Can you disengage the awd system in a 94 legacy by pulling out a fuse?

[Guest]

A mate was saying that you can and there is a black box under the bonet Is this true?

[Dv8er - FSTWRX]

Has it got a 4EAT transmission?

[Joker]

if yes then NO

because you insert a fuse to make it 2wd or like me wire it up to the handbrake for max attack in Auto-X's

ONLY Auto's too btw : recommended for when you have a flat tire and ALWAYS fit the SPACE SAVER to the rear wheels : never the front

Meh minor details

[MercuryFree]

The one in the auto turbo models locks the diff instead

[Guest]

Okay so I can't make it rwd then haha

[rex-leggy]

[DacerX]

lol always cracks me up when people say this, why would we want a nissan when we own subarus :

i'd have my rwd wrx over a rwd nissan any day. im not a fan of nissans btw.

although doing it with a fuse or whatever is not the way.

cant say ive had that happen. but yea i agree its personal preference which is why i dont understand why people always say 'get a nissan'.

[94 Leone]

Because they can't understand the boxer engine I have actually come to disdain nissans as all the people I know that own them are asshats and constantly give me shit for my suby, although its in the shed not going atm, I will change that. And then it will go faster than their little n/a a31 cefiros and auto skylines. Its funny, they think they can get it running n/a then put in a turbo later using the same ecu.. asshats? Yes. But if you want it rwd to drift, just learn to drift 4wd, way more skill involved. And you then don't look like an asshat, or as mentioned before, convert to rwd the hard way, no electronics involved.

Ok, i got a turbo auto 1994 wagon, there is a small fuse box with a lid saying "lock diff" without a fuse in it so im guessing it cant be turned to rear wheel?

[Guest]

Yeah the diff lock one

uve been in the car when it happened

btw if anyone wants a rwd gearbox let me know im going back to 4wd

[Marky]

So in theory, if centre diff is locked you could ahem remove front axles for some sweet auto dorifto antics

God that'd be a fun car to balance on the throttle, a TT scooby combined with an auto box - one or the other is bad enough.

Waaaarp got a sweet drift now bro *back off* *auto changes down* floor it *no boost car straightens up* OH THERE'S THE BOOST *steps out again*

Another subaru v power pole makes the news

[DRFVDR]

Not how it works sorry

Fitting a fuse into the holder under the bonnet (marked with a FWD) turns OFF the centre diff (actually just a clutch pack in autos ) so it makes it FWD only

[Guest]

some cars have fwd and others have diff lock or locked diff written on them do they basically all do the same thing when inserting the fuse?

[Joker]

yup : engage what is written on them

both would be recommended as temproary

[94 Leone]

FWD is for; you have a flat, and put a biscuit on.

or, you don't want the rear wheels to engage(for some reason).

[Guest]

okay makes sense I guess the only way to have a rwd wagon is to pull out the front cv's ahha

[Joker]

AND lock the centre diff

always fit a space saver to the rear wheels (move a good wheel to the front if you have to)

Definately, you always want maximum traction on your wheels that point the car where to go.

I thought I might be a cheeky bugger, and always carry around a full set of tyres in the boot, cos then If someone doesn't like me, and they slash my tyres, I'll be like "Haha!- spare tyres!"

back on topic;

It's even better to not use a space saver, but a legit wheel(probably not too easy with 11" rims ;D)

[Guest]

I thought putting the fuse in makes it fwd or does it lock the center diff as well?
