Gts4 + Drift

[SKITTLES]

Inb4 haven't done research; i've done a fair bit.

I know that the GTS4 front diff creates a bit of friction when disengaged, and there's extra weight at the front. SOmeone on boostcruising (don't judge me; it came up in a google search and I guessed BC knows heaps about hooning, so I checked it out) said his gts4 has been wired up to run in rwd, and he says it performs about the same as his gtst.

But I'm worried about causing damage to the front diff if it's been disengaged by pulling a fuse out.

Also, is it possible that the front diff can kick in spontaneously, even if it hasn't got a current passing through it?

I don't want to be midslide and have the awd kick in.

I'm not going to be a fullsick drifter, but I wouldn't mind being able to do some decent slides in the gts4.. plus if I get the awd it'll let me take it out to the skidpan and try out awd drifting....

Plus i got a driftschool voucher from my gf for chrissy... so i'm going to be pretty keen to practice whatever I learn on that day haha

(of course, I'm not going to be doing anything on the street)

What modifications do you have to your car and how much power is it making if you don't mind me asking?

assuming everything your saying is regarding a 32 gts4?

because if so, yes you pull out a fuse or get a switch to change between 2wd/4wd. 4wd will never engage with the fuse out as the system is electronically controlled...

if its about a 33 gts4 you have a bit of researching to do as they are hydraulically controlled and there is no fuse to pull out. some people drain the 4wd reservoir in the boot, but sometimes the 4wd may engage, pretty risky...

the only way to properly ensure it is going to stay disengaged in a 33 is to climb under your car and undo the 4 bolts to the front drive shaft and pull it out.... I can get it down to about 15-20 mins now, used to be 45mins everytime i wanted to put it on a dyno..

if its r33, do the pressure release trick with the green cable under your driver side kick panel.

pull green plug, turn car on and in the first 10 seconds push brake 5 times and your 4wd light flashes. you are now in rwd mode
