The Line blew the ignition fuse, dodgey wiring for the boot solenoid on my behalf, anyway I used the 4WD fuse to replace it till i got another one. The next morning I went through a round about and the back kicked out and I heard that strange sound of wheels squeeling, generally only heard on a rev limiter start. Anyways at the next set of lights heart thumping looking for cops making sure I wouldn't get caught the line easily squeeled first and second through the intersection (don't bother reply with any responsible driver you shouldn't be doing that crap, 99.9% of the time I am). That was the end of my experimenting and the fuse is replaced. Anyways I always thought your couldn't simply interupt the circuit to turn a 33 GTR into 2WD only, but it seems you can. Someone did mention that doing so may wear the clutch plates in the transfer case as in 33 they are always slightly engaged as opposed to a 32 where they aren't. Anyone know anything else??????

I removed my fuse out in interest one day to compare.

I was pretty sure I was losing quite a bit of acceleration even when you couldn't hear any loss of traction from the rear tyres.

Doesn't take much to lose traction though. I could feel the rear of the car squirming around in 2WD.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
