Hi all,

I recently just fitted my new engine in i had no problem's with abs or 4wd lights coming on. I have done about 5000km and now i have my abs light and 4wd light come on at the same time while im driving but its random. At times i can drive it for 10-15 km and it will not come on and then randomly it will appear. But sometimes i can start the car and it will appear as soon as i come out of my driveway. When the lights appear i can pull over turn the car off and on the light will disappear and it might not come on for another 10-15 km or it might come back on as soon as i start moving again. The car is a 1995 GTR r33 VSPEC it also runs motec if that can have some sought of play init????

My 32 does the same thing except the lights stay illuminated and I have to shut off the engine and start it again.

It is imperative that you are aware that while the lights are illuminated you have no abs and your 33 is running in RWD. I had an interesting moment in the wet but luckily I caught the rear end.

Some people would say g sensor is knackered, I haven't delved too deeply into fixing my problem as it is quite intermittent but it could be something as simple as your battery. There are a few threads regarding this subject on here, albeit when I fix mine I'll let you know what I did and hopefully we both don't have to spend 2 grand on a g sensor.

In the meantime, take your car to your trusted mechanic and have them run a diagnostics check on your hicas.

Hope this helps :)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
