Torque Split Needle jumping

'92 r32 gts4

When cruising at a steady speed, pretty much no matter what speed my torque split needle has started to jump to about 5 percent then back to zero then back up again. My tyres are fine so I doubt it slips in and out of 4wd due to loss of traction. My shocks are stuffed, could that be it? Is there a sensor that causes the switch to 4wd and how do I check/test this? Will removing the 4wd fuse help?

I'm a bit confused, any help would be appreciated.

Mine does that too. Sometimes the gauge will jump to 50%, but no 4WD appears to be in effect. I think it's something silly like "it's getting old". It doesn't appear to have affected the overall performance of the car - the AWD still happens when I need it to happen. I wouldn't worry about it.

Don't remove the fuse, or you will totally disable the 4WD.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
