Stupid question time, maybe not perhaps.
The local Autobarn is having a dyno day in October with (of course) a 2WD dyno.
Now.... I have guys at work with Sylvias and skylines and the usual boy racer shit.
I have seen off their sr20 and RB20's, but they want a dyno shootout. Obviously can't compare AWD dyno figures with 2WD figures.
Is there a simple and importantly reversible way of going 2WD for a dyno run?
Cheers guys.

Yes, but it requires you to open your gearbox case and remove the viscous coupling and replace it with a locking spline. Can be done while on the car. About a 1 to 2 hour job.

You then need to remove the transfer case and you'll be fwd.

Or leave the transfer, remove the front axles and plug up the holes with cups only.

I have one of those couplings if you'd like to borrow it

[White Knight]

Cheers Barry and Ian (for the offer).
I might go the RWD route. Removing the front driveshafts is a piece of cake (had the gearbox out sooooo many times in the past. At least I know what I am doing with that.
Will the rear diff and driveshafts cope for the runs? I imagine being under a constant load they should be ok, ie they wont be copping a dump clutch or be hopping around. Just driver there, 2 runs and drive home.
Where to purchase cups from? Meek?

[bazeng]

You can use your cups from your shafts. Just remove the boot and joint.

Keep in mind you will still need to lock your viscous via the viscous coupling eliminator (collar that ian has)

Copy that Barry, I really didn't want to mess with the gearbox but alas I guess I have to regardless hey. Thanks matey.
Ian, I will be in touch if I do this buddy. PM through messenger.
Cheers guys. Much appreciated.

[White Knight]

Barry. I just realised that you said 1-2hour job. Is that "Bazeng time"? Because if it is, that would mean around 5 days work for an average man. Lol

[evo-gsr]

No thats actual time. Its pretty easy Ian..just involves around 8 bolts and a circlip to be removed.

[White Knight]

That's 4-5 days for me then... ha ha ha.

[bazeng]

Haha. The hardest part is honestly removing the wheel and putting the new oil back in when resealed. The job itself if very simple.

Just make sure you support the trans so the inner casings don't split the seal from the bolts being removed.

Understood mate, I have a spare gearbox here that I have pulled the end cover off before and know what your talking about there. Thanks for the advice Baz.
