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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
