Hi out there,

Fairly new to this but in need of some assistance.

My R33 4wd doesn't seem to be engaging the front wheels aka the car drives like a rwd car should. All spin no traction no real pull forward. I have bleed the system in the rear following instructions from this site and all that seems to be working fine. All that seems to be in working order.

I have had the car off the ground and selected a gear and all 4 wheels turn. But give it a bit of curry on the road and no grip, rears just light up.

I have had someone suggest the transfer case might have finally given up and the clutches within are slipping. Is there anything else I can check to help fault find the problem? No lights flash up on the dash, but I haven't looked in the boot to see to see if ecu has any flashes.

Any help would be appreciated, basically car drives like the prop shaft is out.

Realistically seeing as you haven't got a clue,you won't be fixing it yourself.

Take it to someone experienced with gtrs.

Give them money.

Pick up car in working condition.

Boost off into the sunset.

Wait for next problem to arise.

Repeat.

It is easier to play dumb and see if someone who has had a similar problem arise can shed light on the situation. There are no faults appearing in attesa ecu, the pumps work fine and are pressurizing, there is new fluid in system and is bleed correctly. The tires are great and never had a problem before, same with suspension. Car has run 11.2 @ 124mph on exact same set up. When the car is in the air all 4 wheels drive, but on the road drop the clutch and watch only the rears light up. As far as I am aware from everything I have read on here I have tried to eliminate most of the problems. Yet I am not sure as how to test transfer case and know that it is the multi clutch system inside that is letting it down. I was just chasing ideas that I may have missed by people adding suggestions. My main suspicion was the transfer case but wanted any light shed before I put the car on the hoist and remove the box.

    • 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.
