problem first occurred a few months ago when i AWD light stayed on for no apparent reason, had it checked by two mechanics nad an auto electrician and they all seem to think its fine with the light on.

Got in the car today and it stayed on for about 2 sec, then turned off.

Got back in a hour or so later and started the car again and the light is back to staying on.

i cant get my head around it

i noticed again something that i noticed the first time the light decided to stay on was when turning slow out of a park space ect the front wheels feel like they keep trying to grip and it feels like a studdering motion, hard to explain.

Any ideas or thoughts much appreciated.

battery is new, My mechanic and the mechanic were i got the car from both put it on the Nissan diag, was coming up with ABS problems, had a new asb unit installed and same problems, Not sure about the error code tho, im pretty sure the AWD works tho, front girps up nicely in the wet.

bump, need to get this fixed asap,

Noticed the problem again yesterday, turning out of a car park with the wheels at full lock the car make fast little jolts and shakes. And what is the Slip light for? it sometimes flickers on when its jolting.

Just an update to my problem, driving home today and was testing a vibrate in the exhaust at high revs so changing at around 7-8k, then i noticed the awd light turn off, jump in the next day and light is on again, so back to the usal problem, then jumping in and staring the car this arvo the awd light flickered on and of realyl quick with a buzzing comming from the ATTESA pump in the, last about 5sec.

Had a quick chat to my mechanic and he sed its one of the solinoids (sp)? whats are they?

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
