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.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
