There is a warning that flashes on my dash right beside the handbrake light and it looks like a "chevrolet" badge with wavey lines or steam coming off it. I have just recently had a replacement auto fitted and a bit of hyd fluid was lost from the back of the auto from a resevoir. It is still within the Min-Max range, not sure if this has anything to do with it. Automatic shop (very reputable) did not know what it is. It looks like an oil pump for the variable 4WD system, does this have anything to do with it. Has a 3 core radiator fitted, is this the overheat light, shouldn't be hot. Any ideas what this is.

YEP, definetly number 12. I had to cut the temp sensor wire that comes out from under the mid floor to the second cat convertor. But that was a while ago. Should of seen the light since then. Thanks heaps for that info. Other than speaking Japlish, does anybody know what to do now.

I am gonna go out on a limb and suggest its the attessa pressure cylinder that you are talking about? The pump for it is actually located at the back above the rear diff. The fill pot for it is inside the cargo area on the drivers side behnd one of the natty little panels in the side. As with all auto fluids, this should be checked with the car warm, running and parked on level ground. Do a search for the actual fluid required or have a look in the DIY sticky at the top of the forum.

so maybe the O2 sensor is letting too much fuel in and causing it. It seems to be "heavier" again than it normally is. Like lucky to touch 300kms around town now just city driving. Used to get 350 - 400kms. So is this also measured at the o2 sensor aswell and whats the best replacement.

The transfer case pump uses Auto trans fluid and is filled in the resoviour in the boot, the transfer case itself also uses ATF and is filled through a filler on the rear of the gearbox.

I think the engine check light can come on in circumstances other than just cat too hot right? If you've cut the wire it can't be cat temps....better check that out maybe search outside stagea section for it.

Don't mean to hijack thread, but what warning is no.15? Mine came on everytime I got up to 160ish and released back to 100ish. Would stay on for anywhere between 5-15secs and then turn off. Also came on while stationary once.

You need to get a consult interface onto that to check the error codes... Most mechanics should have one and the stagea should be listed.

Thanks, will do so when I take it for major service/timing belt change very soon.

that "chevy" looking light is surpose to be a pic of a cat conveter over heating. on my friends cars a s13, a cefiro and a cellcier all had this light come on, they all shared a comon problem. Bloocked Catilitic Conveter's. you can take yours out and either replace it. Smash the middle out with a screwdriver (illigal. 5 thousand dollar fine, but only if you get caught) or you can tap it on the ground to lossen the dirt and blow it out with compressed air. and get somone to hook that wire back on could be shorting out and making the light come on

The wire you are talking about seems to be a capillary/mechanical setup, so there is no rejoining it seeing as though it has been cut at the "cat". The light seems to have stopped again, I think I need to replace the O2 sensor anyhoos. Not getting a reading off the wires at the plug, except for the 12 v power wire. If it is the cat that is blocked, seems funny that the wire would give me a reading, unless it was the 02 sensor signalling the dash light.

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
