My bnr34 intermittently goes into rwd when it feels like it, both the alsd and 4wd lights come on, the nissan consult found pressure switch off failure code, all fluids are good and car is in excellent nick, does any1 no were the pressure switch is and if its a replacable part, the factory service manual doesnt identify it and nissan could not find a listing for it, i imagin its somewere in the hydraulic lines near the pump if any1 has had this issue before or knows a fix please help

Any help is greatly appreciated

The hydraulic unit is mounted on a frame above the diff.

The unit comprises the 12V hydraulic pump, a nitrogen charged accumulator, the pressure switch and the solenoid valve.

All components are mounted on a cast alloy manifold and can be individually removed/replaced. (The accumulator will need specialist knowledge to remove)

There are 2-electrical plugs. One has 2-pins and is the power for the pump. The other has 4-pins?? for the solenoid valve and the pressure switch.

Unsure of your exact fault but it might pay to check the 4-pin plug first to be sure the message from the pressure switch is getting to the pump relay.

These components (apart from the nitrogen accumulator) give excellent service, it's rare to have any fails unless the oil has become contaminated in same way.

Yea its stock as. Ive exhaused nearly every avenue with no luck, checked voltages across all pins via the fsm, cleaned them with contact cleaner. The problem seems to actualy be the pressure switch itself, but nissan dont sell it seperately and considering the whole unit cost $6000 brand new and second hand is nearly impossible to find im pretty much screwed

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
