with ignition issues fixed you will easily dip into the 10's and 135mph

good first effort though

yeah thanks mate.

the ignition issue was easily fixed up.

Planning on going back to track and lower tyre pressures etc....

but first I have to fix this

Attesa system has given up the ghost - error code 21 throttle sensor is le f**ked

who does work like that

what ever happened to taking pride in your work

backyard butchers

lol I don't know man.

I need to test the voltage of the attessa ecu as per the service manual.

but my voltage meter has grown legs and got the f**k out - cant find the bastard lol

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.

Here is a quick video of the Attessa ECU flashing its goods

I count 21 am I right?

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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
