id be re doing the harness.

solder my man. get that iron out. i cannot stand wiring like that even if i cant see it.

think you are right Paul

Also think that a new harness is going to have to be on order

Burn more money burn :rant:

I'd try source a new male plug w/ pins from Haltech or wherever. Cut it back and start again. Poor connections raise resistance, altering sensor readings from true. If you didn't want to solder, maybe source some weatherproof connectors like deutsch. We use them at work and installed correctly, can outlive the life of the machine in some pretty harsh environments. We prefer if possible to plug/receptacle as solder joins can become brittle and hard over time, and if there is any vibration can crack.

I prefer having an entire new harness.

However, I have just done a some quick research and found this from Haltech

the very last post got my attention

The attessa error code is still 29 even after this new tps has been installed

I wonder if something has reset itself

Got to love people butchering up the harnesses like that. Mine was the same as yours so when I switched from PowerFC to the Link I replaced the harness for peace of mind - was good that I did as I also found that the front left wheel sensor plug had melted and become disconnected :/

Do you remember changing / touching anything for the light to come on or did it just appear one day?

all I did man was remove the oil catch can from the engine bay and give it a good clean out

there was a ground wire that I thought was in the way so I started to unscrew it (sits directly below where the oil catch can sits behind / next to the battery hook) but I couldn't take it off so I just tried to tighten again (but still seemed a bit loose, wonder if there is nut underneath)

after I had cleaned the oil catch can I reinstalled with the breathers attached and went for drive

got to the traffic lights at the end of my street (600-700m or so) and before I could even cross the 4WD light came on.

Make sure your battery and earths are good..

That's given me heaps of troubles before with my attessa

Yeah. I will check it over.

Could be so many possibilities.

What an absolute PITA.

But I guess it gives me the chance to find electrical issues that need to be resolved so probably a good thing.

Phewww.........So I fixed my 4WD issue :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

It was what GTR_JOEY said and was a loose / dirty ground wire which also grounded the battery wire in front of that silly catch can.

I gave it a good clean and replaced the screw with a new one as the old one was totally stripped of its thread (not sure how :dry: )

then couldnt help myself and take the car for a spin - all four wheels blazing like they should be.

Thanks Joe again for the tip.

and to all that get 4WD errors - CHECK YOUR EARTHS!

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
