I cant see this being the case. I know if you modify the torque split and put too much to the fronts you can wear out the transfer case but seriously, the GTR's drive RWD most of the time anyhow..

[nos man]

a friends gtr is running rwd ever since he put a new engine in! nothing seems to be going wrong

[vinnie32GTS4]

Only R32 GTR's and GTS4's can run in rwd. 33's and 34's will f*k up!

How come? Curious about this. I know you gotta remove the driveshaft for the front wheels if u wanna dyno the 33/34 gtr's but surely that shouldnt cause any long term damage? Wouldn't it just mean that more torque goes thru the gearbox to the tailshaft/diff? Or is it something to do with the transfer case?

Thanks

Can i ask while ppl are on the topic of RWD GTR's, where is the fuse kept that ya take out to have the car RWD?

[Evil34]

Fuse box in the engine bay it will be one of the green ones.

Look on the lid of the fuse box and it will tell you which one the 4wd is and just pull that one out and then the 4wd light will come on on the dash once you start driving.

Thanks mate

33's amd 34's have a 5% preload of torque on the front wheels so when u pull out the fuse for the attessa in 33's and 34's and start do drive off very soon you'll start to see smoke come out underneath of your car because the clutch packs in the frontdrive shaft have been rooted

Hey Vince, you've got me a bit worried there now......so what if I pull the fuse and drop the centre shaft to do a few runs on a 2WD dyno?

Can it cause any probs doing this cos I've already done it on my R34 GTR.

[Sinful]

I cant see the logic in this with regards to the R33 and R34's

The R32's are happy to be in 2wd all day long

I have seen shafts pulled out to run there GTR's on the dyno and have never heard of any damage coming from it..

[Turbz_13]

for a while i was running my car in rwd, after a while the the 4wd light turned off and i noticed on the guage that it was still transfering toqure to the front?!?!

i was told that just buy pulling the fuse it can still engage 4wd if the hydrolic pressure builds up. the only way to go fail safe is to drop the shaft...can anyone confirm?

I took the fuse out last night, drove the car to and from work and the 4WD light didnt come on, got alittle sideways doing a sharp u-turn so im guessing the 2WD has engaged, might put the fuse back in, just to be safe.

[Evil34]

You may have pulled the wrong fuse, just make sure as the are blank spaces between some of the fuses.

If you pulled the correct one you should be able to light the tyres very easily if you have a strong clutch.

hey mate sorry should have been more clear

yeah dropping the front drive shaft/centre shaft and pulling the fuse is fine

its just when u only take out the fuse and leave in the shafts it will fk up

hey buddy when u take out the atessa fuse the 4wd light should come up on your dash..its a yellow colour.. i know mine does in my 32 GTS4 and also in my mates 32 GTR

[GTR-32]

Yeh taken out the right one, taking off can definatly feel its in rwd and the car gets sideways really easily, whereas in awd it was alot harder, also the car doesnt corner as well lol. I'll go out and have a look for the 4wd light. What does taking out the anti-skid one do? anyone know?

[vinnie32GTS4]

anti-skid one is your abs..probly best to leave that one alone lol

Cool, that's what I thought. I was always under the impression that you have to drop shafts on the 33 & 34 GTR's but the 32 GTR's only need to have a fuse pulled fror a dyno run.

Lets you pull fully sic skids uleh
