Hey guys,

As the topic states, my 89' R32 GTR is switching from 4wd to 2wd on its own whenever it feels like and it is starting to do it a little more frequently now. It will switch from 4 wheel to 2 wheel while im driving and will remain RWD for the whole time (regardless if i pull over or stop at aset of lights etc), the only time it returns to 4wd is once i've actually turned the car off.

Does anyone have any idea what may be the cause of this?

Im not too sure when the last time the attessa system was serviced- im thinkin maybe this may play a part.

Cheers,

i dont know if its the same, but im assuming very similar.

our stageas run an attezza much like the 34R's one of the guys had an air lock in the system and would constantly switch between 4wd and 2wd.. he bled the system and it fixed the issue..

cant remember if it was Jetwreck(Craig) or Ironpaw(Jethro)

Yeah thats what im thinking it is, i figured if it was an electrical issue it'd be constantly on or off and wouldnt be alternating- i just havent had to much experience with the attessa system itself so wanted to narrow it down before i start bleeding it etc.

If anyone else has any imput they can throw in it'd be muchly appreciated.

Yeah had a look and the resevoir is full. The gearbox was changed recently in the car and i dont think the attessa system has ever been bled so there's probably a good chance an airpocket is in the system.

Does any know where i can find the correct way to bleed the system??

To bleed it properl, fill the reservoir then find the bleed nipple for the attessa at the rear of the vehicle, crack that and let it gravity bleed untill there's a constant stream...

Next fill the reservoir back up then remove the kick panel on the drivers side, there's a plug in there that u need to disconnect to start the bleeding process ( can't remember what colour)

Next u will need 2 people

Jump under the car, get some one to turn the ignition then crack the nipple on the back of the gear box,

Allow the attessa pump to bleed the air out and tighten the nipple when there is a steady stream... This will make a mess!

Fill the attessa reservoir, connect ur plug and instal ur kick panel back in...

That's pretty much it, hope it helps

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
