hi all, i have an r32 gtr, in the boot where the boot latch is, under all the garnishing there is a relay which is somehow related to the attessa pump. if i disconnect it, the 4wd light comes on the dash. this relay keeps flicking, making all the electrics flicker, the headlights, the interior lights, boost controller light even the power fc commander light! its just a flicker in the lights. does anyone know what could cause this to happen? ive changed the relay, but the problem is still there. ive been told that its a faulty earth or something, but have no idea how to find it. i really dont want to pay an autoelectrician who is going to charge me heaps of $$$ on an hourly basis to try and find the problem. it could take forever! someone please help!

Lol, you dont wanna pay an auto elec? The question you ask is a very open one, and without having a look at the car most people wouldn't be able to diagnose. If I were you I would pay an auto elec to sort it out...... Or you can take random stabs at what it could be. :rofl: Just dont start a fire.

Bit of a thread dig but didn't anyone happen to fix this problem?

my car originally had error code 16 (lateral G sensor) I replaced it with a working one and no more fault code lights but the 4wd light still stays on. I also tried another attessa computer but it's the same.

The 4wd relay in the boot keeps clicking and won't prime the pump. I pulled the relay apart and gave the contacts a sand to clean them but it still won't stay connected. 

This fault is doing my head in

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
