Its no help to you but I've just fixed a 16 flash problem.

16 flashes means lateral g-sensor. $1800 new from Nissan, $150 from SSS. Put it in, wasn't expecting it to be be fixed, but it was.

The more problems I solve with my car the more respect I have for our fantastic 1989 (although mine is a '93) car with great diagnostics and through workshop manual.

Trust the diagnostics and manual.

When do these flashes occur for diags? is it just the acc on or engine on?

Does the 4WD light flash 'x' amount of times and then start again after a small pause or something?

Mine isn't flashing, it would just be good to know. And where do you get the fault codes?

I have r33 gts4

1. i cannot find this ecu thingy in my car to find the error code (My 4wd and abs is on all the time), does workshops have these little computer thing which you can plug to your car to see what errors they have?

while wer at it, anyone got a solution to 22 flashes (oil level sensor and circuit)

Check your clutch/brake fluid level under the bonnet and your power steering level aswell - check your attesa system oil level aswell. that should fix it, if not, you need a new switch (oil sensor)

Everyone else, i found these links on a UK GTR forum...

There is heaps of info on this site if you do a search.

Hope this helps

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
