hi all I am having problems with my 32 gtr. I bought it off a guy. and it is running in only rwd mode. the 4wd, hicass and abs lights are lit up on the dash I have been told that it is a electrical problem. has any one had this problem before or similar and can help me find the problem. the guy i bought it off is a drifter so may be he has cut a wire some where but i cant get in contact with him

any help will be appreciated

4WD, HICAS and ABS....Yeah that sounds like an electric problem (R32 HICAS is hydrolic). If this 'drifter guy' has done something to perform a dodgy removal of the HICAS system then that will cause a problem with the power steering pump I believe.

Ok, if you do a search you will easily find the reason its in RWD :)

But, ill save you the bother.

If you bought it from a drifter, he wouldve been sliding it around in RWD, and to turn RWD on there's 2 fuses that can do this.

One is in the main fuse box in the engine bay, its marked "4WD" and the fuse is in a green plastic thing

The second is in the fuse box where your right knee is as you sit in the drivers seat, its the top row, far left from memory, also marked 4WD. Check they're both in place before doing anything else.

If they arent, find them (one or the other as the case may be) then put them in, then RESTART the car - check the dash and you should be right :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
