Yer mate, that sounds like its running in 2wd. Ive got a torque split controller in my GTS4 and those lights come on when i flick the switch to 2wd.

I would check the fuse box under the bonnet as there is a fuse there that controls the ATTESA. If it is removed or blown the abs and 4wd will come on.

I also suggest checking the fluid level for the transfer case which is located in the rear boot, right hand side behind the panaling. there is a reservoir tank there. This can also make the light come on but i only had the 4wd light come on from that.

Only other thing i can think of is the G/Force sensor under center console having a problem but i dont think it is that.

Let me know how you go...

Pulling the AWD fuse will put it into 2WD mode and those to lights will appear. Previous owner might have pulled the fuse for 2WD and never put it back in.

With the ignition on (i cant remember if the engine needs to be running or not), underneath one of those computers in the boot, is the ATTESSA computer, you will know it because a redlight will be flashing code(s) underneath. Get back to us on the codes and we can help translate to what they're indicating.

Here's the incabin fusebox (under steering wheel) translated and the location of the 4WD fuse:

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.

      You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP

      Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 😄 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
