Hey guys I have a R32 GTS4.

Recently the ATESSA is playing up and ive already checked the fluid levels. When i'm cruising at say 100 down the freeway it's trying to transfer torque to the front wheels when it should all obviously be going to the back. You can feel the transfer case put some up at the front then stop and try again, meanwhile my front torque guage is getting anywhere up to 15kg's. I'm wondering what the hell is wrong with it? I have been told briefly about the attessa computer flashin up codes to let you know whats wrong, however i'm not hugely familliar with this? Also that if the ATTESSA senses it's stuffing up it is supposed to divert all power to the rear wheels as it's a safety issue and buggers your transfer case, but mine isn't doing that when ive had the fuse in. I think a possible problem is the G-meter is playing up, but i just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this at all in their R32 GTR/GTS4? If so any help would be VERY much appreciated!

Cheers guys :D

^ Had these exact symptoms when i had new ever-so-slightly larger rolling diameter tyres put on the back.

The attessa fault codes are easy to read, the led on the unit in the boot flashes a certain amount of times for the fault code(s) with a pause in between each fault. Just search on here for the code listing.

make sure all the wheels/tyres are exactly the same size.I had this problem in a GTS4 I had.It would pick up a small vibration and torque guage would start flickering slightly.Standard wheels back on problem solved

Hey cheers guys!

Yeah a few weeks ago I had my fronts changed (same tyres as before) but obviously they have more tread than the ones at the rear. And considering my rears are now due for a change, it seems a new set on the back should resolve the problem. I'l change them out the end of this week and see what happens. Still has been fun driving around in RWD for a few weeks, haha.

Take it easy

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
