ok ,

well today i tried the fuse thing suggested by LAL and no problems yet however fingers crossed cause sometimes its fine for a few days and then starts coming on again,

Meshmash your an IDIOT mate dont yu know anything, SHITE man, only kidding bro :D your suggestion makes good sense to me but the tyres and wheels are pretty good i think, 17 inch volks with good tyres so i dont think thats it, but certainly keep it in mind...

Demon : No the car does not ever appear to be in 2 wd mode despite the warning lights, so thats why i am thinking electrical fault but, have thought of bleeding the system, but i think if it was a case of fluid issues the car would in 2wd mode and spinning tyres like a bitch.. i'll keep this in mind though bro..

Amuru: sorry mate, i'm not sure i'm fast learning about ATTESSA myself, the r33 tends to send a lot of torque to the front anyway even when driving normally, i think the r32 tends to be more rear bias normally, if anything i would expect you to loose front drive if their were problems with maybe low fluid or something but gaing more front drive, sorry mate i'm buggered if i know but i'll keep an ear out for solutions......

Hoetrain : thanx for the input, how the f do i check a faulty g sensor??? lol

anyways hopefully LAL's idea has worked, i'll let you know fellas, cheers.

Hehehe, you can actually measure the voltage across the terminals.

(add a variable resistor and you have yourself a poor mans torque split controller), anyway, good luck with your ATTESSA.

Sorry to temporarily hi jack your thread!

Lal

The problem you described early in this thread with the 4WD light coming on after goin for a drive then once I turn the car off and back on the light seems to go away, mine seems to be doin this, what do you think the problem is? The car has never been in a smash, I made sure by taking it to many different mechanics just to check thoroughly.

Any ideas?

Thanks

tribex,

Yeah the fluids fine, I topped it up recently as the mechanic hadnt put enough fluid in. If I hadve remembered you were having problems with yours, I wouldve had a look at it last night.

I know most of the common causes of attessa failures (on r32 at least) but Im a bit stumped as to why its always putting torque to the front now even on light throttle (all wheels are 17x9 with 255/40/17's)

Amaru;

Might sound like a numpty solution but have you thought about getting the thing CONSULT checked? Mine has done the same thing twice - torque gauge flickered just on cruise and then behaved normally. It hasn't happened often enough to bother me yet so I haven't pursued it.

Regards

Ronin6: you got the same problem as us bro by the sounds of things, i tried LAL's idea of removing the fuses and puttin them in again so far so good but wont really know if its worked for a few days as its irregular, i'll let you know though....by the way are you running an aftermarket ecu??????

almuru, you know yours might me a faulty g sensor, that kinda makes sense if its giving false reading and adjusting accordingly, i really dont know man thats weird but.....good luck dude....

Consult plugs into the standard ecu doesnt it? If so, I have a power fc.... :D

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

Fred Gibson Motorsports

the ecu doesnt really have anything to do with it as there is other module units in the car that control the vehicles drive system......By taking the fuse out you have cleared out the Drive system module codes that would have been stored due to some sort of malfunction that has occured in the system at one stage...once its recognised an error it will flash the light and hold the code in memory...once the battery or fuse is pulled out it resets it....So 1st stage of finding the problem is to clear out the code....and see if it comes back....but you obviously already know that :D

ok LAL well i thought you might have been my savior but nope , fraid your trick hasn't fixed it, removed the fuses like you said and today got the lights back again!!!! errrr this is givin me the shites,

any other ideas anyone

??????

Ronin plesae let me know if you have any luck...

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
