Inb4 haven't done research; i've done a fair bit.

I know that the GTS4 front diff creates a bit of friction when disengaged, and there's extra weight at the front. SOmeone on boostcruising (don't judge me; it came up in a google search and I guessed BC knows heaps about hooning, so I checked it out) said his gts4 has been wired up to run in rwd, and he says it performs about the same as his gtst.

But I'm worried about causing damage to the front diff if it's been disengaged by pulling a fuse out.

Also, is it possible that the front diff can kick in spontaneously, even if it hasn't got a current passing through it?

I don't want to be midslide and have the awd kick in.

I'm not going to be a fullsick drifter, but I wouldn't mind being able to do some decent slides in the gts4.. plus if I get the awd it'll let me take it out to the skidpan and try out awd drifting....

Plus i got a driftschool voucher from my gf for chrissy... so i'm going to be pretty keen to practice whatever I learn on that day haha

(of course, I'm not going to be doing anything on the street)

What modifications do you have to your car and how much power is it making if you don't mind me asking?

assuming everything your saying is regarding a 32 gts4?

because if so, yes you pull out a fuse or get a switch to change between 2wd/4wd. 4wd will never engage with the fuse out as the system is electronically controlled...

if its about a 33 gts4 you have a bit of researching to do as they are hydraulically controlled and there is no fuse to pull out. some people drain the 4wd reservoir in the boot, but sometimes the 4wd may engage, pretty risky...

the only way to properly ensure it is going to stay disengaged in a 33 is to climb under your car and undo the 4 bolts to the front drive shaft and pull it out.... I can get it down to about 15-20 mins now, used to be 45mins everytime i wanted to put it on a dyno..

if its r33, do the pressure release trick with the green cable under your driver side kick panel. :)

pull green plug, turn car on and in the first 10 seconds push brake 5 times and your 4wd light flashes. you are now in rwd mode ;)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
