I know infinitis can be switched off by pulling the fuse from the AWD system.

Better yet, on rear wheel drive you can switch to all wheel drive in a pinch.

I've read that the XI goes to 100% RWD above a certain speed, like 70 MPH. Have not verified this myself. So it could be a simple software command.

OMG pull fuse 26 (5amps) and you're in business. Although the windshield wipers were going crazy, it was a 100% RWD. Created a nice little smoke show with the RFTs.
Thanks mr. p-j. Reminds me of how much I miss my G37s |

Easily spins the rear with a little left foot braking in second gear! (lotsa fun) But the best part was the unexpected bonus when i put the fuse back in. Im not going to tell anyone yet, to avoid the placebo effect. Go try it, and i will tell you what I noticed in a couple days. Don't worry; no warning lights stay on, the wipers return to their normal operation. It was a very subtle improvement I noticed. So get out there! If it is raining your wipers will remain on and it will be super easy to verify RWD. |

I wonder though, if you might damage the clutch packs or other parts in the driveline by significantly changing the way the power goes through it -- and then stressing it?
