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?

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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
