I have a problem with the attessa sysytem on my r33 gtr, just like to know if anyone has had this prob before. When the attessa system is working in 4wd it locks up the rear diff when turning corners. (We have checked to see if the diff was locked ,but its a standard one.)

When we put the car into rear wheel drive we dont have any probs with the diff. (the way we did this is dissconnected the fuse out of the attessa system) . I was told the rear pump of the attessa system is pushing all the pressure to the rear diff ,which causes it to lock the rear diff.

Does anyone know a fix for this? or have any suggestion?

I assume it is a GTR Vspec.

Removing the fuse in a R33 does not completely disengage the 4wd.

What do you mean by in 4wd ?

They are normally 2 wheel drive and only 4 wd when accelerating briskly or drifting.

Sounds like the normal LSD action you get from a mechanical diff LSD .

Have you recently changed the diff oil or have you ever changed the diff oil ?

Cheers

advan replaced the standard diff with another standard diff, because they thought it could of been a locked diff. But what they found was the diff was actually a standard one. The attessa system is causing it to lock and making it a constant 4wd. Something in the system is telling it to lock the diffs full time. So what we have done is pulled the fuse out and now it operates perfect in rwd.

MA160802 - yepp, don't leave it in 2wd otherwise you'll run the risk of burning out the clutchpacks.

The R33 GTR's area a little different to the R32 GTR's. When you pull the fuse on a R33 GTR it will still transfer a small amount of torque to the front wheels. Best thing to do is disconnect the front drive shaft - but I wouldn't drive around like that !

How long have you had the car for?

I'd been looking to see if you've got a HKS ATTESSA controler in your car, or something simular.

You might be suprised to find a little after market electronic controler that they may have put on in Japan and never took off.

MA160802,

I don't know a great deal about the R33 models but the R32 GTR and GTS4 have a ETS control unit under the under the rear parcel shelf accessible from the boot, this control unit has a LED on it to display system fault codes but these codes only display on the unit if the 4WD light on the dash stays on during driving.

So if your 4WD light lights up on the dash while driving and if you find out the codes the R32 ones I have might be similar to the R33 and I might be able to tell you whats wrong.

Although the ABS goes through the same system so maybe the problem is related to the ABS system too. (ie. wheel speed sensor)

Just trying to help!

I had a similar problem in my GTS4 - turned out to be one of the connections onto the TPS wasn't made properly.

I had ridiculous symptoms like 35kg-m torque to the front wheels while reversing out the driveway!

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
