Centre Diff Locking And Binding Diffs Ay Low Speed

Hi, I have developed a problem with my Stagea 4WD (4spd Auto). At low speed say turning into a car park or reversing into a car space the diffs lock up and make a horrible sounds and a jerky movement or binding.

Now this used to happen when I had left the button switched to 4WD if say I was driving in heavy rain and when I reached the destination, still in 4WD and start to reverse into a park but I would immediately turned off 4WD and it would reverse nicely again with no binding.

The weird thing is it doesn't always happen. I could do a complete 20km trip with all the elements and it would be fine... then hop in the car and it would do it straight off. At first it was every now and then... but the frequency is getting more often.

I have bled the Attessa hydraulics which seemed to go fine... the pump seemed to react as expected while bleeding it.

I plugged in the USB Consult plug and checked... there are no fault codes.

I am thinking a wheel sensor or one of the G sensors but how do I check these? I do have complete R32 GTR Skyline sitting here for parts if they are computable.

Ideas? suggestions and details on how to check wheel sensors and G sensors would be good if anyone has a source.

can you get live data with your lead?

wheel speeds can be pulled off the ABS stream IF you can access it. G sensor I'm not sure on. I can tell you that R32 vs C34 that a few things are different . the G sensor under the armrest is one of them. that you can check visually as it has a inspection mark on it that is supposed to be clear. if red then its had it.

I see you are in brissy. if you feel like a drive I can plug a scan tool into it.

Thanks Chris... I don't see anything to do with ABS in the software so maybe a scan tool would be a better check. Do I just remove the armrest to look at the G sensor?

What are your weekly movements I am flexible in my job and can get away just about any time of any day between 8 and 3pm... I have 3 year old to get from Dcare in the arvos. Monday arvo's are clear and this Friday I am off.

No point in pushing the awd button when it is raining. Its only for low speed such as pulling out of a wet paddock or a snowbound car park At speed ( I think something over 20km/hr) the Atessa computer takes over anyway and will feed power to the front wheels as appropriate.

thats it. if it was dead that would be red.

see you sunday after I get rid of a R34. from there we can go for a strap on the back roads and I can log this thing to see why it does what it does.

Sounds like a plan.

FYI problem sorted a while back. As far as I can work out... when the gearbox was changed last year by myself I of course had to re-bleed the Attesa pump system... I f**ked up and used the wrong oil which mixed with the existing oil and eventually worked it's way closser to the actuator... with it being thicker oil (we think diff oil) it would hold the 4wd on for some time after.

Replaced all the oil with the right stuff and it is perfect again.

Lesson: don't put oils in unmaked containers and work in the dark and unsatisfactory work shop or my case the shed floor.

I’m having the same issue.. when parking etc, but when the issue (4wd lock?) it makes the car vibrate under acceleration, I’m pretty sure who ever did my auto-manual conversion also used the wrong oils maybe? Could it be worth it for me to try this solution.

Mine is also rs4v, I’ve never had this issue till post manual conversion.

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
