Gtr Not The Same 4 Wheel Drive

Hi guys i have a gts4 with a full gtr gear box swap in it. The problem that im have is it isnt gripping in the front wheels like another box i had in there was graping (front wheels) prior to this one.

Is it possible that it needs to bleed up more. I bleed up until i saw no air, but this was from the back of the box and i know theres another spot by the motor on top the diff. Do you guys think this would cause a problem.?

Next is it possible to rebuild the transfer case as i dont mind doing it. Do you guys know of any threads here that has a step by step rebuild procedure just as a reference to follow.

Also whats the best place to find the replacement disks for the transfer case.

Thanks a million.

Do you have a gauge and is it showing torque being sent to the front etc?

If not, likely bleeding issue - seems the most common.

But yeah, if you haven't got the g sensors right (or even if they are not working) that can also cause it

Well all the electronics stayed the same all i did was change the gear box. Today i bleed both spots on the pump and the actuator on the rear of the transfer case. I have two different tires on the front. I ordered 4 of the same tires and will test it after they arrive. Last time i had all the same tires on the stock wheels and it seemed way more aggressive. I am noticing the gauge moving, its just not moving as much as last time. If the g sensor is disconnected wont the 4wd light come on. Thanks for the reminder. Ill check that cause i did have some of the wire disconnected to remove the torque split controller. Cant remember if it was plugged back up. I would figure the 4wd light would come on if that was disconnected???? The car i took the box out of only had 84k on the clock anf was always stock not even a boost controller in it.

Thanks for all the suggestion guys ill check that g sensor tomorrow first thing.

I can understand that. But i had the car set up the same way before the accident. Well just to add im using all the gts4 electronics. The only thing i can think of is i used the front suspension off the gtr because the gts4 wheel bearings were damaged. I would guess the front speed sensors are the same. As the drive shafts were.the same. Thats about the only electronics that was changed. I used the complete front suspension from the r32 gtr.

Did you check the wear on the attessa clutch plates before you installed the box?

:wacko::wacko:

No i just installed the box:wacko:

This why i was looking all over for a thread on the transfer case because i have 2 more and was wondering if i can stack another friction plate in there. I dont see it to hard to do.

I just cant find hard evidence of if its possible and what the results would be like.

Well yes, "sticking an extra friction plate in there" is essentially how you modify them for more front torque, just like tightening up the mechanical diffs.

I suspect there is a little more to it than just throwing an extra plate in as far as getting measuring and getting the right amount of forward drive without locking it up all the time, but if you understand how much extra you need then go for it!

If you look up the manual there is supposed to be a certain amount of clearance (for want of a better word) beyond the last plate. You measure this and shim the clutch pack to suit. A worn pack will have grater than acceptable clearance - the result is that the attessa system doesn't function properly because there is not enough force on the friction plates. The system displays the output on the dash - the output of the pump basically, not the torque output - it is too stupid to realise the clutch pack is worn. End result is the gauge wont help you diagnose a worn clutch pack, only a vernier will.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

      Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
