It's a big fuse, when you pull it you also remove the center diff you just have to work out a lot to remove it

And in Hong Kong, a car worth that much has about a 100% registration tax... the boy racer that crashed it must have a really rich dad.

Previous model gtrs had a fuse that would disengage the ATTESA four wheel control so it could be towed without being flatbedded.

When my subaru got wrecked they towed it on 2 wheels. I thpught for sure it would do damage but they only went a mile. Carlson subaru told my husband that it can go up to 5 miles without a problem.

I would NEVER let them tow my car on two wheels, but that's just me. As Pete said, you can't disconnect the rear drive shaft in a 5mt. It's slightly less of an issue with an Auto but I'd still never do it.
