This is probably a dumb question so don't give me too much crap about it. I don't have a large knowledge about cars.

But, is there a way to allow the G35x to remain in AWD all the time and not change to RWD?

 

The X is always in rear wheel drive. It only transfers power to the front wheels when the rear tires slip. The only way from the factory to lock this feature is to engage the "snow mode" button, which essentially locks the transfer case. The only down side is the switch ingages some type of timing retard or delay in power, so it doesnt have the same feel as far as power goes.

What are you trying to accomplish by doing this?

 

From what I've read on here is from 0-11 you're awd 75/25and then it switches to rwd and then in snow mode it's 50/50 awd 0-16 and then rwd.

What I'm trying to accomplish is the feel of other awd cars I have driven in snow.

 

From the looks of it. Can't keep 50/50 at all times

 

Actually, after reading this you could, if you could manipulate the pump pressure going to the TC. If you were serious about this you might go check out GTR forums. According to the wiki page the g35x shares the same ATTESA system as the 89-03 Nissan gtr. In their case a lot of guys remove all pressure going to the TC making it rear wheel drive only.

 

After some more digging it looks like the g35x has an electro-magnetic clutch versus the oil pressure type used in earlier versions.

 

You can also remove a fuse to make it 100% RWD.

 

do you know which fuse in specific do i need to remove ?

 

Bump

 

interesting. im not familiar with awd. this is new to me and man kinda sucks if this is how awd works

 

Pull the fuse cover. It's labeled AWD. Fuse box is just left of the brake/clutch pedal.

 

Why does it suck?

 

More info for those who care. The system used in the 35x is the same as the system used in r32,r33, r34. Attesa E-TS is the system. Check this outhttp://www.full-race.com/store/r14-a...ne-gt-r-1.html would be cool if someone could develop a similar adjuster for our crowd. :whistle:

 

isn't the reason people buy an awd vehicle is for the benefits of having power go to all fours and better control. and not jus sometimes? isn't that one of the great things about the evo and wrx?

 

one more question before i remove the fuse. would i have any problem with the car after removing the fuse or its safe to do it ?
