Hi all,

After reading most of your nice advices about the 4wd check light problems in the gtr32s to help to solve mine (gtr34 v-spec), unlucky nothing seems nere. Here is the problem that I've been noticing:

Usuallly, when it's cool (ambient temperature/left overnight), it ocurred less often. Sometimes, just started the engine for awhile, the 4WD and A-LSD check light came on at the same time either on stationay (while idling) or rolling on a constant speed. Tried to turn the engine off/on, the check lights went off and came back on after awhile. How come, these two check lights came on together??

I've checked the fuses in the egine bay + driver's kick panel, fluid level, the relay to the fluid pump motor. They are all fine. One thing I haven't checked is the pump motor cause I wasn't sure how to.

I had an advice that, have a ATTESA computer diagnostic test, but I'd love to sort the problem out with your advices if it's possible before bring the car to a mechanic.

So please advice me how to solve this problem, THANKS GUYS !!!

well I've not had a look at the 34 computer, have a look at it (in the boot under the parcel shelf). when the 4wd light is on there will be an LED flashign a code number. Check the code number to the list of error messages in the 32 GTR workshop manual.

All on the assumption it works the same as a 32, my guess is the computer will still show error codes to help with problems like this.

All the other solutions like fluid, bleeding etc won't really help if the 4wd light is on. Most likely cause is a poor earth / bad voltage somewhere for intermittent problems like this.

Thanks Duncan,

I think you're right about the wirings. Yesterday, when it was in good condition, I tried to shake the wire loom near the pump => the check light poped up => turn off the engine => shake again => turn on => check light was gone. So, very high chance it's somewhere there. I'll strip it down on the weekend and I'll update to you later.

Cheers!!!

Hey guys !!

I've found where the intermittant bastard is !!! The water and corrosion contaminated on the connector of the fluid pump side. The voltage got leaked and shorted intermittantly caused the 4wd and

a-lsd check light came up. Just disassemble the connectors to clean the corrosion => DONE => THE GOZILLA IS HEALTHY AGAIN !!!

CHEERS!!!

you don't really want to know....there are orange and grey connectors on top of the attessa pump. which is on top of the diff. don't think you will have much luck getting to it without dropping the subframe.

I found the pump is just under the right rear of the car i clean and replug it. the light not come up for 15kms so far. so maybe fixed.

sorry not sure how long it would take a workshop with a hoist.....would take me an hour to drop the subframe and 1/2 to raise it again but that has been on and off a few times.

definately a job to get someone else to do :D

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
