Hey guys, well i have a 1990 R32 GTS4 and at the moment the AWD light is on in the dash, and it might go away for a bit, but it comes back. Also my ABS light is constantly on, the one that looks like (!), and no the handbrake isnt up. I have also switched around the 30AMP fuses under the bonnet and it's not them. I'm thinking it could be something to do with a faulty sensor on one of the front wheels? Any suggestions or comments as to what could be wrong?

Cheers,

Rhys

I'm pretty sure the ABS warning light is ABS. That symbol is the handbrake light, but is also a "low brake fluid" warning light.

Check the fluid level in the reservoir located RH boot for the AWD problem.

Yeah i have checked the AWD fluid level in the boot and it's full so thats not it, and i will check the brake fluid level. I was thinking it could perhaps be air in the ATESSA system as i had a new clutch installed a while back, or again the sensors which i think would be most probable. Any more suggestions as to whats wrong would be sweet.

Cheers guys

like gazza said when the 4WD light is on check the ATTESA computer in the boot and see how many times the light is flashing. All the codes are in the r32 gtr workshop manual.

ABS light is always on when 4WD light is. If the ABS light is on without the 4WD light you are probably right it could be one of the wheel speed sensors on front hubs or rear half shafts. but the ATTESA computer error will show this as well

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
