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.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
