Hi, the Attesa ETS hydraulic unit was leaking oil and I discovered that the pressure switch had a broken cap and leaking internally from it. I tried to replace the sensor alone but Nissan don't have a part number for it, except for the whole unit itself which is 41610-05u00. Can anyone advise on an alternate replacement switch? Thanks!

I've just discovered the exact same wonderful issue with my car.
Has anyone had any experience with repairing this issue or is the default answer still to grab a second hand pump assembly?

(or spend $3200 for a brand new one out of Japan)

I have 5 Stagea pump assemblies here with the same issue. If anyone finds a replacement pressure switch let me know.

If we could find the hysteresis curve of the switch I am sure I could source a replacement... Would it matter if the pressure was a little higher or lower?

I guess that depends on what the switch is used for, if it is just a pressure check to make sure the system is up to pressure it shouldn't matter, but if its used in the actual actuation of the transfer case itself its probably rather important.

Just like an air compressor pressure switch, it has a hysteresis engagement, as in it switches on at a preset low pressure, and off again at a higher one, (around 220psi afaik.) This is to keep the Attessa pressure in an approximate pressure range. If it sees anything outside that range it likely throws a code.

The transfer case won't care what maximum pressure is used to engage the clutches, but more pressure would mean the clutches are transferring more power to the front wheels than the attessa computer wants to send. How much this is an issue I don't know.

Anyway, I have found a replacement can be custom made if you don't mind waiting, and can afford 10,000 switches. :P

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
