My understanding is that the atessa sends 5% drive to the front wheels as a minimum at at all times.

Regarding fluids when my car was auto I bought 20L of quality synthetic atf and used it in the auto, the atessa and the power steering.

Well just as abit of of an update with my car, took it to a GTR doctor xD, got all the fluids in the car changed, $600+ of fluids! Both diffs, transfer case, gearbox, ATTESA actuator.. everything done except a coolant flush which is getting done next time i'm there.

My mechanic belives that it is most likely a G sensor. However upon driving he believes that there is something abit wrong with the speedo.. When accelerating it stays on 0kph then quickly rises to say 40kph, the delay is minimal however he belives that this could also cause my issue. As the ATTESA takes inputs from the G sensors, speedo etc right? So if there is a delay, the ATTESSA might be tricked into believeing there is wheelspin.

Any chance of this being the cause? I plan to get it looked at again in the near future!

Looking at the R32 RB26DETT System Figure, the ECCS unit gets its' vehicle speed signal from the speedo which gets it from the gearbox.

I can't find a diagram for the R32 ABS/ETS unit but I would imagine that the system is only looking at differential readings from the ABS sensors.. will have a look when I get home.

Yeah it looks like the ECU gets the vehicle speed from the speedo (for speed limiter etc) but it also looks like the ECU only supplies the ETS (attessa) with throttle signal and engine RPM, I guess the ABS sensors would be providing the speed for the ETS computer. If you end up needing another speedo with speed sensor let me know, i've a spare.

Roger that doo doo!

Is it possible to repair the speedo without changing the cluster.. as i believe my car has genuine k's and would like to keep the "standard" ODO on there if possible.

If it is something as simple as this to fix my problem that would be a massive relief!

I had pulsing issue where if the car was cruising around 100km, I could feel the car surging forward slightly every 5 secs or so constantly

at the time if didnt put 2 n 2 together as I was only fixing the flicking needle but it also sorted out the surge as well

Hm my issue occurs at 100kph as well, not sure if mine "surges" .. the torque just goes foward after a certain amount of time.

I will have to get this fixed asap and see if it solves my problem:D

The 'speed warning' unit which looks like a fuse is interchangeable between speedos so you can keep your original cluster. Still don't know if it supplies speed info for ECU or if it's just a limiter warning or power steering/hicas input. If it's jiggered it might be doing something funny to your attessa at 100kph, but check the speedo cable first. After the G sensor of course

are you 100% sure the tyres are all the same???

do a liltle test, put the tyres on the front on the back and back on the front, than go for a drive and see if it is the same.... if it dose than its a prob with the 4wd system, theres a test you can also do its in the workshop manaul mite be worth alook

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
