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

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
