My gts-4 seems to be lacking some front traction, the front torque gauge reads 0 all the time, and the front tyres are not gripping. I've checked the AWD fuse, and replaced it to no effect, any clues as to what this might be?

Also, I've had people claim different things in regard tot he gts-4 AWD, some say it's just like the GTR, others that it's a constant AWD, not simply activated when the fronts lose grip. Anyone know for sure?

Works just like the GT-R's. Activates:

when the rears lose traction

under hard acceleration

under cornering - the harder you corner, the less FWD is applied

under rapid throttle application.

PM me if you want to bring it around and we'll have a look at it.

Mine has stopped working altogether, and the 4WD light on the dash is always on. I've had mechanics all over melbourne bleed the system from all over the car, bled on the hoist with the wheels turning etc and no change. I have been told to change my ATTESSA pump, which is rare and expensive. And as above, the front wheels only drive when you lose traction in the rear-like GTR.

OREX - dont forget there is a specific procedure for bleeding that if not adhered to will make no difference.

Did they know this proceedure?

It was outlined in HPI some time ago.

    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
