Making an R33 GTR 2 wheel drive

[T517zGTR]

Hi all, Iam a new member to this forum and live all the way up north in Atherton ( 120 kms West of Cairns!). I own a R33 GTR V-spec and am keen to set up a system that allows rear wheel drive operation for dyno days we have up here (Only two wheel dynos are used!).

Competition is not that feirce and with a newly acquired Trust turbo set - up I think I can place well in the 6 Cyl category.

Problem is no - one can tell me how to do this! I know R33's dont have a quick fix solution (Fuse out like in R32s) and Iam dying to find out - can anyone help me! Thanks for all advice.

You need to remove the front driveshaft on R33, if you plan to run them on 2WD Dyno's..take about 10mins on a hoist. But I don't think it's so much a good idea if you plan to drive around without the fron shaft.. maybe ask SAU member "scotsman", as he's driven around woithout one for some time.

There is no "quick fix" solution.

Drop the front driveshaft out. It doesn't take that long...

From what I understand the only safe way of doing it is removing the front drive shafts unless someone can advise otherwise.

Are you the ones that owns the shell petrol station in atherton??

I was up in Atherton last year for around 6 months working on the Tinaroo Dam Power Station

Hey there

There was something in the R33 Service Manual PDF about making the 4wd into a 2wd by disconnecting some vaccum thing near the fusebox? I cant remember.. I'll see what I can dig up..

edit - here we go - anyone given it a try?

[Angry]

i thought it worked on a fuse relay? take out the fuse and instant RWD? .... far as i know at autosalon that GTR ran a 4wd run then a 2WD in one "session"

The R32 GTR's have a fuse supposedly (never seen it)...

The R33 GTR's need/should have thier front shaft dropped

On the R33 you must remove the front driveshaft, dont try and trick the ATTESSA system by not flowing power into the front wheels as this will build up hydraulic clutch pressure and result is a screwed up transfer case.

I tried it, couldn't get it to work (well no 4wd light).. wouldn't trust it on a dyno

[meshmesh]

see the other thread... this guys started! someone posted up a new thing you can do on 33's, as quoted by Nissan in the Nissan Service Manual...WOW!!! Remove a vaccum under the dash

[chicane]

Hmm I yet to give it a try.. but yeah.. i dont think id trust it on a dyno either lol
