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.

i need 3 more names before i do another batch

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.

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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
