft or pull the bleed plug and hit the brake pedal 5 times after you start the car.

Wow... That's a handy piece of knowledge. Thanks heaps.

Only wanted to find out cos I wanna build a fun bit of gear... AWD for track and street, but 2WD for ... ahem. fun?

get a R32GTR or GTS4 then, i run a torque split controller which lets me adjust how quickly (sensitivity) the front wheels engage when needed,

and also has a switch to turn off the attessa pump which means RWD for drifting

+1 all this is yours with a torque split controller.

I have just installed a TSC torque split controller last weekend, easy as pie. Just follow the instructions.

All i need to know is from the people that have used these units for sometime - what is the best setting to have the dial placed at for drivability, and having the dial set to 10 - does this stuff your front transfer case up?

Transfer will be fine

I change mine depending on driving. If its wet its up pretty high , freeway driving i turn it right down cause i notice the front torque kicks in too easily.

normal dry driving i like having the setting around 5 ish. Feels nocer accellerating out of a corner

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
