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

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
