ok guys so just had an Autronic SM4 fitted in my 32 GTR and have found 4wd light is on and always in RWD mode, (dont get me wrong this is fun but not why i wanted a GTR)

so i have checked the attessa computer and i am getting 21 flashes which if im correct is the throttle sensor or circuit.

Can anyone tell me if this is a mechanical fix problem or is it somthing in the autronic??

thanks you Lee

I had the same drama when I fitted a Wolf to my GTS4. The (factory) ECU passes a throttle signal through to the ATTESSA computer.

Advanced Engine Management (makers of Wolf) have a "black box" solution. Maybe Autronic has something similar.

hey guys :)

ets: 4wd control unit right?

ems: engine management/control system?

ok ok im unsure about all the uhm, technical terms but hope you get it anyways... :P

Have installed a new ems in a friends r32gtr. Engine runs fine but we havent worked out all details in the atessa vs ems. Vill splice the tps signal(?) back to the ets, but what about the rpm signals that schematics show goes from ems to ets? Are they relevant for getting 4wd working or just tells ets that engine is running and 4wd can be engaged. Problem with this is dont know what sort of signal the ets wants when recognizing engine rpm, or maybe a positive 5v feed is enough to just say, hey engine running... with a rpm based signal it gets more tricky since we dont know what frequency it likes to listen to...

well just some of my projects right now trying to get this r32 sliding in the snow here with all 4 wheels spinning like crazy...

later on my r33 gtr will get the same treatment, would that be about the same as this? (4wd stuff vs new ems)

so i will try to get back with some info on this later...

ok so this works fine. just plug in tps signal to ets and its back in 4wd! :D

(might need a grounding wire also shown in eccs section in manual)

might need a slight recalibration on tps to get it just right... (adjust tps unit postition on throttle bracket)

dont know if i missed something, but rpm signal to ets seems to have no effect on anything important... guess ill just skip it for now.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
