I'm not a professional at this subject but my understanding is tuning is done at load points/rpm/throttle position so taking the shaft out shouldn't affect it that much as your tuning the engine not the driveline, I'm open to corrections but that's how I understand it.

Wont do any harm at all, just get higher hp reading in rwd vs awd is all. As you know the removal of front driveshaft is only a temporary measure for getting the car on the dyno & awd is re-instated as soon as testing is complete. Pretty common to do this if tuner only has access to 2wd dyno or 4wd dyno shagged/unable to handle power output of vehicle being tested.

The latter case was exactly what happened with my car at Garage Tenagah when it was being done. That was ages ago now & I have had no problems. Car is great. (Gearbox not so happy atmo however..nuthin to do with tune, more to do with my drivin) :miner:

Cheers GW

The only prob will simple disabling it electronicaly is that if something malfunctions u could end up with ur car spearing off the front of the dyno. Has happened before. JUST A HEADS UP. Much safer to simply pull the front shaft

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
