Hey guys

A mate of mine brought a stock standard c34 last weekend. Auto rs4 dayz edition.

We jacked it up to have a look etc on the weekend. We took the front wheels off and when jacked up off the ground the front shafts seem to clunk. You can move wheel a pit bit it then stops and clunks. Then we took it for a driver then tried it again. Then the front wheels moves freely. Anyone know what this is and what caused it?

Any help would be good guys

That switch locks the awd system in to 50/50 front rear mode. It is handy for pulling boats out of the water or getting out of a wet paddock but it will be pretty clunky around a sealed car park when making turns. If you leave it on the attessa ecu overrides it once you get over about 20 km/hr and resumes action as normal i.e. 5/95 split front rear until the sensors detect slip.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.

      These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh

      R33 disk brake size

      This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.

      Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
