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

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
