So what makes you think the 4wd is not working then ??

The R32 will slide the back out when doing ..err... spirited driving .

If you are expecting it to handle like a WRX , ie. fairly neutral then you will be mistaken.

It will also spin the rear tyre a bit then the gauge should shoot up as the front engages on a savage launch.

If it is very slow to rise or only rises a bit , it may need bleeding or at worst the clutch packs may be gone in the transfer case.

Cheers

Ken

Jay, As Ken points out the GTR isn't a constant 4WD system, it's active, and transfers torque to the front wheel when the rear starts slipping. If in doubt take it to one of the import workshops and I'm sure they'll tell you if it's working ;)

ATTESSA is a reactive system, so it is only ever going to try & catch up with what you are doing.

It can be air in the system, but it also (Don't want to alarm you) can be due to wear in the ATTESSA clutch plates. When these gets tired the system still apportions torque (or tries to) by using the same clamping pressure as before, but it no longer works properly because the wet clutches slip more than they are supposed to.

Best bet is to get the system bled, then check it by a back to back test with a known good unit.

Thanks for the replys. I know that the gtr 4wd isn,t constent like a wrx but when i try to do a launch at 5000 rpm it just spins the back tires, also when the car gets full boost in second gear at 5000 rpm it spins the tires all the way to 7000rpm. I've noticed as i have been driving when it usally spins in second gear at 5000rpm it got full traction 4 times. So do you guy's think it the ATTESSA clutch plates?

It could be the clutch plates, or the system may need bleeding. Best to take it to a good workshop to get the system bled, if that doesn't work then you may need new clutch plates, but that won't be cheap.

How much do u think it may cost??

The two issues (Gazza's & gaygtr's) are diferent.

Gazza - yours sounds for all the world like an electronic problems - in which case the ATTESSA module under the parcel shelf should be blinking away trying to tell you what is wrong.

JayGT-R's is, like has been said, either a bleed issue in the attessa or worn clutch packs. Take it to someone who knows the systems & just as importantly knows what to expect from the ATTESSA system in terms of performance.

Yes how did u know?

The guy says he wasn,t aware of the problem.

get some pics up!!! this thing sounded like it had some gear on it. have you found out what turbos are down there?

i spoke to the owner for around half an hour on the phone cause i was going to drive down there to see it. i asked him about the faults on the car (to save me driving 3 hours and being pissed off) and the first thing he said that it was only running the rear wheels. he even said that he had got quotes from a workshop in bunbury to fix. wasnt aware? pfff no way!

seemed to be going for a good price too :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
