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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
