Best way to dyno G37x
Might be a stupid question but wondering if its better to dyno and tune the G37x (AWD) by pulling the awd fuse and just enabling the rwd for the dyno or actually using a AWD dyno and getting AWHP numbers. Also any tips or advice to tell the tuner on the dyno to get better numbers?

I read that as well but none of it is supported and there's no evidence supporting any of those statements. Until I see that, I'm going with what the manufacturer states. Maybe when it's in 'snow' mode it makes that split? I don't know - again, I'd need to see some sort of evidence.

I found a review of a 2004 G35 that states all this, but Infiniti sure doesn't make info about the AWD system easy to find. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/infi...infiniti-g35x/

The X uses the ATTESA E-TS (First one on the list), from that paragraph...
'Drive to the rear wheels is constant via a tailshaft and rear differential, but drive to the front wheels is more complex by utilizing a transfer case on the rear of the transmission'
I want to draw attention to the word 'constant'. Having those two sources I believe it's safe to say, the G37x is 100% RWD until slip is detected. There is no evidence out there, that I've seen, that contradicts that besides internet rumors and water cooler talk.
We have the same AWD set-up as the R32 and R33 so I guess we have that going for us...

From a standing start, the G35x has a 25/75 front/rear torque split, but will immediately shift to 50/50 if the system senses wheel slip. Once the G35x is cruising, it shifts back to full-time rear drive to improve fuel economy. And fun. The G35x also features a Snow Mode, which locks the system (via a button on the center console) into a 50/50 split and reduces throttle sensitivity.

Is this a debate about if you can put a AWD G on a RWD dyno?
Do what he said. It sucks, but it's the truth. If you really want to roll the dice on how others thinks, reads, or believes the AWD system on our car works when you are about to strap your baby down and red-line it then I have some business propositions for you. I know when I flushed my tranny, all four wheels were turning. I know when I dynoed my car all four wheels were putting down power. I know I would never put an AWD car on a RWD dyno and risk any type of accident. But, those are all my opinions. You need to figure out what you would like to do then find a shop that will also comply. I doubt you will find a shop that will put your car on a RWD dyno without disconnecting the front shaft. Even if you electronically disable the ETS unit I do not know if I would roll those dice; again, my opinion.
I know Z1 here in GA will drop the front shaft to do a dyno.
Also, snow mode does more than throttle limit below 12mph (which it does do that, and pretty well). What's it do? No clue, but I can be doing 70 down the HWY and click that button and feel the torque split change for a second.
