Atessa Playing Up?!?

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

Rhys.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
