Hey fellas,

having a problem with a r33 96 v spec gtr, two workshops have looked into this and given up,

problems is or was at first that whenever we broke traction like even just a little bit on a gravel driveway or in the wet the 4wd and a-lsd lights would come on???? the car seemed to be fine still in 4wd mode and all???

to complicate things furtrher now the lights dont come on when we brake traction so we have difficulty showing anyone, they now generally come on after the car has been driven reasonably and then after its left running for a minute sitting still!!!!! they dont go off again until the car is turned off and re started!!!!

****IN givin me the shits!!!

we are running a microtech ecu.....

since the car still mechanically seems to be working properly, id say it is a electronic problem

check the fuses, then get the attessa pro computer checked out aswell (maybe swap with one to c if its the problem)

ok,

no the car has never been in an accidednt and no mechanics can find any serious damage.

the car has about 30 k on the clock , but being an import??? but the car is in good nick.

the lights are now coming on after the car has been driven and if its then left running and stationary, like at the traffic lights or something. the lights stay on until the car is switched off and started again.

so you have seen this before then Lal??? what did people do to fix it???

Im unsure if its the same in the R33's, but in the R32 the ATTESSA control box is in the boot (open the boot then look on the roof of the boot and theres a few boxes). Theres a silver one with a LED on the bottom of it. This is the control box, if theres an error with attessa it will flash a fault code (when the lights come on, pull over, dont turn the car off and check what its flashing).

Have you checked the transfer case fluid levels and the attessa fluid levels? Mine was running low and this caused havoc on my car... but once again its a 32 not 33.

i fixed it myself, got some help at sendai drags when i was back there...

in the boot there are fuses all over the place..

on the MIDDLE SET OF ROWS the SECOND fuse going DOWN pull that out.. then try to turn your car on.. it wont turn on . then put the fuse back on then turn it on.. and see how you go from there. this usualy fixes it..

Why not just AXE the ATTESSA and buy a replacement bar from me, then pull the globes from the annoying warning lights.

 

No ATTESSA, no problem...works for me on the track.

dude i think that's hicas u mean...the whole reason u buy a GTR is because of ATTESSA

i''ll probably check the fluid levels and the fuses 1st. not sure how to get the car to diagnose attessa problem codes but if you had a mechanic with a Nissan consult near you that'd help.

might be the clutch pack that activates the attessa is worn or spoilt or something.

get on the internet to find out...i found out how to get the hicas to flash problem codes from the net...i'm sure melb has some good GTR mechanics out there like the guy who used to tune the GTRs that ran in Bathurst...but he's pricey.

geoff...yea i always find i have to correct and re-correct the car on a hard exit so i think a hicas lock would be good

LAL....

i'm looking at the fuses and i'm seeing a centre row of marked fuses, the third fuse down this row says 4wd-lsd which are the lights that are coming on so i'm gussing thhat this is the fuse you are talking about???? the 1st fuse says MAIN so i'm guessing its not that, the second one down says BLOWER so i'm guessing you mean the 3rd one down called 4wd-lsd?? i'll try this one, there is also a big blue fuse sitting by itself i dont what this does????

RB26dett i dont know what your talking about none of the computers in the back of my car have any LED on them and its a ATTESSA problem not a hicus problem, but thanks for the input, i'm not being sarcastic maybe your thinking of an r32???

cheers fellas,

On that note, im now starting to experiance problems with my attessa system. Its a 1992 R32 GTR (non v-spec). It still drives fine, not flashing any fault codes, but when im driving normally, its putting torque to the front wheels (goes upto 25) when it never used to (unless I was hammering it, it would stay rwd). Cruising along in 5th gear, even when I tap the throttle it goes up a little bit.

Any ideas?

tribex, when the 4wd light comes on does your car go into rwd mode only? From your original post, it sounds like it stays in 4wd mode but the light comes on. Usually light coming on means 4wd is disengaged...if this is the cash...try bleeding the system...air in the system causes this....hope this helps

No expert here.. so dont bag me if this sounds silly...

Do you have stocks wheels on your car? Are the Tyres exactly the same size allround?

I had a similar problem with my gtr when I fitted 19's to it.. problem was the rims were different, 275's at the back & 245's at the front, and the ATTESSA was sensing this as a loss of traction. I was also told that in the case you have major uneven tyre tread wear, the ATTESSA will sense this as loss of traction & the 4WD will light up.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
