4Wd Light Now Permanently On

I have one on the wreck, and the unit on my car may be for sale soon...

[zei20l]

take a number, buddy!

Oh really?

[scotty nm35]

6 speed conversion buddy. Should have done it last time the box melted. Its a shame loosing the AWD but the weight saving alone will make it all worth while I think.

I'm so over the auto, why won't it just shift when I tell it to...

A= BFS - numbers in map are too low. Low numbers = slow shifts; but don't know how you'd go about changing that since your injectors are controlled by F-con, correct?.

6 speed sounds like the best solution for you though.

[scotty nm35]

Shifts are fast but the time it takes to decide is a joke. Usually it just bounces off the 7500 limiter on wot, not good at this power. Plus the gearbox won't drop in to a lower gear until the shaft speed has slowed enough, it's horrible changing gears in corners...

Added to the usual crappy reaction times, the box can only do 2 laps of PI without overheating, and causing weird transmission faults.

Come for a spin in mine on the weekend.

I'll show you what the difference is like with the gearbox

[scotty nm35]

Not much point if it cant hold the power, even if I could fit the PM35 box. I'm not going down the 33/34 GTR box either, a whole can of worms.

As the easiest, most logical and cheapest option I decided on the 350Z box. At least I can swap back if I ever need to... But I will be leaving the console handbrake.

Rather than clutter this Attessa thread I will start another to discuss it.

[PN-Mad]

Ah, not suggesting you go a PM box - too much headache. I'm for rwd manual all the way. Just want to show you the difference in shift decisiveness.

New thread is good idea.

so i took my baby to kewish (thanks scott). Error came up as 4WD Actuator Relay C1205.

Sounds relatively inexpensive (i hope).

Anyone done one of these? Advise on where it is and part number would be appreciated.

Thanks gents.

[Mr 20Valve]

The attessa relay is bolted to the radiator support, just underneath the airbox

Go to page 20 in the attachment, in the picture marked A the smaller item on the left labeled "E-TS アクチュエーターリレ" is the E-TS actuator relay. It's basically just beside the 4wd ecu, below the attesa fluid reservoir which is all in the boot wall behind the storage thingo on the drivers side.

I Google translate.

When mine was scanned it comes up saying pressure switch. Would this be the same problem? if not what is it that needs to be replaced?

[Sage222]

pomnz and 20valve you guys are awesome. (and so is pretty much everyone on this forum).

cheers

What code did u get?

[Brick]

What code did u get?

Not sure actually. Was scanned by my mechanic and he said it came up as the pressure switch but had no idea what it was.

[pomnz]

Hmm not really clear, if you look in the attachment for pressure switch

圧力SW

or

圧力スイッチ

There are a few references but it's more about testing the functionality rather than where it is located. Try and find out the code and that will probably help otherwise if you have a multimeter and know what you are doing there are a few voltage and continuity tests you could do, let me know if you need more help.

There is also this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/402973-m35-attesa-ets-pressure-switch-problems/

What symptoms are you having?

My prob sounds very similar to that post except i'm not getting the pump chirping. Also when my light comes on i loose 4wd all together(which is fun in the wet haha) i would say 90% of the time its ok, and seems very spiratic when it fails, just seems to fail at any random time.

You could try getting your battery tested I know that these cars seem to start acting strange when the battery starts to go. Otherwise I would try the multimeter tests mentioned in the service manual.
