Hi all, I have a fairly substantial leak coming from the rear attesa system.. I have stuck my head under there and there appears To be the attesa unit above the diff and there is a lot of fluid on a wiring plug coming out of the unit. Has anyone got any pics of the unit out of the car and if it is possible fluid is coming from a switch?

Any help would be great!!

Thanks

Thanks endless, mine looks like it's leaking from the other side, looking from the drivers side just in front of the diff. Thanks for the pic.. It gives me a much better idea of what I'm looking at. Did you take this off the car without taking the diff out? Or did you need to remove the diff?

I'm not sure I can fix the leak with it still on the car.. I'm dreading having to take it out though.

That's not my picture, just a borrowed one!

You have to remove the diff to get to it. I will check mine on drivers side to see if it is wet there, mine is a pretty decent leak too as it drained the reservoir last time enough for the 4WD light to come on after a short time (only just got the system working due to other issues)

Unfortunately for me, i have JUST replaced all the diff mounts so i had access to it but didn't know it was leaking! :(

Mine is the same, I fill the reservoir and within a couple if days it's almost empty... Leaving behind a trail of everywhere I've been over the two days. The light is on and I haven't refilled it, of late because it empties too quick. Is it possible the unit would have Shat itself with no fluid? I'm thinking when I get it off I should probably just replace it with a known working unit. Problem is getting the car off the road as I have no spare..

Pull your 4WD fuse for now as this will stop it from leaking out any more fluid. I'd think the unit would be working as long as you didn't run it bone dry. I'd bleed it once leak fixed though.

Just checked drivers side on mine... looks dry. Mines definitely the other side.

Ahh, after some more searching think i have found my problem;

I found the bleed mico was talking about, here is a useful bleeding guide showing location.

Great work mate, i look forawrd to getting the sucker off and having a look at it. If the fluid is traveling along the wiring then that could be my problem too. I reckon before I take it off I'll fill the reservoir, jack it up and then remove the white clip under the dash to actuate the pump.. Then just hope I can see the leak and be able to get to it with it still in the car. I hope the pump is still working!

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
