Drivers side.

On the front windscreen.

The black shaft.

If you can locate the gearbox. Look for the transfer case. The thing protruding out from the drivers side of the gear box is the transfer case. There is a driveshaft the protrudes from the transfer case to the fron diff to drive the front wheels.

Im not sure if this has been explained in this thread how the ATTESSA system works. ATTESSA is the name of the driveline system.

It is the same as the GTR driveline.

Its not AWD. Its not RWD.

Under normal circumstances 100% of the power is sent to the rear wheels to drive the car. Making it a RWD car.

The system uses ABS wheel speed sensors, G sensors, steering input and actual speed sensors to assess whether any of the four wheels are spinnning or the car is sliding.

Once these inputs senses there is something going fishy. The ECU works out how much of the power needs to be sent to the front wheels to keep you out of a tree. From there, hydrolically operated clutch packs engauge in the transer case, which turns the drive shaft which drives the front diff and hence the half shafts and then the wheels. Making the car AWD.

Once the system has kept you out of a tree, the clutch packs disengauge and the car becomes RWD again.

Hope this helps

No, your car will shit itself and the transfer case will turn into glitter and a troll will jump out of your gearbox and kick you in the nuts.

Seriously, your car has ~100kw at the wheels, you have no chance in hell, in the wet it will skid, like any car above 40kw, but you will definitely not produce smoke, however you may be able to produce some noise, something like LLOOOLLLLLL coming from your tyres because you tried to "smoke them"

My AU falcon makes heaps of smoke, surely it doesn't have much more than 100kw atw.

Anyway, burnouts are shit, all they do is ruin your tires and there's no skill so it doesn't look cool. Once you get your car RWD, you should attempt roundabout drifts in peak hour.

Joke, but I'm pretty sure an n/a skyline would be able to smoke the tires, it's just pointless.

im not going to get into the discussion of what silly car can do burnouts, but just keep this in mind:

Au falcon- 4ltr

157kW @ 4900 rpm.

357Nm @ 3000 rpm.

1437kgs

33 GTS4 - 2.5ltr

139.75kw @ 6400rpm

230.46nm @ 4800rpm

1440kgs

thats curb weight for both... the au has alot more down low torque due to much larger capacity motor.... specs do not work out well for the skyline.....

http://www.trueblueford.com/AU_FalconS_Specifications.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_AU_Falcon

so no, waste of time, thread is going to go to rubbish if we continue talking about this crap.

here's how you can smoke your tyres without removing the drive shaft

1: remove tyres from car

2: cut up tyres with a jigsaw

3: put pieces of tyre in a blender

4: roll tyre crumbs in tally-ho paper

5: smoke tyres as much as you like

I would like to do that, but combine it with candle wax mmmmmm smells good

front propeller shaft is the correcet term :D driveshaft is what the CV's are attached too

theres no point in doing it becuse oil will come out the transfer case and running it without oil wont be good, you will need to plug the hole up with a special tool just for that

Theres only 2 sensible ways of disengaging the 4WD..

1. What Dave said, remove air evacuation connector (drivers side, lower right instrument panel) and depress the brake 5 times within 10 seconds after placing the ignition switch to ON position. At the same time the 4WD warning light will flash twice a second to indicate it is in RWD mode. To return it to 4WD mode u place the ignition switch to OFF and reconnect the air evacuation connector. I've tried it and it works but never left it in RWD mode for long at all just in case it causes some kind of damage.

2. Remove front drive shaft.

But don't know what would happen to the drive line components if you left it in RWD mode for an extended period of time. Possibly could do some damage to something in the long run? anybody knows?

You could try a torque split controller?

apprently there for the attessa system, and gives you control of the awd settings or

you can go rear wheel..

why would you buy a gts-4 if you wanna "smoke your back wheels"?

Sorry mate thats wrong, it can only turn a car from awd to rwd for the r32 gts4's as they have electronic controllers, whereas the r33's have hydrological ones. All it does for 33 gts4s is controls how much goes from the back to the front, what ratio: 50/50 60/40 70/30 ...etc..

if its on 0 and you manage to slip the rear wheels it will start at the factory 5% to the front... if you keep skidding it will put more power to the front until the geforces go back to normal.

lol this whole thread reads like some schoolkid's fantasy or some kind of BS.

It's a heavy, N/A 2.5 litre. You're not going to get anyone around here giving you advice on how to do skids, in what is possibly one of the worst cars for it. Sell it for a profit and buy a VN. You'll be happier in the end.

my bad :D

I have one... makes a huge difference and I have tested with tyres down to string on a wet skid pan, with 230rwkw.... theres still skidding, but about 60-70% less....

Was the first mod I did and really happy with it....

You feel everything alot more, steering wheel goes firmer, response feels better, its a useful mod.

    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
    • It’s an rb25 so a gtst and I’ll get that valve
    • Thank you for this my turbo doesn’t have the nipple so I’ll get one installed in the turbo to Intercooler piping. I’ll get everything I need and locate it all using the information you both gave and get back with an update. 
    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
