I rebuild them myself so I have no idea who else can do them or what they charge.

We buy in the parts be it genuine or after market depending what they are.

There is really not much inside them, the most expensive parts are the clutch plates themselves. Ive never actually bought genuine ones though.

Id recommend replacing the multi chain if you have a decent ammount of grunt heading down it. I haven't had one break but have seen them stretch.

A grand to rebuild one would sound pretty reasonable to me. If it includes the chain its even better.

Second hand has worked for me in the past but they are really a kinder suprise and may not last very long anyways.

I've been quoted $1200 second hand fitted and that's as close to joy as I have been. The car still runs 4WD quite well in 99% of situations and the suspension is being fixed from its questionable set up (totally missing some vital arms in the rear that aid traction + some other thing) so I'll see how that goes. A $1k rebuild (if you could find them for that) I think just about any one with a R32 GTR should consider as the cars are getting on in age and kms.

I'm guessing all these checks would be the same for a GTS4 aswell? I put the fuse in and checked my 4WD on some wet grass and only the rears were spinning. The reservoir in the boot is sitting on max. I suppose next point of action would be to bleed the atezza and then stick it on a 4WD dyno?

just jacked up the rear and dropped the clutch, nothing happened, rears spun but no action from the front what-so-ever. I did notice that the Attessa reservoir in the boot was initially at the max line, and after I did this test the level was about 2cm below the low mark. I doubt filling upto max will make it work, but havent tried that yet.

Also, in the past I've used the wrong type of fuse in the 4wd system and it didnt work at all. But I'm pritty sure this fuse is right because after I connected it and turned ignition on I heard what I could only imagine is the attessa primer (definately not the fuel pump, this one sounds different)

Sigh, Is this most likely the transfer case? or should I go fill up my attessa reservoir and bleed it to see if it makes any difference?

wont hurt to bleed the system but usually if there is minor air in the system it will still work to a degree.

Does the light turn on and off when the engine fires??

Is the control unit in the boot flashing any fault codes??

The only other thing id check before ripping the transfer case out when you have NO front drive is the front diff. Mine likes to chew up crown wheel and pinion gears.

Havent looked for the 4wd light to turn on and off yet, will do next time.. It doesnt stay on thats for sure.

havent checked the atessa ecu yet, but will very soon, I'm assuming if all is well it doesnt flash any codes at all??

I started another thread regarding a clunking noise at the front when I corner hard but I believe thats to do with excessively low ride height, also I almost always run it in 2wd, but from countless threads I've read this "shouldnt" have an adverse effect.

Yes, I've seen the inside, not that complex really :(

The $1K rebuild should include the clutchpack's I believe, and you pay more $$$ if you want a stronger transfer case (better clutchpacks), RacePace do them in Victoria.

Award (gearbox and clutch?) do them in NSW or QLD, I cannot recall where they are located.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
