gday guys im lookin at r32 gts4s. ive found one and im just curious if you are able to switch between 4wd and rwd? i have a video of a r32 doing this and doing a rwd burnouit then 4wd takeoffs. ive also seen this advertised on a r32 gts4 as a cross over switch or sumthin. is it possible? is it recommended? cheers

why?

if u want skids.. buy a gts-t.. if u want a nice solid launch, buy a GTS4 and leave it in 4WD.

the weight difference of the GTS4 will make it pointless having if you have any desire to run it in RWD for any reason regularly.

But yup, it can be done via a switch or fuse pull.

He is right

If you wanna be cool and do skips then don't buy a GTS4!

Mine came with a switch and i think i have used it like once maybe twice for the 18 months i have owned the car!

If you want 4WD grip get a GTS4 if you wanna go sideways get a GTSt.

End of story!

do what you want.

people always tell me to buy a rwd car when i say i run my GTR in RWD... but thats their opinon... i say do whatever you want.

but hey... i wana launch hard and i also want to drift and also do track work.... the GTR does well in all of em..

the gts4 is slightly slower then the gtst over the quartermile

To get the GTS4 in RWD simply either remove the fuse in the engine bay fuse box, or install a switch which cuts the circuit. I believe you have to reverse the car a bit once changing back to AWD. I am thinking of installing the switch in my GTS4 soon. With regard to a GTS4 not being suitable for sideways fun sometimes, this is simply incorrect, there is obviously more weight up front but all it takes is getting used to. Last time i checked a GTS4 weighs around 1480 Kg's with/without a driver (cant remember).

BUT if you plan on running around all the time in RWD it does seem quite pointless buying a GTS4, the only time i'd use RWD is for a bit of fun or perhaps a future drift meet - thats me though. End of day "up to you"....

Cheers,

Rhys

From Expierince on the issue does installing the switch damage or harm the AWD system in any way?

Also any further input into installing the switch, and any bad "side effects" on the GTS4 would help me and others. Certianly don't want to "hi-jack" your thread but it is an issue of query for me too, Thanks.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
