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?

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
