Interesting.... thanks for the update....

yes i agree thanks for the update as my problem seems exactly like yours. and having had a front accedent the abs sensors playing up make perfect sense (and what all the mechanics and auto electrician's keep guessing). is your diagnostic fault code still coming up as the pressure switch though?

I must admit though that ABS sensors would make even more sense if:

a) 'pressure switch (77)' wasn't being reported in the ATTESA diagnostic

b) the ABS light stays on when you start the car (indicating an ABS fault), because a faulty ABS sensor should trip an ABS fault (there are plenty of failsafes for that)

no warning lights..... dont know about the codes didnt check em out

dropped the car off today and the guys at tenagah motorsport had rung them and told them all about it.. so i had to say nothing but "send the bill to dvg maddington" lol

and they said i will definatly have it back by friday and will tell me evrything they find.. so i can put it up here.

cool... still hoping we might find out what that infernal clicking is all about :) surely the money is on the pressure switch... has to be the pressure switch... :thumbsup:

no abs light just 4wd light but atessa and the abs sytem use the same sensors and are heavily linked together(and code 77)

That's true I guess, although ABS is 'mission critical', and any sensor error should cause the ABS light to come on...? Sorry what do you mean about the code 77 - does that relate to ABS too? or you mean you are getting code 77?

ok some one help.....

it is showing a 73, 74 code which is the ET-s/Lsd actuator motor... but there are no waring lights........

they thought it was the pressure switch or the asb sensors but it isnt..

i have rung heaps of places and they dont seem to know...

any ideas??

Hmm that sounds like the ATTESA pump? Duncan, anybody else have a better idea?

I'm no auto electrician, but I'd start with the relay and check that it's actually switching power at its output, then check that that output appears at the ATTESA pump harness. If no power to the ATTESA pump, faulty relay (or wiring/earth connection). If power at the ATTESA pump... well... could be expensive (could be the pump itself).

But I think playing swapsies with the relay is the first point of call (because it's cheap if a volunteer is available and should give a result very quickly), and definitely reset the ATTESA fault codes (short some pins - details here somewhere, search for 'attesa diagnostic').

nope they siad it definatly isnt the realy

i dont care what it costs to fix it cause it is under wattanty... but i have really had enough waiting....

they say the 4wd all works fine...

Well if you have them replace the whole ATTESA pump assembly (of which I am pretty sure the pressure switch is integral), you might fix it :)

here gos they are replacing the es-t/lsd actuator motor.... it sits on top of the rear diff...

and costs about $1,100.. plus fitting.... so an expensive exercise.. but warranty is paying...

Cool :happy: You actually managed to convince them to do it... that's gotta fix it...

  • 2 weeks later...

ok latest update....lol

not the actuator motor :bunny: has been now also been to northside nissan.. they knew nothing ....

so took it to c-red... it looks like it is the ecu for the attesa syatem... goes back on the 9th of june to have an ecu from a rear half cut to see if that fixes it.. hope it does.. will keep you posted guys.. i just want my car fixed im so over it..

Wow, that's a lot of stuff you're having replaced :blink:

But this is really invaluable stuff for some of us other stag' owners... do I understand right that you have had the whole attesa system replaced and that hasn't fixed it? that rules out a lot of things.... some of which are cheap and I was betting on to fix my problem :D thanks for posting your progress, I'm interested to see where this leads... and hoping that you find a solution to make your stag smoooth and quiet like it should be :D

hi,

I`ve got the same problem on my ENR33. e-ts relay clicking like mad in boot while hot, silent when i start the car in the morning. No warning lights...

I am afraid that it is e-ts control unit that is faulty :ermm:. There was an issue with it last summer -- damn guys who changed the film on the rear window pour some water on the e-ts unit :happy:.

messanic, hope you will your problem and explain us how to do it.

My Attessa plays up a bit from cold (its engaged when I haven't selected it but it comes right when the car has warmed up) so I thought i would change the fluid. I went to the Nissan dealer and asked if they had a special fluid for the Atessa or could I use ATF (because I got a 20L Fuchs Titan ATF 4000 semi-synthetic to change mtygearbox oil) but they said no its a special Nissan fluid the same as the nissan power steering fluid. I don't necessarily believe them so I will go to another Nissan Dealer and ask them the same question. Otherwise I will just bleed the system. Has anyone done this and noticed any difference?

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 馃槃 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 馃槃 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 馃槃 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
