So we just finished our Nissan/JDMOC.com meet and I start the car to leave. Immediatly I notice my 4WD light is on, weird. So I drive out of the lot, the back end goes way out. Then driving down the street and if I gave it a little too much gas the back end would get sideways. GTR with RWD is insane! That was enough for me, so I pulled over, turned off the car for a few seconds, turned it back on and the light was off now. Drove away like normal with FWD working. Figure that one out..

Ive heard a story that if you are driving your car and you switch the ignition off - no accelerator - and back on (whilst on the move) you can trip the computer into RWD mode. Apparently you have to stop completely. Turn off the ign and back on again to reset. Might be a load of horse poo but may have some truth to it.

I might try it next time out.

Cheers

mm steak. i can't say i've tried a double sirloin but it sounds good to me.

as for the burnout remark that is totaly uncalled for. i can't recall ever having broken traction in any automobile....no wait, i just made that up.

My grey GTR is in rwd mode (with 232 rwkW to tease me). It has a FIELD torque converter that isn't plugged in (the sparkie saw it and went "huh?". The fuse is in and is fine. The car likes to go stepout a bit when launching from anything above 2300rpm, and when accelerating moderately.

just goes to show that gtr owners cant handle rwd cars thus need awd to control the power

*puts flame suit on*

any car i've driven in the last 4 years has been AWD, sorry

ANYWAYS, why would something like this happen?

    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
    • Everyone wants an ECU they can plug onto their engine, modified or not, and put of the box it just runs perfectly like a brand new modern engine straight off the production line. Too many people just don't understand things like the base maps are as you said, just to give a starting point, and then you need to spend time getting it right for your vehicle.   I wonder if the people wanting it are the same ones who'll just buy a chip for a "stage 2 tune" online and then wonder why their engine blew up...
    • Quite possible! And well worth checking out, as it will be more durable than paint
