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.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
