I'm thinking maybe a problem with a hydraulic accumulator?

There's bound to be one in the system.

If it has lost its charge, the pump will cycle repeatedly to charge the system with pressure.

If it keeps leaking down, the pump cycling on all the time may fault the system.

Just a thought.

youre right, the transfer case is only clutches and a chain drive.

the pump is where we have already mentioned. if the pump is gone, its not a cheap exercise. however it might be something easy like the attesa ECU or a relay etc.

you can hear the pump start when you start the engine. if you dont, then its something related to that.

have you checked the fluid level in the boot??

Well ill put it this way - if i jam my foot on the gas it hooks up and goes but then it feels like it slips back to RWD but i could be wrong as i have never driven another.

I was thinking the Altessa computer or one of the relays near by but i would need to borrow someones working one to do that... any takers?

The electric motors next to the pump would be my next bet but again it would be a matter of borrowing someones to try or borrowing a spare.

Fluid levels are all good.

if youre prepared to give me a refundable deposit.

we can take this to PM.

also, dale is this the part youre talking about?

This may sound like a silly question but would the car still engage the front wheels if the pump was the problem?

not properly. it wouldnt be able to engage the clutches to tranfer the torque forward as there would be no fluid pressure.

maybe there isnt enough pressure in yours or maybe too much

as mentioned, might be air in the system

While being complied they bled the system multiple times, if i were to give it a crack in the drive way how would i go about it?

Also this would not explain why the gauge is non operational.

Mike.

apparently there is a plug next to the consult plug that runs the attesa pump so you can bleed it from all the points.

youll need a hoist and someone in the car to connect it up

as for the gauge, maybe it just doesnt work?

If anyone has any pointers on how to bleed the altessa on an M35 please feel free to post it up here, that way I can have a crack on the weekend.

I'm hoping the gauge problem is the same as the 4WD light but you are right, it may just not work.

Just to touch on the pump, can anyone tell me if the pump cycles upon start up the same as a GTR? my car has been at Morpowa this morning and as the car is a bit obscure he was unsure if the pump cycles or not as this one did not.

Cheers.

Yep, cycles to build pressure, then stops. That's why I was on about an accumulator; it has all the hallmarks of that kind of issue.

I don't know where it would be; I've never even pulled the cover off mine. But if there is one, it will be a steel canister after the pump, normally with a check valve between the two.

Excuse my ignorance but if it was this 'accumulator' why would it stop the pump from cycling if it is after the pump its self?

Simon @ Morpowa is on the hunt for more of an electrical fault but i will advise him of this as anything would help at this stage, just waiting for a wiring diagram before we go round 2 otherwise we will be wasting time.

He found a relay at the front of the car near the air cleaner that has something to do with the Altessa that seems to not be gettin power, we are also looking into this but with out the wiring diagram its quite slow.

It would only be this if it were running constantly, or cycling on & off rapidly & then going into fault. I was under the impression the pump was actually running; if it's not , you're on the right track looking for an electrical fault.

Best of luck, wasn't my intention to lead you in the wrong direction.

That's cool Dale, the more things it isn't the closer we get to what it is, but it is looking very electrical ATM, just need some parts to be able to swap and check.

Cheers, Mike.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • 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
