thought id do a big bump on this one.. I am still getting the blip of power to the front wheels (shows up on the front torque gauge) now and then usually when the gearbox shifts from first to second gear.. no 4WD light ever. (thanks scotty - that was just a faulty relay). Though this blip of power to the front wheels even when using very low throttle causes the car to do a very ugly shift into second. or very occasionally a slight surge at 60-70kmh.

If i pull the relay and have the 4WD light come on (hence RWD only) car is smooth as silk.

also smooth as silk if i flick to synchro.

Anyone else have this problem? Going to bleed the atessa with scotty in the next couple of weeks though would like to see if anyone else has any ideas.

just been doing some googling. Some people are saying that it can be caused by non-matching front and rear tires.. I run factory ARX 18's they did come with 235/50/18 though i changed them to 245/45/18. surely it cant be that??

Cheers.

If all the tyres are matching there isn't much else you can do, unless the fronts are worn more than the rears?

Hopefully it just needs a flush, new fluid can only help it, and get rid of any built up air in the system.

Today I had my first encounter with exactly the same thing between 5-10% torque showing on the gauge in 1st gear and into the beginning of 2nd... No green 4WD light up on dash either.

Made the car sound like it was working extremely hard but performance was anything but. Didn't at all turn the tyres was probably best described as like a slipping manual clutch sensation...

Ok it had been very lightly drizzling in Adelaide, still I had pictured qtr turn of opposite lock to be the result...?

Only owned NM35 for a couple months...

So is this the normal occurrence

just an update for those following and or having the same problem. My car was due for a front right wheel bearing.. This seems to have been causing issues with the atessa. making the car pulse power to the front wheels when cruising (50-80kmh). Also even gave me a symptom like fuel cut when using near or wide open throttle. both these things have been fixed by the wheel bearing replacement.. (thanks Scotty!).

quite strange. we bled the atessa fluid too. so now i am back tot he occasional blip of front torque when going from first to second.. no other symptoms..

yeah mate. running real well i reckon that atessa bleed has helped too.. just need to do that dif bush let me know when you get em in :)

I sent diff bushes down to Scotty last week, if Auspost get off their arses they should have them to him shortly.

you may be interested - in cold Russia the most suspicious part of ATTESSA is used to be the pressure control switch, which causes C1208 error reading

this is one of this crap pieces

it's not aviable to order from Nissan separately

we have found the replacement one -

the thread is metric M10*1.25

length of thread 10mm (2.5mm O-ring)

Nice one Erop, I have an assembly here with pressure switch problems, I might give this switch a shot. Thanks.

You don't happen to have a part number for the correct pressure and thread do you?

this switch is only marked with PS-20

the WAKO doesn't sell less than 1000 pcs :angry::angry:

now looking for byuing this switch, still no exact code, Scott's right

BUT - you may take it from R32-R34, Laurels, Glorias - their ATTESSA is similar in such parts, and their used spares are cheaper

in my mind - the reason is lack of changing of this fluid, which causes mechanical problems in winter, cause my one (350K on odo since 2001) still works, i replace the ET-S fluid every year

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
