hey guys

im just wondering is the R34 gtr a permanently AWD or is it like the R32 where as once traction is lost the power is then split 40/60?

and if so is there any way to control this as by making it either RWD permanently AWD and then run stock?

im sure this has been threaded before but couldn't find the relevant information

R32 runs 100% to the rear then splits up to 50% to the front when needed.

R33 and R34 run 95% rear 5% front, the splits up to 50% to the front when needed.

There is a procedure in the workshop manual for putting in to RWD (in the 33GTR manual, I use the same process on my Stagea).

The manual states either drop the front prop shaft OR, disconnect the airbleed plug (inside the drivers kick panel), start car and push brake pedal 5 times, 4WD light starts flashing to tell you you're in RWD mode.

Have a good search, I have posted this up quite a few times and regardless of what anyone says, myself and others over here have PROVEN that it works.

It works so well that I've actually put a switch in my centre console and drive around every day in RWD.

Thanks for that post #@bubba!

I have the opposite problem... my WGNC34 Series 2 maunal, AWD stagea got stolen. The 4WD light, HICAS and ABS lights were on when I got it back. I have replaced the 4x 30A fuses in the engine bay and got the HICAS and ABS back straight away. The 4WD light stays solidly on...

How do i do the opposite of what you posted above? What is the airbleed in the kickpanel?

Cheers,

Mely

the airbleed plug method works only for the r33 gtr though or am i mistaken? ive heard the only way for the r34 was pretty much disconnect the front prop shaft. On a slightly random note i wished my mates read up on this forum here and there so they know how the attessa works, ive had a mate whos an apprentice mechanic who said if you keep putting the r32 in rwd mode you screw up the transfer case and another who said the attesa in the r32 is 60/40 R/F 24/7 awd mode. 2nd part abt the 60/40 i know is bs without an aftermarket controller but they seem to know more abt my own car then myself lol, however the transfer case part, ive heard ppl said it doesnt damage the t-case but if som1 more knowledgeable could verify for the sake of it?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
