Giaccovitch Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 R32 Gtr Has Constant AWD Hi guys, 4WD light is on but my car is constantly awd, I pulled out both awd fuses and it was still sending power to the front wheels, (I had the car on a hoist). I have found that the awd bleeder connector in the driver side kick panel is there but there is no plug or wires coming from the boot into it. There is also a small loom cut before the pump in the boot. I noticed when the car was on the hoist on the front right wheel was spinning the same speed as the rears but the front left was stopped. Also when I took the car around the shop it would shutter when turning and if you accelerated a little and backed off it would clunk harshly. Any ideas?

niZmO_Man Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Wow that is a strange one. The on front wheel spinning thing is because of the open front diff.

GH05T Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 sounds like something has almost shorted, faulty electrics keeping the awd engaged? doubtful the mechanical side would do that?

Giaccovitch Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 It's definitely electrical, the loom to bleed is cut, there's a loom in the boot that's cut just before the fluid reservoir, also there is a grey 2 pin plug that has been cut underneath the car where the motor is. i had to bleed the system by turning the car on and off a couple of times. I will get some more photos tomorrow Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472016-r32-gtr-has-constant-awd/#findComment-7849961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giaccovitch Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Do these looms join up by any chance? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472016-r32-gtr-has-constant-awd/#findComment-7850103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giaccovitch Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 That last loom with the red plug comes from the awd pump Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472016-r32-gtr-has-constant-awd/#findComment-7850104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giaccovitch Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Can anyone tell me where any of those looms are supposed to go? Would be much appreciated Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472016-r32-gtr-has-constant-awd/#findComment-7850393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giaccovitch Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 By the way I found out the main source of clunking was because my rear subframe bushes have collapsed Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472016-r32-gtr-has-constant-awd/#findComment-7850394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 If i jack my car up all 4 wheels off the ground and flick the switch on my 4wd controller to 2wd (same as pulling the fuse) I still get some front wheel rotation however nothing on the torque split gauge and you can grab the front wheels and hold them stationary. flick the switch back to 4wd however and as soon as the clutch it let out torque gauge will show some reading and front wheels won't let themselves be stopped. My Guess is your 4wd isn't engaging at all, hence the light being on on the dash.

Giaccovitch Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 On the hoist you can't stop the front wheel so I think it is working, I haven't checked the torque gauge though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472016-r32-gtr-has-constant-awd/#findComment-7851837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giaccovitch Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Fixed the light on the dash, forgot to put the speed sensors on lmao. Still get very hard shuddering on full lock turning as if the car has a locked diff, have tried new oil and additive. Still not sure Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472016-r32-gtr-has-constant-awd/#findComment-7853257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
