Uh, really it's going to save you a lot of money (or, better put, you'll gain money rather than lose it) if you just sell it and buy a gtst.

To properly CONVERT it to RWD, you'll just need to source gtst bits anyway.. Not worth it at all!

Edit: ok I see you said adjust, my bad. If you do mean temporarily, then it's simply a matter of removing a fuse (I don't know specifics), that's if its the same as a GTR, someone who knows more than me should be able to confirm this pretty easily.

my car came with a switch, which also came with a problem, i lost my 4wd altogether now. I bought 'Dirtgarage' switch, which i was told it would override the error but it didnt do shit. Would anyone have an idea of getting my 4wd back into action?

Cheers

check your fuses, check you have power going to the ets controller, if you have and it still doesn't work, check the flashing led on the ets controller and post back what the code is if you can't get a hold of a manual.

You would be wiser to check the fluid level in the reservoiur in the boot on the rhs. If that is ok you may need to bleed the system as well to get it working properly. That is assuming that the electronics are ok and you have checked the fuse under the hood is OK. It says on the cover which one.

Yea the fuse under the dash and hood is fine, id have to have a look at the comp tommorow. And the fluid in the reservoiur seems to be fine.

You see my confusion comes when i try put 4wd back on its active, but only for about 3secs max, then the 4wd light comes on.

Hopefully its nothing major and i could resolve it myself with your help which btw i appreciate alot, cheers fellas.

Lets assume the electronics are fine though, how would i bleed the system? Sorry newbie with hands on work, jus want to know that im doing the right thing before i go cause another problem.

Cheers,

Steve.

In there is a howto on bleeding attessa.

Make sure you check the fuse under the bonnet as well. The ~3sec delay is normal for the 4wd light to come on if there is a fault.

Fluid good, Bled properly, check fuses, check the led on the ets controller for diagnostic readout.

Well i just had a quick look at the fluid level and condition in the reservoiur, and it seems to be black with a tinge of pink at the top but not much...would that be my problem there? Before i go any further with the investigation.

Cheers,

Steve.

I had a look at the code on the ets controller and the red LED flashes 22 times in 1 sec period then stops and starts again. If i could please get a read out on what that means, be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve.

22 is ETS oil level switch or circuit.

You definately have enough fluid in the res?

Otherwise check the res level switch continuity.

If neither is the problem look at wiring harness or controller borked.

Well its just below max..but i will be bleeding it as soon as i can get another pair of hands to help me out and abit of time on my hands. Hopefully thatll solve my issue.

Thanks heaps heller44, uve been a great help. :laugh:

Cheers,

Steve.

i started bleeding it on the weekend, and it was working fine at the start, did it every 30 sec or so, but after about the 3rd attempt it wasnt sucking no more. Tryed everything, just didnt get going again.

Just a quick question, im bleeding the pump and re-filling the pump at the same time, is this correct? Because the fluid doesnt seem to be turning pink in the pump.

Cheers,

Steve.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm.

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
