Gtr Rwd?

[Goinsleeper]

if youre running a gtr, how hard is it to run rwd? im in the US and we didnt get any freakin Skylines.... sucks here..... and so ive heard what people THINK you need to do in order to run rwd. is there a basic toggle switch that can allow you to take all power from the front wheels and send that power to the rear? or do you have to actually pull the front axles? just somthing ive always wondered. thanks fellas.

different ways of going about it depending on which model you have. Best way is to probably get a torque splitter. If you have a 32 just pull the 4WD fuse. On a 33/34 things get a little more complicated as pulling fuses isn't enough, you'll have to also disconnect the driveshaft to the front wheels as well.

Which model are we talking about in particular?

i was wondering about them in general. i hear on the wrx they actually have electronics so you can tell it how much power to the front and how much to the back. after hearing that it sparked my mind about the GTR.

You do realise the GT-R is still a RWD, that intelligently supplies some drive through the front wheels? Unlike the WRX which is constant AWD (primarily a FWD with some of the drive sent to the rear).

If you don't want AWD, then don't get a GT-R.

Only the STI spec-c has the electronic torque distribution though right? Anyway the GT-Rs AWD system is different in the R32,33 and 34. You certainly can't specify how much to the front and rear but you can turn off the front. I think that this is mostly a reflection of the age of the GT-R. If you search you'll find quite a few topics on disengaging AWD on each model.

exactly what i was wondering. i wouldnt get a GTR if i didnt want awd... who wouldnt want awd? but in the rare case that you wanna drift for whatever reason and want to have rwd, i was just wondering how hard it would be to do that. thanks for the help fellas.

1) remove awd fuse

2) remove axle

3) get aftermarket torque controller (attessa controller)

they are your options, its been covered heaps of times
