My R34 GTR started doing the same thing after I had it dynoed in 4wd. The workshop didn't know what they were doing & I hadn't had the car that long. Nothing I could really do, but they f*@ked the clutches in the transfer case.

I take my GTR to Racepace (any one will tell you Ben is the guru) and Ben diagnosed the problem accurately.

Replace the clutches after you do the air bleed in HPI.

A note to all GTR owners.

DO NOT HAVE YOUR CAR DYNOED ON A 4WD DYNO.

Anyone who knows what they are doing will drop the front driveshaft.

BEWARE THIS COST ME $1200. (Cheaper on a R34 as the clutches are replaced independant of the gearbox)

Tell me whats so special about nissans ATF for ATTESA?

yug: On a 4wd dyno its only running the transfer clutchs for a few seconds, not much different to giving it a bit of stick on the road, the clutches engage?

thanks yug_r34 for ur info...

i just drove it again and drives pritty much like me mates 180sx,drifting all over the shop...also got on the dirt and just rev slightly and the gauge moved almost instanlly,so i gather it may be the transfer case.....will it hurt my car by drivinbg it how it is or should i get a new box or case asap

bump will b driving car to newcastle this weekend,wont hurt me car anymore than it has already aye??????also will bleed system b4 i go so fingers crossed a shit load of air will come out of the bleed valve and it not be the transfer case,so wish me luck

gday mate, I reckon you have got really badly worn clutches in the transfer case.

Air in the lines, busted sensors, low fluid, all these things will normally turn on the warning light on the dash and flash a code on the computer under the parcel shelf in the boot.

In this case it sounds like the transfer case knows what it should do, but it can't. Another thing wierd as it sounds could be ferni's suggestion - maybe the front drive shaft is missing? have a look underneath.

Either way there is almost no chance you will hurt anything with a 32 due to front torque problems

no worries ill bleed the system next week if i can get a hold of me mates hoist...

i think u maybe right duncan the transfer case maybe buggered....

worth fixing or just better to buy 2nd hand box u think

definately get yours rebuilt. There is every chance a second hand one will be from another 32 and ready to die too.

Reasons to get yours rebuilt....there are a couple of hours labour involved whether you replace or rebuild so its not cheap anyway. you know it will be in top condition, and while its open they can put extra clutch plates in the increase the front torque which is desperately needed in a 32

And no I don't know where to get it done :(

or give CRD a call and ask who they use. I think you will find everyone sends it out to an auto transmission specialist since they are pretty much an auto as far as the clutch plates go. But I don't know who knows what they are doing with one :D

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
