hey, i have recently bought an r32 gts4, and have read on the internet that by taking out the fuse under the dash it will be in 2WD. But the problem is that when i do take out the fuse, my ABS light on the dash comes on. I have tested it and my ABS is disabled when the light is on. Is there a way i can wire a switch for the 2WD whilst also having ABS.

Oh and yea, i've already done a search

Thanx in advance :)

What Beer Baron said is correct. But the problem with running a switch to the fuse in the engine bay is that you have to turn the car on and off to swap between 4WD and RWD.

Running a switch to the fuse under the dash solves that problem, but you also disable the ABS. Most people don't care as they only go to RWD for burnouts etc and don't need ABS.

sorry to reopen a old thread but thought it would be better then making a new topic

but i have a 33 gts4 and want to make it rwd for the drags so i can launch it quick and not worry about braking anything. is it just a 4wd fuse in the engine bay i take out ?

There is always a preload on the transfer case in a 33 or 34, just removing power or hydraulics isn't enough to back it off and you'll kill the plates. It also means that the attessa is quicker to respond in a 33 or 34 compared to a 32.

      Carb issues - E15S

      By GregosM10 · Posted

      Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though.

      The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.

      That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha

      Brakes definitely won't make him faster. They only slow you down. 😛
