Enr34 Awd System

[Chaben16]

If Anyone can help me I was looking for some information about the ENR34 2000 non turbo model AWD system as I am thinking about purchasing this car. What I wanted to know, is it the attesa? system or constant AWD and does anyone know of any way to disable the front wheels like you can on the attesa system? Any help would be good

I would put money on it being the attessa system. Nissan wouldn't R&D a new symeterical AWD system for the lower end of their market.

I scratch my head everytime someone asks how to disable the attessa system, I mean once you do - you really have a GTS with a heavy front end. One day I plan on owning my own GTR, and their is no way I would be changing the AWD system thats had millions of dollars spent in R&D on how it reacts to conditions, to adjust it to a backyarders idea of how it should perform.

sometimes its handy to be rwd for a bit

im 99% sure its atessa , the v35 4wd system is even still atessa

It's RWD most of the time! AWD is only engaged under certain conditions, like cornering, or rear-wheel slip.

Frankly, if you don't like the idea of Nissan's AWD system, don't get a car with it fitted; get a plain old common-or-garden RWD, like a Falcodore.

sometimes its nice to STAY in rwd

Oh okay cause I was under the impression that the attesa system was electronically initiated, and I heard that you can just remove the fuse to disable the attesa system which sends all the power to the rear wheels, with no front wheel drive at all. Also you can just install a switch which enables you to turn of the attesa, I'm not really sure if this is true or what? but if so thats great.

I'm pretty sure that only works with the R32s. If you do that on a 33 or 34, they go into "limp home" mode.

Which is why someone worked out that the switch by-passes the "limp home" function.

actually when u pull the fuse on the r32's it compltely kill the front wheels, but the r33 and r34 the clutch pack is tightened by a spring (or somethign along those lines). basicly they will still be in rwd mode when u pull the fuse.

So you can somehow install a switch that will work?

I'm sorry I don't really undestand can you explain in dumbas language I don't know much about cars.

I'll put it simply for you as everyone else seems to be avoiding giving you an answer.

The R34 25GT FOUR does in fact use ATESSA. They are a great car and if you don't want something fast and like the idea of 4WD would be a great car.

Why bother disabiling the atessa? it's not like he's gonna drift it, and it ain't a crazy performance car so you should be fine.

If you want it to be RWD nissan also make model that is only RWD, therefore you will win either way.

Personally a 4 door auto with 4WD sounds like an awesome car to me.

Hey Guys,

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but had some questions relating to the ENR34, Particualr the 2 Door, Manual, AWD version.

1. Is the drivetrain out of a r33GTR? or more similar to a stagea RSFour.

2. Would it be as simiple as drop in a rb26 and instant GTR?

Thanks

I have a 2 door, manual r34 gt-four (had it about 2months now) and not many people really know the facts about their set-up, and this is only what i have found after reading up but mostly just driving the car.

1. Yes it uses the same atessa system as the gtr (which is only the computer side of things)

2. No its not a gtr gearbox, its definately not the r34 gtr box cause thats 6 spd, and the gt-four just doesnt "feel" strong like a gtr box, i would say its more along the lines internally of a rb25de box (same as a rb20det) or maybe a rb25det with the obvious casing changes to attach a transfer box.

3. No you cannot pull a fuse and turn it into rwd, that ONLY works for the r32's. Like previously said the car will go into a limp mode. Driving around like this will damage the front diffs clutches. Apparently you can disconnect the front shafts and it will go to rwd but the amont of effort to do it, just by a gtst.

4. HKS torque splitters can be fitted to adjust how much power is distributed to the front and rear. There is NO way to turn all the power to the rear, even with maximum power set to the rear, there will still be about 5% of the power still being sent to the front diff, which means no sitting on the brakes doing a big trev skid.

Although, with about 95% of the power going to the rear, that should be enough to step out around corners.

5. At the stock power level, the car just feels safe to drive in the dry around any corner. I can boot first gear take a 90 degree bend while smashing second and the ass end will attempt to come out but then the front just grips and puts you straight ahead, the car will understeer before it oversteers into a corner.

The wet is another story, since it is mainly rwd it will go VERY sideways if pushed but its a very easily controlled sideways since you can always feel the front helping you stay in control. So pretty much what i'm saying is if you want to go "drifting" like intial D in this car wait till its wet, go to somewhere quite, and have all the fun then, otherwise get a gtst.

6. The rb26 can bolt straight up and id say that once that was done, even in the dry the awd system will be smoking all fours around corners. A more budjet friendly solution is to get a stegea neo rb25det, change the front diff over with the stock gtfour one and your have a 206kw motor in your car cheap. Another good reason to go the stegea motor is that you stock gtfour harness will bolt up and the r34 ecu is flashable so you can get it retuned without spending dollars on a new ecu or piggy back.

Im planning to put a stagea motor in my car, and the more i learn about the gt-four i will post up cause its a bit of a mystery...
