Hi skyliners, going through trying to figure out why my r32 gtr is stuck in 4wd. Low speed turning you can hear and feel the front wheels trying to turn and the tyres scrub under the force. I used to have a 4wd controller but this has been removed. Even tried to take out the 4wd fuse and it still feels like 4wd. I have never seen the torque meter move since owning the car for a few weeks.

I have done some research checked the rear reservoir and it's topped up.

Any helps or places to start checking would help a lot. I turned the car on and tried to look for the leds in the atessa computer but nothing showed up.

I'm not 100% sure on this but a quick google would tell you.

The factory front diff is open which would cause each wheel to spin opposite directions when spun by hand with the car in gear.

a 2 way wouldn't want to spin in gear, but in neutral both wheels would spin the same direction.

Have a go and report back

edit: Thinking I might be wrong now... someone weigh in please

Mm. Front diff definately a possibility or maybe transfer case problem? Could it be the transfer actuator? Easiest way to narrow it down even more would be take out the front shaft and see if that makes any diff?

I have also had similar symptoms with wrong TPS. But that's not what you have.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
