G'day. I have searched on this one and couldn't see anyone with anything remotely the same as my problem. There is a gremlin in my car, I will explain...

The car goes straight into 4th gear even when dead cold (the last stagea I drove stayed in 3rd for a few minutes, once warmed up then went into 4th - i assume this is the norm)

The O/D off button does nothing - stays in 4th all the time. The light comes up on the dash however.

Snow and Power buttons have no effect what so ever. The lights show they work.

The car drives beautiful and shifts as per normal, kicks back when given throttle, etc... But I'm definitely lacking the 'power' function, I believe this function should work if you give the car a hiding even with the power button not pushed in? O/D off would be most handy for going up hills, the car chops and changes gears like a bastard...

So I have checked all wiring, plugs and switch functions inside the car and under bonnet. Have traced all relevant wiring back, no damage or bad connections I can see. I haven't had a chance for a real good look underneath yet. I worked as an auto sparky for many years, I remember fixing a similar issue on an R31, it was a faulty speedo divider circuit in the back of the instrument cluster, I was able to diagnose it easily from wiring schematics...

Does anyone have any electrical schematics so I can work out how all this is supposed to work? Any other ideas?

Cheers

Paul.

Just checked the ATTESSA controller located in the LHS cargo area behind the trim, no error flashes on the LED... Anyone got pinouts for this controller? Only ones I can find are for what looks like earlier model skyline ATTESSA controllers that have 4 plugs, this one of mine has 1 big plug and a 10mm nut in the middle.

Had a good look under the car today, everything looks good and intact as far and the wiring harness goes...

It almost makes me think the car does not realise it is out of Park when it is in actual fact in Drive... Although the dash display of the transmission selector works.. I give up for now :wacko:

Still having no luck with this... I am wondering if there is a problem with the ECU, either faulty or possibly the wrong one (ie, ECU is from a R33 manual or something)... I'll have to check this after work.

Anyone got any ideas? This is driving me nuts!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
