For the love of god - i can not get this thing to work - can any one in the WORLD help me. Some one who has been there done that or at least knows of some one that has?

Willing to pay for info!! :(

what exactly is the problem?

Brad, took you all of two minutes :)

exXU1, Dave is in Qld and won't be back this year. Have you checked the fault codes?

This is good guys- making a little more sence .

This is how i have it set up--- ABS out - EMS in place and car tuned.Hicas gone.

All other sensors - speed- Attessa computor , G sensor all in place .

. need to know where we go from here /

Have had a chap - auto sparky have a look and he is simply LOST.

Hasnt chopped any thing.

I need Dave or the likes to provide an in depth solution if possible - have sent a PM to him but as mentioned- he is away.

Thank you for the search and efforts - please keep it comming. This car is not a N1- just a GTR 32 getting ready for drag situation- 26/30 - currently 600 attw @19 psi - getting preped for the main tune - but would like in 4wd.

cheers lads :P

We still don't know what the problem actually is. I'm guessing that you don't have AWD after replacing the ECU and removing ABS.

If so, then the question needs to be asked - how will ATTESSA know when you have wheel slip? I'm pretty certain it uses the ABS wheel sensors.

The other input it needs is a signal from the TPS. Wolf EMS has a "black box" unit to perform that function.

well, on the r34 gtt's the abs is controlled by a differant box independent of the ecu. so for the r32 may be the same

its been a while so ill have to check the shop manual but i assume the abs and attesa have their own ecu, and shouldnt be directly affected by your ems.

need more info - you dont have abs? but want attesa?

you may need the abs ecu to be running properly for the attesa to work. maybe plug in a dummy load to make the abs ecu think the abs unit i acutallly plugged in.

Fellas ,

i do have a complete manual including all schematics.

The fault codes are as follows.--- Flashing on the Atessa computor under the parcel shelf in the boot - red flash -- 8 then 19 then 21. So -- who knows where to go from there ?.

I truly believe that there must be some one out there that has been thru this and has the answers, its simply exceedingly expensive to engage an auto elec, i am resonably competent as i am a refri tech - but certianly need some guidence.

ok

error code 8 is ABS Motor, Motor Relay or Curcuit

error code 19 is ETS Motor, Motor Relay or Curcuit

error code 20 is ETS solenoid or curcuit

the attesa stuff starts on CH-57 (manual) or page 336 (acrobat) in the service manual

i believe you NEED the ABS sensors for attesa to work (as it uses them to detect wheelspin)

Edit: Flowcharts from manual dunno if it will help

Dave,

Looking at pages ch-66 and ch-259 ets and abs section schematics, It would appear that the ets controller commands the abs unit.

There are a couple of inputs from the abs module that the ets controller is looking for..

I'll have to check on my ets module to see which inputs and what logic levels you need to get it up and running, but from first impressions pin 11 (link off abs motor in) on the ets needs to get linked with pin 1 (ign). Unsure about pin 5 and pin 7, depending on wether it needs an input on those or just switched to earth....

Anyone else have an opinion?

Good luck.

James.

ps. Looking at the pages i said, the wheel sensors go straight to the ets controller.. same as what I can gather from the harness scematics fig1 c1, and fig5 w3.

well, the attessa computer has three wries going to/from the ecu. in another thread we were discussing which sensors atessa uses. im 100% sure attessa reads the abs wheel sensors (the attesa computer does after all controll the abs too).

are the wheel sensors plugged in? what have been removed from the abs?

the main question here is..

was it working properly before the ems went in?

(apart from the usual problem of not continuing the tps.)

you need to connect pin 56 to pin 38. ie cut the wire at pin 56 and splice it into pin 38,wich is the tps signal.

when youve done that you need to adjust the tps so that with the car running it sees 0.4v with the tps closed.

:)

OK - you were correct - the electrical connectors to the pump its self were disconnected- Erroe codes now whilst running are ---8 and 21 flashes?

Where do you recommend i go from here - follow the advice above or different - be nice as i am trying my best here --Ha Ha - explain like to an idiot if you wish?

from the sounds of it.

theres some shit unplugged. like the attessa relay next to the fuel pump relay.

or the motor its self.

(code 19)

no abs hooked up WONT MATER.

it will still work fine. just will be flashing the code 8.

Yep. I agree with this. What I said before was just for the abs error on the ets controller. Nothing to do with the 4wd. Hope that I didn't confuse anyone.

I can't see any reason how having the abs unit disconnected would stop the 4wd from working unless it either needed a clean error code listing, or something in the ets side was borked.

21 is what T04GTR is saying about the tps signal not getting to the ets controller. page ch74 for the pins, and testing method.

James.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
