anyone know what could cause this??. The 4wd light comes on, then goes off as normal.

I was at a drag race and people told me that only the rears were spinning. This explains my awful launches and slow 1/4 mile times.. the track was untreated and I was using much too hard yokohama advan slicks. Got a 13.001 @186kmh and my girl is really capable of more than that...I was about the only person not using mk drag slicks...

Open your boot, take off the bit on the driver's side and check your ATTESSA fluid level

just checked it...the levels fine(a bit high), spun the wheels and the torque gauge shows power to the front.....my assistant said the fronts did nothing

Just because wheels don't spin doesn't mean you have a problem. If anything, the fact that the rears break traction is the problem.

Go and read through any of the hundreds of threads that explain how the ATTESSA 4WD system works. Then decide if you actually have a problem.

I know how it works...my other gtr works a treat...this one doesn't...

it could be so many things. search for attesa diagnostics either google or in the forum and run the diagnostic sequence then check the diagnostic light flashes to see if any fault codes come up. if they do follow up whatever they indicate is not working. if nothing comes up check the basics first. do you have the same sized tyres all round? are all the wheel speed (ABS) sensors intact? they can be easily damaged as they are quite exposed. you've already checked the fluid level. can you hear the pump prime when the car is turned on? go to a workshop and get them to put a pressure gauge on the pump. good workshops will know how to test the awd and know what type of pressure the pump should be outputting under certain conditions.

anyway, start by checking for fault codes.

no fault codes...no nasty noises...pump runs..4wd light goes out...fluid level good....

it has uprated lsd's, and whoever wired the rear fog light managed to somehow give the brake light permanent live...so the brake lights come on when the ignition is off and if you turn the ignition on to listen to the stereo...you get that bloody awful buzzer all the time...

maybe they have tapped into something they shouldn'e have !

emailed the people who tuned it and dyno'd it before I owned it..they only have a 2 wheel drive dyno and said they think they either remove the abs fuse...or disconnect one of the front wheel speed sensors....

now my car does have very very heavy steering, but I put this down to a dodgy speedo conversion when it was brought over from japan...

Heavy steering? Dodgy speedo conversion?

Japan is in km/h, what has it been converted to?

Heavy steering may indicate the HICAS computer has been disconnected, but that is the 4 wheel steering system, not sure which models get the heavy steering, I know the R33 does...

unclipped the connector by the bonnet release.... turn on ignition and attessa pump runs constantly...reconnect.turn on ignition and nothing....should it prime when the ignition is switched on ????? is it usually so quiet you can't hear it..but can only feel the vibration?

it's been converted to mph....not sure how it was converted but the car has a full cage so think getting the clocks out might be a problem??

just lifted all 4 wheels, the fronts spin when in gear but you can stop them with your foot.

I disconnected the clip under the dash and this did not cause the pump to run constantly...... which relay is it that controls the attessa pump...the blue or the black???

Am i correct in thinking the pump should be on constantly when the clips disconnected..???

+1 rooted clutches in transfer case. They pulled the fuse before putting it on a 2wd dyno without bleeding pressure off to the transfer case (or mech. disconnecting it). Difference in steering may be because they didnt plug the speed sensor back in, Hicas uses it.

If the fronts are spinning under these conditions, then my opinion is that the ATTESSA is working. What does the torque-split gauge say?

AFAIK, the front diff is open, so it would be possible to stop one side, and the other side would continue to be driven. Is that what happens?

If you remove the fuse (in a R33), the car goes to limp mode (I believe) - that makes it impossible to run it on a 2WD dyno.

Just torque transfer by fluid coupling in the transfer case can produce the same effect.

I would suggest checking the pump again, and seeing if the pressure you are getting out is correct, not just hearing a noise.. R32 manual states between 294 and 490kPa (43-71psi).

If you are getting the correct pressure and still no drive, then clutch pack..

The bleed nipple under the pump....turned on the ignition.....about 10ml came out...then no more.... the pump did not run constantly..as I thought it was supposed to with the bleed connector disconnected..should this bleed fast, slow or should I not have done it?

When you turn the ignition on and off the actuator thing clunks and sometimes the pump comes on...not often though..

When I bled my system, you would turn on the ignition, and there would be a slight delay and the liquid starts coming out, it wasn't that slow but it took a while to get through the tank in the back of the boot.

I turned the ignition on and off at least 5 times to make sure I gave the pump a break, there's a tutorial on this somewhere.

The fact that its not pumping doesn't sound right...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
