Hey all,

Im currently having troubles with my 1989 R32 GTR,

Problem: the car only runs in RWD mode instead of AWD,

The car has been like this since iv had it (iv been focused on other things)

Im not familiar with the AWD System yet, but as far as i know the AWD light should be off when AWD is working fine?

with mine the light stays on (it may go off sometimes but only for a second)

what i have tried so far is checking the fuse (thats about all i know), also when i start the GTR up with the AWD fuse out..the light is on..so while the car is still running i put the fuse back in and the light then goes out and i can hear a buzzing sound then it stops and the light comes back on.

any help would be tops. thanks,

Im missing half the reason i brought a GTR, As much fun as it is in RWD mode trying to launch it :laugh:

Have you checked the ATTESA (4WD) computer for errors? On the R32 it's under the rear parcel shelf, switch on the ignition and have someone look for the LED on the ATTESA ECU for flashing lights.

Look at the following thread for the codes:

..and this thread shows you how to read the codes, and a flowchart for some steps:

Check the ATTESSA fluid levels...its behind the drivers side trim in the boot. Also make sure the systems bled properly.

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
