Hey all,

I just have a question regarding the 4WD on my R32 GTR, I have searched this topic and read thouroughly over all topics posted regarding this.

A couple of weeks ago my alternator put a massive surge of power through my car, frying many electrical components one of these I think could be my 4WD computer.

OK so at this stage I am not getting any 4WD, there is no 4WD light on in the car and I have checked the computer for diagnostic error codes, it doesnt have any lights on the 4WD computer, I have also checked all fuses and they seem to be OK.

So stating that do you's think that it would most likely be the 4WD computer that is causing my problems, are there any other electrical components that may have been fried? Is there any way of testing that it is definately my 4WD computer without swapping it over as I dont have another to test.

I also have a 2WD/4WD switch in the car, if this was fried would it prevent 4WD from working? Would I be best to remove this to be 100% sure?

And if it does come down to swapping over the 4WD drive computer is it just a case of unplugging old one and plugging in new one?

Thanks alot,

Cheers,

Mitch.

In the fuse panel under the bonnet... (Mine is fresh from Japan and still shows which one is for the 4WD)

and also fuse in the fuse panel.

Quick search on here should pretty much cover which fuse is which.

Easy option though is to simply run a test light over all the fuses and see if any are blown and may as well replace them while you are going. Only gotta touch the small sections in the back of each fuse and see that the light lights up both sides. Should take all of 5 minutes including getting the test light.

Excellent! thanks mate, I will check these out and just replace all 4WD fuses / relays and see how I travel.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
