Thanks for the quick replies, from the sound of it, it is pretty simple? Is their anything else that needs to be done in order to drive RWD? Or simply hook up a switch to turn the "Attessa" fuse on/off??

From the last post, I'm guesing you mean that the car will always drive in RWD until traction is lost, then AWD kicks in?

The reason I am asking this is because I might be able to pick up a GTR fairly cheap, but i would still like to be able to drift it without too much hassle.

Would their be a big traction problem?

I know this sounds stupid, but I'ma noob to skylines.. When you say take the drive shafts out of the front, are you joking or being serious???

There is a little bleeder thing on the clutch pack for the ATESSA, if you are intending to make it really RWD then it is worth cracking that open (watch out for fluid).

Also for a drift car you would want to get a HICAS (4WS) lock.

p.s. You can take out the driveshafts and it would save weight.

If you are planning on driving the car for a long time with the fuse out then you will burn out the transfer case unless you pull the front drive shaft out. And anyway you dont need to *** around with changing it from awd to rwd as the gtr already does this so you dont need to *** around with it in the first place.

The reason I wanted to **** around with the AWD to RWD is because I would still like to slide the GTR, without having the front wheels working giving me more traction to make it harder to slide.

Most would say just buy a GTS-T, but if I can get a GTR for a good price then I would rather one of them :)

I will definately email "skylinegeoff" when I get the car over here, and thanks for those pics, I'm checking them out now.

Only bad things seem to happen when gtr owners decide to make their cars rwd when they are designed to be awd. 2 such examples i have seen recently have had a nice inprint of a light post on the side of the cars :) Needless to say these 2 cars are now NWD (no wheels drive)

LOL, is traction really a big problem when going from awd to rwd on a GTR?? And you can hit a pole sideways in any car really, all depends on the driver and how stupid they feel like being.

1) Maybe try www.Autospeed.com, I know they have an adjustable gadget that controls torque from the front to rear.

2) As far as making drifting a GTR.. sure it's not as easy as a RWD, but it's as simple as popping the clutch, and alot more easy to control than a RWD. But of all GTR's the 32 is this easiest with it's known rear wheel bias.

I agree with INASNT, start stuffing around with something that's designed for one thing can't be good. Most guys looking for a RWD option on GTR's are draggers, who switch to RWD to wam the rears before a run, the back to 4WD to launch.

I'm not sure what would happen if you dropped the front drive shafts and left the fuse in, I'd guess that it wouldn't like it very much. Maybe ask one of the tuners on here or SydneyKid for a definate answer.

I would suggest you try drifting the gtr first before worrying about changing it. Plenty of 32 owners have been caught out with the amount of drift the 32 allows before the attessa kicks in...

cheers

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
