So we just finished our Nissan/JDMOC.com meet and I start the car to leave. Immediatly I notice my 4WD light is on, weird. So I drive out of the lot, the back end goes way out. Then driving down the street and if I gave it a little too much gas the back end would get sideways. GTR with RWD is insane! That was enough for me, so I pulled over, turned off the car for a few seconds, turned it back on and the light was off now. Drove away like normal with FWD working. Figure that one out..

Ive heard a story that if you are driving your car and you switch the ignition off - no accelerator - and back on (whilst on the move) you can trip the computer into RWD mode. Apparently you have to stop completely. Turn off the ign and back on again to reset. Might be a load of horse poo but may have some truth to it.

I might try it next time out.

Cheers

Truth

mm steak. i can't say i've tried a double sirloin but it sounds good to me.

as for the burnout remark that is totaly uncalled for. i can't recall ever having broken traction in any automobile....no wait, i just made that up.

My grey GTR is in rwd mode (with 232 rwkW to tease me). It has a FIELD torque converter that isn't plugged in (the sparkie saw it and went "huh?". The fuse is in and is fine. The car likes to go stepout a bit when launching from anything above 2300rpm, and when accelerating moderately.

just goes to show that gtr owners cant handle rwd cars thus need awd to control the power

*puts flame suit on*

any car i've driven in the last 4 years has been AWD, sorry

ANYWAYS, why would something like this happen?

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
