What do you mean the front differential is not working? :)

I just got my car back after a 5 month Rebuild, I used to drive it in RWD alot of the time. We put the fuse back in the 4WD and it doesnt work?

Any ideas as to why?

Is the 4WD light on the dash on?

Is there any fluid in the reservoir in the boot?

Is the front driveshaft in?

Did they remove the gearbox from the car during the rebuild?

If so did they bleed the system after refitting the gearbox?

Yes, the 4WD light is on, there is fluid in the boot. Im unsure about the front drive shaft though. They did remove the gearbox from the car during the rebuild, But again unsure if they bled the system after refitting the gearbox.

Thanks foryour help mate.

Have a look under the car to see if the front shaft is in.

Find out if the system is bled.

If not have it bled properly as per Service Manual.

If those dont work then get hold of a GTR Service Manual or Google it up, start the car, and if the 4WD light is lit, stick your head in the boot and look to see what the small LED is doing on the 4WD computer.

If the 4WD light on the dash is on, the LED will flash certain sequences to give a number (aka fault/error code), once you know the number cross-check with the manual and thats the problem (basically).

i has the same prob as u. is yur RPM working? did u just have a boost controller installed? is there power in the fuse box, where the fuse is? we just did a whole day of troubleshooting. haha.. found out it was due to the tacho (some wireing prob). finally got to dyno it. haha

My RPM is working, I did just have another boost controller installed yes, there is power in the fuse box. So it was a wiring fault or installation error?

i agree with ronin. check the number of flashes, and look at the manual. or u might want to check the wireing of the boost controller to the ecu. coz the source to my prob was just some minor wireing which accedentally got disconnected.

check the fault code on the 4WD computer.

get the manual, match the number of light flashes.

it will tell you what is stuffed.

hi have sim trouble but min is i had a switch put in 4/to 2 drive melted the fuise bugger will swop the lot out of my other gtr .be 4 that leeking pipe on gear box had the lightes 4wd/abbes onthere is 5 pontes to bleed on the sistom no spell 4 s..it sorry good luke dave

Can't help but attempt to translate, I'll just add some imagination to the random fragment of text above...

"I had the same problem, with a switch that was put in "

4/to 2 drive melted the fuise bugger will swop the lot out of my other gtr

" to convert my GTR to RWD, I'm rich so I have 2 GTR's", just kidding about that last part :laugh:

.be 4 that leeking pipe on gear box had the lightes 4wd/abbes onthere is 5 pontes to bleed on the sistom no spell 4"

"I had a leaking pipe near the gearbox, probably the transfer case pipe, had to bleed the system in 4 points(? what the?)"

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
