it sort of became common practice for some since one leaked many years ago, it might have been a box myself or mike (ex gtir) did a while ago. Theres no reason for it to leak at that seal but it happened on a car mike did many years ago and ever since we have both put abit of a sealent (instant gasket) on that seal just to make sure it didn't happen again.....it never did by the way.
sorry to bring up an old thread ,
i have the same problem here on the island we only have 2WD dyno's so my question is , is it possible to dyno the by removing the driveshaft that goes to the back ?
so basicly converting the car to front wheel drive just for the dyno session , i know some evo guys do it that way?
any help would be appreciated
Thank Myron

Removing the propshaft will give a better measurement. Jacking up at the rear will just introduce a big fudge factor. And might be scary. But you could probably polish the rear wheels, Mexican style, while the car's on the dyno.
as originally suggested by jack: it is a bad idea
it will put a massive strain on the centre diff (read: high potential for breakage)
the original japanese owners manual clearly shows not to tow with 2 wheels off the ground,
and nissan's official policy is "never tow a 4wd with one end raised and one end on the ground, as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle."

due to the fact that the centre diff is open, by removing the propshaft most of the drive will be lost through the prop coupling.
same applies if you lift the rear wheels off the ground, the drive will take the route of least resistance, ie the rear wheels!
plus its not exactly safe lifting a car half off the ground whilst on the rollers?!

I understand what your saying but we are not talking about towing but dynoing , so i dont understand what these two have incommon
via the centre diff (which will get very hot, very quickly)
in both circumstances you are only rotating part of the transaxle components,
and in a dyno environment you are applying a significantly increased load compared to towing
(read: towing is bad, dyno is worse)
yes

as above, if you dont have access to a 4wd roller, then yes. it must be live mapped on the road.

at the end of the day, you pay your money, you take your chances!
Oh dear!!!
BANG is the best way to describe what your going to do!!
If you have 2 wheels not working on a 4WD or 4X4 your asking for trouble in numerous places, especially when rolling roading,
the gearbox if anything will send all power to the rear not the front, i know the system transfers the power to the rear if the front slips so and i know it quotes in numerous places its 100% rear in some circumstances but not all im guessing
and unforseen things like, rolling friction of rear wheels and diff, mass of prop and attached bits n gears inside the gbox, im not a tuner but im sure these need to be taken in to account!
but by all means, and by no recommendation of mine please try it and report

I work opposite a certain dyno house in new zealand and the other day they took off the rear transfer box took something out the box put it all together and presto it was 2 wheel drive this was on a 4wd drive toyota the they stuck it on the dyno and put the part back in the box and off she went maybe dodgy or you might be able to do that to a gt4 but they got it on a 2wd dyno and drove away afterwards.

Tuners in the north west
I have just put a new engine into my R , so it now needs mapping up so i can fit my safc , 550cc injectors, z32 , downpipe with screemer. Just wondering where is the best place for tuning R's in the north west if i cant find newhere arround locally i will travel down to fc tuning in london as iv only heard good things about steve.
