Have a read of this thread as it has lots of information on the fault codes.

The light that flashes is the one of the engine on your dash.

Cheers

Andy

Hey Andy,

Gave that a crack and just got 0000, so back to square one as to why the light is on.

On another note the torque split gauge just reads zero all the time?

Cheers.

My torque split gauge reads zero 90% of the time.

Lock the diffs by pushing the button to the upper right of the shifter. It should now show around 10 on the gauge, and you'll have a picture of your axles and a cog with S (?) in the middle lit up on your dash.

That's all working from memory. Give it a go and see.

Gauge still doesn't move, just sits there at zero. Even from a standing start and nailing it which you would think would activate the gauge doesn't. It does engage the front wheels as there is no loss of traction but I'm unsure if it's just running all the time or working as per norml. Also not sure if the gauge it's self is also faulty, will have to trace the wires back and see.

Have you tried starting the car and putting it in drive straight away then stalling it? It should get rid of the 4WD light.....you may just have air in the lines.

I have not, do you mean stall the motor or stall it up as in foot on brake and gas? Sorry if that sounds stupid. Lol.

It always makes me wonder what they were thinking when they do things like that... LOL

I has 2WD... :ninja:

And it's raining... :whistling:

Finally think we've worked out that the issue with Mike's car is the ATTESA relay under the airbox (shut up Brad :P).

His relay is causing a 4WD fault light on my car, so that gives us a pretty good idea, but will know for sure when he sticks my relay in his car. :cheers:

So was it the ETS realy in the end? And what does shut up Brad mean? :ninja:

So does this mean its an easy option for 2wd its still raining might have to pull the fuse and go for a spin

Im still skeptical about pulling the fuse, particularly after I saw the other Duncan write this

that gearbox/transfer case and mounting looks the same as r series. which means you are damaging your transfer case clutches running in RWD only. Plenty of people have done the "seems ok I'll drive like this for a while" thing.

the clutch packs have preload, and they will be slipping and wearing like bastards with the attessa pump off.

dropping the front driveshaft is fine though.

I won't be putting heaps of K's on, hoping that once Mike has worked it out, I'll get mine back this week.

Since mine is currently locked up at an alarm installers and can't come out to play, timing works out well :(

And Brad, I got your smug SMS, making us look at the front fuse and all :P

ok ...so today we checked ets relay and it working.... but it is not getting any signal as far as we can tell..... we put power through the relay and the pump fired up.... so it would seem the problem is upstream of the relay... any ideas would be greatly appreciated.. could it be a problem with the controller? or is there something more obvious??

How did you put power through the relay? Did you power up the coil or just put 12v on the output of the relay to turn the motor on? You could of just got the wire that goes to the motor from it. You should have 12v on pin 3 when ign is on. And there will always be 12V on pin 1 the bigger wire. Did you here the relay click.

The negative of the coil comes from the EITS C/U. The relay is grounded when it needs to be through the control unit.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
