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 :)

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
