4WD Problem

Hi guys,

Im a newbie on this board and need a bit of advice/help on getting a problem sorted on my R34 here in the UK.

I recently had a load of engine work done including an engine overhaul, new turbos, oil pump etc and a new set of sexy Nismo clocks that i picked up cheap in Japan.

The car was all put back together by my tuner who is to be the best in the UK..... When i got the car back he mentioned that at first the Nismo clocks wouldnt work but fter some fidling around they were ok. Since the clocks have been working the 4WD, Airback and ABS lights have been going off. I have NO 4wd at thre mo with the MFD not reading any torque in the front wheels, no ABS as i found out on a wet day. All the fuses under the bonnet, in the drivers footwell and the few fuses in the boot have been checked and they seem to be fine. I knowthe Atessa ecus in the boot are getting power as they are war mafter a drive... SOmething that may have effected the car is the GRID Ts DAncer Torque splitter controller unit which is based in the boot and also has an inline fuse.....Appart from that i really dont know what the problem can be. Does anyone have a clue as im tired of going round a corner and coming out on opposite lock lol

Cheers

Gerry

Hmmmm, was this put in profesionally too? I would assume that this would be the cause of the problem, as I cant see the Nismo Dash causing any problems... :confused: . Its strange that this is all stopped working, but the fuses are intact.

Have you spoken to the w/shop that did the work?

Hi guys,

The Torque splitter unit was installed previously in Japan and was working fine so i dont see how its instaallation can be a problem. What im thinking is that on of the torque splitter fuses may have popped and caused a problem as its wired into the ecu.. OR it could me something else altogether....Im just worried that my mechanic has fried the Atessa ecu.....

Cheers

Well i have checked the Grids fuse and it seems ok. The unit was not set at all so it ruels out the fulltime rwd theory which i wisah was true..... Everything has been checked so it only leaves with one option, the Atessa ecu has been fried......Fingers x its not. What i need is the Nissan Consult monitor to see what fault code it comes up with so i at least know what i should be looking at.

Cheers

Gerry

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
