yes we know it's not a "center diff", but most people know when you say the center diff you mean the clutches that controll the front torque. And it's a common thing for the clutches to be rooted.

i dunno what u blokes r on about.. my r32 atessa kicks in pretty much as soon as i have wheel spin.. whether im turning a big bend.. or an extremely sharp hairpin.. i can have the wheel full lock doin u turns and the fronts kick in as soon as the rears slip...

The majority of the worldwide Skyline community, talks of the Attessa in a BNR32 being slow to react... so YOUR experiance differs from the norm.. not the other way around. Thats what these blokes are on about.

...mines pretty damn fast.. and btw.. for the bloke selling lies about broken centre diffs... they dont have a center diff.. Its a hydraulic pump much like a torque converter with many wet clutches that slip the torque to the front wheels.. not a mechanical centre diff :)

Had it been a front diff.. it wouldnt have a variable front/rear ratio the way it does :D

"Selling Lies" hahah wtf

well...just my opinion but I don't trust it to grab in time over about 100 - so at high speeds i focus more on proper balance and careful wieght transfer/throttle control. I dont think even the world's best 4wd would be able to make adifference in the fraction of a second you have at high speed

As mentioned you want to go into a controlled environment and work it out from there. Getting out of trouble ,once in it, with the R32 Attessa is a little different to a normal drive car as well. The best thing in your favour right now is the fact that fear of it's unpredictable nature keeps you out of a coffin.

Hi :w00t:

I agree with everyone else....take your car to a track day & get the feel for it. Just make sure your brakes are good.... & stomp on them a bit harder & later for the corners. I think driving on a track makes you a better driver & it is fun!!

Good luck :cheers:

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
