New owner R32 Need help 4WD light ON

Greetings from USA.

I recently took ownership of this R32 GTR. I don't know much about this car since there are not many here. The 4wd light stays on but the ABS and Hicas goes off normally after engine start.

After some search here is what I have done:

Checked under hood and dash fuses all good

Checked the LED error and flashing code 21.

Checked the TPS(last owner installed a new unit)

Checked the TPS voltage using a scanner and shows .4v throttle closed.

Checked the fluid level in trunk. (right between min and max)

I printed out R32 manual and followed diag for code 21. Measured voltage at attesa ECU pin 47 and 48. Found .4V at connector. Flow charts says to replaced attesa ECU. Makes sense since the voltage signal is getting to the 4WD ECU but the ecu still flashes this problem then ECU defective.

I replaced the attesa ECU and still same code 21 and 4wd light on.

I ran 2 new wires from ECU to attesa ecu replacing the two tps signal wires. The 4WD light went out and torque gauge is working now.

I bleeded the system and everything seems to be good now until I found out the CEL is on now (apexi ECU lights up exhaust warning for CEL).

In the mean time since the 4wd is working some what now I started getting the relay clicking and hicas light problem so I replaced the accumator and that problem seems ok now.

I bleeded the system again and now a lot more fluid is flowing out so I think the accumator helped a lot with the pressures.

I have a apexi power fc and when the cel is on the exhaust overheat will stay on. The CEL is for water temp sensor, air temp sensor and tps.

I checked the wires again and found the black wire from the ecu needs to go to attesa, tps, ect, and air temp sensor.

So now I wires up sensors one by one while checking the 4wd light.

Everything still works fine with water temp and air temp sensor and attesa wired up, however once I wire up the tps ground wire, the 4wd light turns back on.

I rechecked the tps voltage again and it's looks good...so now stuck.,,

Also this condition is same with stock ECU and apexi ecu

Any ideas?? thanks.

I know this was so long ago but I currently have the same issue with mine and was told to change the ecu tps from 10% to 90% instead of 0% to 100%. Doing this seemed to work for others I'm going to try it on mine

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
