not toyota, nissan attessa system.. any guru's?

[YeMs]

Hey all, not a toyota related question, iv got a nissan stagea rs4 with the 4wd attessa system. i have heard rumours that you can 'turn off' the attessa pump and make them rear wheel drive. i tried pulling the '4wd' fuse and it didnt make a difference. any one tried it on a similar vehicle? gtr, gts4 etc??

[sik_gt_starly]

for a mates r32 gts4 we just pulled out the 4wd fuse and it went to RWD.

A few other mates just rigged up switches through the fuse box to turn it on/off.

[Adamal]

Pretty sure its on the old ATTESSA system found in the R32's that you could do that, and that you couldn't on newer models, which would rule out the Stagea.

[rollaholic]

you can still do it, just takes a bit more effort to make it happen without things shitting themselves

[RS13]

Don't pull the fuse, it won't give you rwd. RS4 Attessa system is different to GTR/GTS4, if you wanted a rwd Stagea then you should have bought one, or you could always convert yours to permanent rwd using GTS25t running gear, but I don't see the point.

Converting a fulltime 4wd to a RWD is probably the most retarted thing you can do, Whats the point of buying a 4wd in the first place.

With lots and lots and lots and lots of power

RS4 ATTESSA system is the same as the GTR/GTS4 - underneath it all they're nearly identical cars.

The fuse trick only applies to R32's. R33 (which the Stagea is based on) and R34's have a different setup. Pulling the fuse will work (ish) Most of the power will go to the rear wheels and very little to the front. Doing this will also cause you to destroy your transfer case.

You can buy ATTESSA ETS controllers that allow you to adjust how much power is directed to the front wheels but the ones I've seen are all $$$$$

wow the constructive comments amaze me.

your an idiot, its not full time 4wd any way. Obviously your lack of knowledge compells you to make rediculous comments, that are of no use to any 1. go blow a goat.

pretty much as i stated in the post subject, tried, didnt work. not a case of "dont do it". its a case of "is it possible, and if so how to do it". i dont want any ones a$$ dribble spam about why i should do it. i know that i can convert it to rwd quite simply buy spending $3k on a box/front subframe/hubs/sump etc. but if its as easy as turning the pump off some how then im able to get the use of 4wd and rwd.

Im sure if the guy just wanted a skid car, he woulda kept the 570 odd hp cressida

geezus, where did all the negativity come from

Pretty much sums this thread up. See, 9 times out of 10, the kind of people who want to convert their Evo/GSR/WRX/GT4 to rwd are either school kids on holiday, cheap-ass dreamers who want to be "different", or backwards/flat-peak cap wearing dickheads who just want to do skids for their primered-Cefiro-on-cutties driving audience.

Judging by your attitude, lack of punctuation and arrogance, I'm picking you're number 3. I answered your question, if you didn't like the answer then you had the chance to ignore it, not make a personal attack on what I said as "a$$ dribble spam".

You make me lol.

well i had a giant rant come back to that, but my computer backed up and i lost it. all i wanna know is if it is possible to switch the pump off and make the car 2wd.

Bae! How dU yOu dRifT TheN?

that is a$$ dribble. if you dont have anything positive to offer, dont reply.

i can understand your sour attitude towards boyracers or "backwards/flat-peak cap wearing dickheads who just want to do skids for their primered-Cefiro-on-cutties driving audience" due to living in the boyracer horror capital of nz, but that doesnt give you the right to judge me. Im an A tech qualified mechanic from tauranga, im sure i can nut the 4wd system out myself but thought id ask a simple question on here first hoping for a simple answer. no need for spam crap. so, if you have nothing constructive to offer, go play on facebook.

Okay, fair enough. But why do you want your Stagea rwd?

out of interest, to see if it can do it, see if it will save on fuel as iv got a 6 week old boy and forumla aint cheap, im not against the odd burn out in a legal situation ( no not in the middle of an expressway at 3 am going the wrong way in front of a crowd of f-wits ). friends of mine have skid pads etc.

i just wanna know if its possible without too much hastle really. i do understand that i can convert it to full time rwd with a rwd conversion, but that would defeat the purpose of the 4wd, as i also enjoy the odd track day and the attessa system really pulls the front round corners.

[sergei]

You would not save fuel if you disable 4WD, as the diff still will be there as well as axles/CVs.

Drive Train Loss?

You're right though; I wouldn't expect it to make a huge difference - certainly not enough to offset the cost of burnouts.

Won't make any change to fuel economy. ATTESSA only transmits power to the front wheels when traction is lost at the rear wheels or under excessive acceleration/cornering G forces or based on wheel speed and steering angle. Most of the time the car is RWD anyway and the AWD system isn't engaged much under normal driving.
