4wd Problems With 32 Gtr

[Daz]

hi all I am having problems with my 32 gtr. I bought it off a guy. and it is running in only rwd mode. the 4wd, hicass and abs lights are lit up on the dash I have been told that it is a electrical problem. has any one had this problem before or similar and can help me find the problem. the guy i bought it off is a drifter so may be he has cut a wire some where but i cant get in contact with him

any help will be appreciated

4WD, HICAS and ABS....Yeah that sounds like an electric problem (R32 HICAS is hydrolic). If this 'drifter guy' has done something to perform a dodgy removal of the HICAS system then that will cause a problem with the power steering pump I believe.

Ok, if you do a search you will easily find the reason its in RWD

But, ill save you the bother.

If you bought it from a drifter, he wouldve been sliding it around in RWD, and to turn RWD on there's 2 fuses that can do this.

One is in the main fuse box in the engine bay, its marked "4WD" and the fuse is in a green plastic thing

The second is in the fuse box where your right knee is as you sit in the drivers seat, its the top row, far left from memory, also marked 4WD. Check they're both in place before doing anything else.

If they arent, find them (one or the other as the case may be) then put them in, then RESTART the car - check the dash and you should be right

Check and make sure the ATTESA computer is still actually in place and plugged in under the rear parcel shelf, too.

any news? my hicas is fine but attesa/abs are not. fuses seem fine but my fuse box has no 75a main fuse...

also check both the PS fluid level and the ATTESA fluid level, and check the switch in the boot is switched to on.

check the g sensor (its hidden inside the centre console ) thats whats gone with mine so it only runs in 2wd ya can get it checked with anyone that has the nissan consult

[sigsputnik]

aha so consult can diagnose attesa problems?

[blind_elk]

It wasn't clear from your first post - it's ALWAYS been like this?

Are the tyres and rims ALL the same?

Have you checked the ATTESSA reservoir?
