trying to help out my brother with his car. i dont know much about cars really, but i think im pretty good with trouble shooting.

my brother has a 91 cefiro attesa cruising. his awd light has been coming on, and has been happening for a while. he said everyone he asked couldnt explain it and didnt know where to start looking for a solution, so i got a bit interested.

he has recently put a r32 gtr gearbox in the car, and when we had the car in bits, i noticed the attesa resioiver was a bit low. topped that up, but i have read that "when people change clutches they often forget to bleed the attesa lines" or something similar. this has not been done yet, but the problem was also happening before when the car was still auto.

and from what i have read, i found to check the light flashing on the rear parcel shelf. i didnt see it, but i told him that next time the light comes on, dont turn off the car and count the flashes.

he says it was 18, a puase, then 18 more, so im assuming he got it down right.

then this link says 18 ETS pressure switch or circuit

but i dont know where to go next to track down the problem.

what can i do next? let me know if you need any more information.

wow.. never knew there were ceffies with ATTESSA..

I think I found my new porn!

Was it a personal import?

is 'cefiro attesa cruising' the model name?

thats just sex!

actually, not sure if it was a personal import. he just baught it off some guy. i dont know the details

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cefiro and see attesa cruising.

we just went for another drive, but this time we were getting error code "1" which is right front wheel sensor.

this happened multiple times, probably 4 times. we didnt get 18 again.

doesn anyone know exactly where the sensor is located? is it easy to just like unplug, clean in plug it back in? is it easy to tell if it is damaged?

and that, and im not entirely sure my brother counted the 18 correctly. but i saw the 1 error code more than once.

woulda been kinda funny for the pedestrians, car pulls over, two guys get out and open the boot and jump in, they probably thought wtf, haha

Sorry I can't be much help with your questions,

But how do you get ATTESSA to run diagnostics?

when the light comes on on the dash (AWD) the box in the rear parcel shelf flashes a sequence, which gives the error code.

oh, a major thing i forgot to say...... THIS DOESNT HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME.

sometimes he can drive and it will be working normally the whole time, other times he moves the car 10 metres and the light comes on.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
