Help! R33 Gtr V-spec

[david-giles]

im looking at buying a r33gtr v-spec 95 model and i was wondering if it was still possible to cancel out the front wheel attesa system and just run rwd with a switch the same as a 32 gtr? any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated

Nah dude that "switch" trick is only possible in the R32 GTR's. Not quite sure but in the R33's it means ripping a whole lotta stuff out... I have read about it but forget the details. Anyways not a simple job so i have heard. There is a topic on the forums somewhere, I will have a geez for ya.

Argh! Not having much luck with the "finding"... anyone out there that can help with a link?

So what exactly are you trying to do? Run the car in rear wheel drive sometimes? I believe you can disconnect something at the front and its not too hard.

After R32's the R33 and R34 run a preload on the front diff so its always a little active and you can't just flick a switch...

If you want permanent RWD don't buy a GTR.

you have to take the front drive shaft out... its easy as... we all do it for 2wd dynos... four bolts and slide it out... takes 10 mins...

or check out one of the engine manuals... aparently there is a wire under the dash you can cut...but I think then the 4wd light in your dash stays on because it thinks something is wrong.

Thanks all for your help i'll have to stick it on the hoist and remove the front tailshaft at work when i want to have some rear wheel action fun, thanks

Remove the fuses from the attesa motor in the rear rh guard behind the back wheel. Bleed the attesa line near the transfer case (there is a nipple there) to remove the preload. No more attesa until you put the fuses back in.

Thats alot of buggerising around. You gotta think why you purchased a GTR to start with. They should be appreciated for what they are and not treated like a 180. Go and buy a 180 if you want a thrasher.
