I've recently bled the system.

starting at the pump above the rear diff untill fluid came out, closing that and then moving onto the bleed nipple at the transfer case. on and of and on and off untill i had the right levels in the res and untill no air came out. which not much did anyway.

now when driving/under slight acceleration there is always about 1-3kg m or whatever the reading is. it will only go to 0 when i back off completly

is this how the system is ment to work? it feels a bit better than before. and alot more responsive..

:/

i get about that under medium accel (in a straight line)

slight (just on pedal) accel i get 0 (in a straight line)

cornering tends to bring it back down to 0 until i lose traction (in rear)

hope that explains it a little

ahh thanks. it appears i have bled it alrite then!

slight on pedal i am at around 3 in straight line

:P

ahh, i just got new wheels. same size front/back but different tyres. the rears are a bit worn!

Thats your problem. Try switching the fronts to the rear and vice versa. Should resolve your issue.

Cheers,

Dan :P

I found the exact same thing when I swapped out the rear tyres last wk- as little as 3mm less rear diameter is enough to trigger the ATESSA. Like Angus I'm showing around 1-3-5Kg/m on normal driving & the car responds fantastically when thrown aggressively into corners etc but I am concerned as to what this is doing to the 4WD clutches in the transfer case.

Does anyone have definite knowledge on whether this is damaging or not??

this is exactly my concern and question!

how good and how responive is the system now!! i'm really enjoing driving the car! this is going from using A048's all the time so i am noticing how the system actually works!

worn tyres that affect rolling diameter will indeed affect attessa , 3-5 mm is enough to cause problems

but all gtrs will throw some torque to the fronts under hard straight line acceleration

if it happens under slight acceleration/cruising then your rolling diameter is the 1st thing to look at

Yeah we know WHY it's doing it, we're both concerned as to what the consequences are.

It really has transformed the way the car drives, & def in a good way but if it's going to be at the expense of the transfer-case clutches then it's obviously not such a good thing.....

yeah rolling diameter :D.....i dont know if it was the cause of a seal on my front diff (right side)to go as the result of having slightly smaller rolling diameter tyre on the rear, and having the above mentioned symptoms??? A bit of a s#^$ to do when done at home on stands. I do have one of the controllers from Duncan..so

does anyone know if having the controller switched to constant RWD only all the time when driving, would it affect anything???I know GTR run in RWD until attessa detects wheel spin in the rear.

But my logic was if i didnt have the attessa working (constant RWD) the leak in the diff wouldnt be as bad, until i got the seal done.

Would anyone else be having the same problem??

I can't see how running in RWD only will help. The power transfer is done at the gearbox & the drive shafts, prop shaft & front diff centre are always rotating when the vehicle is motion, whether there is torque being put to them or not

As for R32/33 transfer cases, I believe they are the same animal but the ACTIVATION is different between the two. The ATESSA computer in the R33 also processes information 4x faster & the combination of the two is why the R32 is in most cases a more "tail-happy" car to drive compared to 33's & 34's.

I'm going to pull the fuse untill further notice about this! but i am loving how the car is driving at the moment.

i've tried to use my field torque controler with knobs turned all the way to rear as possible but it has no effect.

Wow, this is the first time i've ever driven the car without semi's and the system disabled.

4th gear, 80km/h (freeway onramp) around 3000 rpm. plant foot. wait till about 4000ish and i get some serious wheel spin at around 90-100kmh hahaha

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
