Yes my 4WD is working like a dream now. Fitted the new nitrogen canister and bought a digital G-sensor to replace the old original sensor... Car hooks up all four wheels almost instantly on the track!

So I was researching this issue and came across this thread. Looks like I have the same issue. On cold starts the 4WD system always works fine but sometimes on hot starts the 4WD error light comes up on the dash and the car is in permanent 2WD mode.

Had a look and it always seems to be error code 18.

Joey did you ever solve your problem mate? It's just painful with no 4WD the car is way to tail happy. I'll start testing this weekend hopefully but any insight would be appreciated.

Just wondering if you guys resolved this problem?

I have an R32 GTR with error code 18. Tested the circuit as per the workshop manual and it's all good. However 4WD light stays on permanently and attessa pump only primes rarely on startup.

Any input from other people's experiences would be appreciated before I begin to change pressure switches and pumps out of desperation!

Look at the positive terminal on the battery. See if you can replace/improve the links.

Ravi - if you are replying to my comments I have a new battery and new cabling, solid connection. An auto elec also tested the entire Attessa circuit and all powers up fine.

Summary of my issue:

- 4WD and ABS lights stay on constantly

- Attessa computer reporting Error code 18: “ETS pressure switch or circuit fault”

- Auto elec checked all circuits and wiring thoroughly, all is ok

- 4WD pump primes on initial startup but no pressure going through lines to gearbox

- When pump is forced to prime (sending power direct to pressure switch) no fluid is coming to gearbox

Might have to bite the bullet and replace the pump!

Tried replacing the nitrogen canister above the rear diff ? It's 25 yrs old.

And I should add not cheap at around $400

That and then a flush of the fluid to be thorough

Made me a happy camper. :)

Haven't tried, but makes complete sense to do so. Any advice on where I can get a new nitrogen canister?

Thanks for the response!

I got mine from rhdjapan (few months ago) it was about $280. My pump was starting to make funny noises from running all the time, wish I had changed it ages ago

Very late reply, I did end up solving the issue mate, what the issue actually was, stuffed if I can remember haha think it may have been battery related

I've actually got another fault now so will be interesting to see what that one is as well

Did this fix it mate?

Yes my 4WD is working like a dream now. Fitted the new nitrogen canister and bought a digital G-sensor to replace the old original sensor... Car hooks up all four wheels almost instantly on the track! No tail happy over steering with delayed torque split anymore.

Next I will rebuild the transfer case to ensure best possible mechanical engagement.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
