I guess its Mikes M35. There is also a relay under the aircleaner the controls the attesa. If thats not working it wont turn the pump on. Which would keep the 4wd light on.

Correct, theyve tried replacing that relay and also the ETC computer from Ryans car.. still no dice. I asked Mike about it yesterday and he said they've essentially narrowed it down to being somethign wrong with the wiring somewhere. Its running in RWD at the moment, which seems to be the 'failsafe mode' that the ATTESA system goes into when anything goes wrong.

Has Mike checked the 30A fuse for power. Then the wire that goes to the battery. Aparently there is no volts at the relay.

Fuse looks good, its one of those grouped fuses (sorry dont know what else to call it) but did not check the wiring from there back to the battery sorry. Will check that when i get back to Adelaide.

Oh I assumed that the 30amp fuse in question was the one in the fuse box next to the battery?

Happy to take the car up to see you also.

Mike.

Yes there is a 30A ETS fuse under the battery lid. Check that there is 12V on both sides of the fuse. The fuse might not be blown but it could have no supply still. There is also a contact that goes into the ETS ECU. Also check accessories will turn the relay on and the 30A fuse then supplies the motor through the relay. Have you got the wiring diagram and can you read one?

Ok, I'll bust out the old multimeter and check both sides (silly question but am I going to be able to even get the probe in to measure both sides or should I pull out the box and measure from the bottom or something?)

Also you kind of lost me in the second part, any chance I could give you a buzz at some stage and talk it through?

Mike.

Isn't the

PM sent. The relay has a coil which operates a contact. When accessories is applied to the coil of the relay it will pull the switch in which is fed by the 30A feed. There should be 2 12v supplies at the relay. It works the same way when you install spot lights.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
