hi i have a r32 gtr and for some reason it keeps putting it self into rwd at anytime. the light will come on in the dash and stay on till completely turn it off and then most of the time the light justs comes striaght back on.

Does anyone what is f**ked or is it the cars way of saying do a skid ?

Could be a number of things.

The reservoir in the RHR quarter, is it full?

What size tyres are you running front and rear?

Have you got a mix of new and old tyres?

Could be a a sensor gone.

Have you got a copy of the workshop manual? there are some good trouble shooting steps in there.

Feel free to arrange a time to head over to Burnie if you want someone to have a look for you.

Always happy to meet another GTR owner and help out if possible.

The tyres are 235/45r17 all round and are the same the car was running for about 4 months befor (stephen corrected me if Im wrong)

My first thought was wheel speed sensor as well but its not throwing the abs light

as for reservoir Ill lol if thats all it is due to the facted that he should be smart enough to have topped that up when he bleed it. but it might not be bleed properly

attessa is very sensitive to earth, and voltage. My car pulled the abs wires into the compresser, which kept blowing the a/c fuse, and also made the 4wd fail. I've heard of people having earthing problems that cause it to fail too.

also when it fails, look at the attessa ecu under the rear parsel shelf, and count the number of led flashes.

When was it bled and does this coincide with the warning light issue???

Its easy enough to bleed, if you know what your doing.

If you dont, then its real easy to get it all wrong as well.

Same way its been bleed the same the other 3 times the gearbox has been out. tho the car has had the whole motor out and has only just got going again. from what he was telling me to day its intermittent and if you stop and turn the car off its fine for a bit then it will throw the light and be in rwd again

thanks for the help. think i have fixed it now. i bleed it again and cleaned all the abs sensors and been driving around all day and it hasn't done it again plus the 4wd seems to kick in quicker

Should be free most night next week after about 6pm.

Dont think I have anything planned at this stage for Sunday either... :s

Not sure on that one though.

Shoot us through a PM with your mobile number and we will tee something up.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
