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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
