Ok this is really hard to explain so bare with me , this is a head F**k and im getting really pisssed off with it atm , aside from the airbox lol

anyway here goes, ive had my car for about 4 mnths and when i got it home i put the fuse in and bled it and after that the 4wd has never worked 2 months ago i pulled down the transfer and found nothing (gearbox biulder of 4 yrs) wrong so i replaced a few bearings and reinstalled it . great lol still no 4wd . i have checked this infamous led you all talk about and mine has never flashed once , ive even checked if its blown LOL , i purchased a torque split controller just for shits and giggles and installed that . blah nothing , the pump pressurises on ingition on , ive bled it a million times, with that plug dissconntected and also bled the pump itself , Also used the multimeter to check the voltages of the plug according to the manual thing ,

Now heres the head f**k , ive had my car sitting in my shed for like 2 weeks and taken it out and the bloody thing is working perfectly , like it never had a problem , the tsc does everything its suppose to and all the garbage ,

what wanna know is what are the most common problems with these systems ? ie the G sensor or ?

can anyone offer some sort of explination coz im so sick of it lol im just worried itll cut out again !!

Are thier anyworkshops who know these systems in and out coz im at the point were i want somone else to tackle it , ,

any ideas boys and girl ?

well if the 4wd light on the dash is not on, and the led on the attessa computer is not flashing, then attessa thinks it is working OK. this means all your sensors, actuators etc etc all have outputs in the expected ranges.

intermittent problem the main reason I could think of would be earthing issues they can be a bit tricky to sort out.

The system is usually pretty fool proof.

Does the light come on when you turn the key on before starting the engine??

Does the tourqe guage still work when accelerating etc.

The are a few things that can cause the problem, a blocked pressure line to the actuator.

A crook actuator,

Worn out transfer case which you have elliminated already

Air in the system,

crook pump. Seen them run and make noise but produce no pressure. When your bleeding the system do you get a strong flow of fluid or a dribble??

Most of the sensors will put the light on if they are not working.

You need to work through the system and diagnosis it. If its working occasionally it may be a stuck actuator though

need to know the lights activities and what the guage does though

i had similair experiences with my a-lsd system

it was terrible for ages - i drained it flat out, ran daigs etc, over and over. drained it heaps, had a diff place pull apart the housing etc

all didnt help and was still toast. i ended up overfilling the resivour in the boot by more than half. left it for like 2 weeks and it worked prefectly after that

go figure

ok what is this acuator your talking about ? and yes it pumps very strong sprayes everywhere when no hose connect to the nipple .. this acuator sounds interesting as some hoses have been screwed with in the engin bay ,

and when i accelerate the gauge moves and i cant spin the rears in motion in the wet , as before it was all over the road,and the guage didnt move ,

keep the input coming i need more ideas to check ,.

cheers pete.

You said you put a fuse in when you first got the car home. Why was the fuse out in the first place? And is it still out?

Did you bleed the system properly after rebuilding the gearbox?

Are you sure the globe for the warning light isn't blown?

Anyway, seeing as it appears to be working now, what's the problem?

Pete, this sounds like the system is working fine.

Yes i know it seems fine now but the question is why ?

as for the post above , the fuse was out so some moron could do burnouts and yes i bled it properly started with the pump (gravity fed ) turned it (undid the plug in the kick panel) reopend the pump let it bleed more. then moved tho the transfer . blah blah ive set more than one of these up before after in stalling gearboxes, Mine is something else its stupid .

im thinking its a plug or acutator rusted as my car was from the snow apperently , im going to get some contact cleaner and have a bash at it LOL

cheers pete .

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      By Duncan · Posted

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
