Any one help me with this i rather drive around in 4wd i think it does damage to drive around in 2wd ya?

And im anal about my car i wont drive it unless its 100%

Any body had a problem with this and fixed it.....

if your tps voltage on idle/throttle closed is below a certain point the attessa doesnt work

i had the same problem as you till i adjusted the tps from 0.32v to 0.45volts and now attessa works everytime i start my car

could be your problem, give it a go

yep definately check TPS voltage. adjust to .45 if need be.

also check your attessa fluid level in the boot on the drivers side, make sure its still topped up.

it didnt change anything for me besides fixing my attessa problem, just see what ur TPS is reading first, dont adjust it if your that scared to haha

do you have a power fc ?

Hey, appologies for the novcie question but how does one measure and if need be correct the TPS voltages. I recently bought an automotive multimeter to adjust the volatges of the G-sensor, I did this and it didn't prevent the 4WD and ABS lights from staying on.

Detailed descriptions, pics, or whatever would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance

the most common issues with the atessa are the TPS voltage, the fluid level and lastly, wheel speed sensors(abs sensors) Check these and im almost positive you will find the issue. If the fluid is good, take the car into nissan and get them to do a consult check, IN FRONT OF YOU, and write down the voltages, codes ect ect. If you dont, the greasy bastards will take you for a ride, they have no fcuking idea about these cars usually and its a money making scheme for them to play dumb. If its a wheel speed sensor, it can be 1 of 2 things. The tps voltage AND/OR a faulty ABS sensor. They dont usually shit themselves so if its a sensor, try looking and it may be covered in CV grease(common) or possibly misaligned due to work bieng done in that area and it getting bumped. TPS voltage is pretty self explanatory, adjust it, if the problem comes back, replace the tps as its on the brink.

Good luck

Cheers, Allan

In reguards to the tps voltage

When I have a high current draw ( ie head lights on while brake lights are on as well) my attessa drops out and I'm back to rwd

Then I have to restart the car to get it goin again

I've cleaned all the earths up which did help but I'm guessing the tps voltage drop could be an issue for me????

I have a 32 GTR. Had a similar problem. Just needed to top up the juice in the boot. Instead of running on full I put a tad bit extra in so now it's a mm or two above the full mark.

23 and 33 GTR's are fine to drive around in rear wheel mode.

what problem are u refering to? OP or mine?

sometimes when I start my 32 on a weird slopey surface it triggers the 4wd and abs lights, and I have no attessa or abs. If I simply cut the ignition and start it up again on a flat surface it returns to normal. I wouldn't suggest playing around with your g-sensor unless you know what you're doing.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
