So finaly got the GTR back after 7 months off the road. Now the 4WD is shot (see thread here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/415377-help-r33-gtr-v-spec-locked-in-4wd/page__pid__6663259#entry6663259)

So does anyone know anyone in Canberra who knows this system?

Interesting, I didnt think the ecu had anything to do with attesa? I was under the impression that attesa used its own ecu(s?) and just determined off the wheelspeed/abs sensors and g-sensors?

I could be wrong. As for anyone knowing attesa, id try John at trojan motorsports or glen at esp.

Faulty pressure switch or the relay ?

Perhaps you have found the issue yourself "Heard that it could have something to do with the PFC sending to much voltage to the TPS causing the car to think that the throttle is wide open"

If he still has the old ECU can he disconnect the PFC and plug in the old ECU? If so, and the problem goes away it would point to a PFC problem?

Thats that last resort, I would have to baby it around in the meantime. Had a chat with Glen from ESP, man really knows his stuff, told me to check to see if the corner of the plug for the PFC had lifted, that can cause errors, and to confirm that the PFC is the correct model for the car.

So looks like I need to plug the ATTESA back in and give in a go.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
