100% untrue, they have the same AWD system, if you ran ATTESSA full time on the GTS-4, the transfer case gear oil would boil and the transfer case's clutch pack would be farked in no time.

Yeah, there are no part time $WD skylines in production. However I have heard of a front drive disconnect?

It sounds unfeasable, however I would be VERY interested to know more! Anyone else heard this?

All 4WD Stageas and Skylines are like a part time AWD..

R32 GTS4/GTR runs 100% torque to the rear until it needs to feed torque to the front, up to 50% split (also feeds torque to the front under braking).

R33 onwards run a 5% split to the front then more when needed.

With R32's, you can just pull the fuse to make it RWD.

R33 onwards you need to either drop the front prop shaft or pull the bleed plug and hit the brake pedal 5 times after you start the car.

Wow... That's a handy piece of knowledge. Thanks heaps.

Only wanted to find out cos I wanna build a fun bit of gear... AWD for track and street, but 2WD for ... ahem. fun?

get a R32GTR or GTS4 then, i run a torque split controller which lets me adjust how quickly (sensitivity) the front wheels engage when needed,

and also has a switch to turn off the attessa pump which means RWD for drifting

+1 all this is yours with a torque split controller.

I have just installed a TSC torque split controller last weekend, easy as pie. Just follow the instructions.

All i need to know is from the people that have used these units for sometime - what is the best setting to have the dial placed at for drivability, and having the dial set to 10 - does this stuff your front transfer case up?

Transfer will be fine

I change mine depending on driving. If its wet its up pretty high , freeway driving i turn it right down cause i notice the front torque kicks in too easily.

normal dry driving i like having the setting around 5 ish. Feels nocer accellerating out of a corner

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
