M35 Front Drive Shaft Info Needed

[zei20l]

no ones game enough to, but we will be doing it soon enough!

[zei20l]

Not the case with C34 and pretty sure it won't be with M35. Haven't any of you pulled the shaft for a two wheel dyno etc?

yup did it this morning. slips right out. no fluid leak from the transfer case.

sorry, you were right!

[Sunkist]

so we can "drop the front shaft" as the gtr's do?

good to know...

[zei20l]

correct!! i gave both ends a spin and nothing leaked out etc.

the shaft has some grease on the splined end into the transfer case, the other end to the diff yoke has 4 allen key bolts. 6mm from memory. took me all of 3 mins

[simply_mighty]

Has anyone taken the car for a drive without the front driveshafts?

Be a nice easy way to RWD it up for a few days...

Knowing these cars though, it'll probably throw a code

i dont think it will throw a code. i think it will attempt to push the torque forward to 50/50.

only one way to find out.........

I would guess there is a 4wd fuse somewhere and if you pull that as well as the driveshaft you will just get the 4wd warning light but no adverse results anywhere else.

[Sunkist]

fuse? i think the fuse is hidden in the boot somewhere which maybe a pain in the ass to reach..

[KiwiRS4T]

OK in the C34 there is a fuse in the fusebox behind the ashtray I think but definitely one in the fusebox next to the battery.

or you could just unplug the attessa pump in the back right lol

[zei20l]

chuck a relay on it and activate/deactivate it from the front

[Sunkist]

thats the plan..

to lazy to make a switch though

[zei20l]

too lazy to know the difference between 'to' and 'too'

i have a pic of the attesa unit with the splined axle removed

[zei20l]

here we go!

[Sunkist]

do we know if it squirts fluid when the attessa is on??

to and too is just adding to laziness of adding an extra "o" lol

[zei20l]

well, it would squirt out all the time in that case, the shaft doesnt hold anything in etc. there is a seal around the output shaft of the attesa unit, similar to the yoke out of the back of the transmission

[Sunkist]

nice.

good for dyno days!

[zei20l]

yeah maybe ill go to the unigroup one with the driveshaft removed!

do it!

do u reckon it would send the car into limp after a while?

[zei20l]

no idea

when i can be effed ill take the front shaft out and drive around for a week and see what happens
