I read there was a compartment at the rear of the wagon to hold some sort of hyraullic fluid. Is this true for my model, as I cant locate anything.

I can locate compartments on either side

Do any of the stageas have hydraulic suspension?

Behind the RHS cubbyhole in the load area there is a reservoir for the ATESSA system.

You have to remove the cover, and grab the lip of the plastic insert and pull (fairly forcefully) and it will pop out revealing the reservoir inside the rear quarter panel.

The first time I pulled mine out, I thought I was going to break it, then it just popped free.

Checked Aaron's attessa reservoir last night, it was black. Looks like I have to work out how to replace the fluid and bleed it. Any ideas?

I guess I have to suck out what I can then bleed it from the nipple on the transfer case, any idea how to get the pump to run continuously?

I wonder if it uses a pressure switch and an accumulator to maintain pressure in the system? I'm pretty sure this is how the r33GTR does it, and when the accumulator dies, the pump switches on and off constantly to maintain system pressure.

If you draw the dirty fluid out of the reservoir, replace with clean, then start the engine, the pump should start to charge the system with pressure.

If you open the bleed valve, the system may start to lose pressure and the pressure switch should activate the pump.

If this happens, you might be able to crack the bleed nipple with a length of hose to drain and slowly bleed the system until you are getting clean fluid, while someone is watching the reservoir level, and topping as required.

Sounds reasonable, just changing the fluid in the reservoir would be a good start anyway. Normally the dealer would switch the pump on with the consult 3 I guess.

Changed the transfer fluid yesterday, Aaron typed up a how to. :)

will probably be similar to c34's

look for a plug under the dash, 1 wire in 1 out possibly green

unplugging that and turning the ignition will keep the motor running

you can also take the fitting out of the back of the transfer case and run the motor, this will drain the fluid faster

thats strange because if i unplug it and drive normally the 4wd light comes on

if you unplug it and pump the brake pedal 5 times then you get in rwd mode (for c34's this is, but i doubt m35's are much different)

m35 should be using a similar system (attessa-ets)

take note of the "air evacuator connector"

It's worth a look but normally there's some annoying reason why what works on a c34 simply won't work on an M35...pinch.gif

well you guys have a super crazy motor ecu but the awd system sounds very similar so i don't think the control of it would be much different

Except me... over here in electric clutch land!!!:happy:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
