One thing that could be affecting this is the "G Sensor" (this also takes a reading from ABS unit - no longer in car?)

(found under the centre console, 2 plugs disconnect/reconnect and if it's had a good thump then there will be a red indicator in the window.

Related to 4wd issue asking about earlier ?

Check all your grounding strap points too (just a precaution)

Still think you need to ask the guy you bought it from about these issues. He's bound to have knowledge as it just didn't start to play up the day you bought it.

Edit: Probably need to go from A to Z troubleshooting Attessa system.

sorry to jump in on todays few posts :blush:

Ok I'll have a look at those things, as for the bloke I brought it from, isn't answering or replying, if I can't figure it out I guess ill just have to take it back to his house and hope he's home, giving him benefit of the doubt he's busy this weekend. Such a shit way to start owning a gtr.....

yes - I hear you buddy.

If he's a member on here I am certain he wont leave you in the lurch !!!

be aware also there is no preload in the 32 GTR as there is in the 33/34 GTR's. So it's slow to kick in and then it's all at once.

The OEM G Sensor also has a very slow sample rate which also delays reaction in comparison

I'll check the workshop manual over the next few days and/or send you a link to download (your going to need it I think)

So should I disconnect the plugs on G sensor?? There's no red light on at the moment!

Ignition off - it wont hurt

Likely wont help either but at least you know they're firmly connected

You already checked the Attessa fluid in the boot with engine running ?

Disconnected/reconnected the Attessa ECU in the boot.

Still only the 9 error code ? no others ?

Checked the fuses for the Attessa ?

No rattle in the Attessa ecu (someone recently found a loose screw in theirs)

As I said I'll have a look at the manual later or send a link through for you.

Edit: If it was red it would stay red. It doesn't go on/off.

Sorry - You did check the Power Steering fluid (whilst running). ?

Just getting confused with Hicas (4WS) and Attessa (4WD) system. Attessa resevoir in the boot - doh!

Power steering fluid is full, but 4wd light has come back on I'm not sure if I'm clever enough to figure this out lol

Speak to the guy. See how you go

I now have the workshop Manual open on my desktop

Still trying to remember where I downloaded it from.

Section C3 is what you need. Not sure if your a DIY sort of person

If not then you could get your local JDM garage on to the job

Still I don't know if this is your issue but to me it sounds like it.

Eeeesh - best go see a good mechanic you can TRUST

You must feel like shit :(

Hopefully nothing too serious nor too expensive

Steering/suspension ?

Shit is an understatement

Yeah I guess I will have to take it to mechanic to check out, steering and suspension seem fine, but by the way my lucks going that will all probably fail soon!!

Thanks for the help mate :)

I wish the best for you mate.

It's funny that prior to buying a 2nd hand car you can always contact the owner. After you buy it the unscrupulous ones cant be contacted.

I hope that the guy you bought it from is a stand_up guy or it may be a very hard lesson learnt/paid for.

Ps. industrial paint stripper if you discover you have a need for it conveys disappointment very well to previous dodgy owners other vehicles ;)

So the guy I brought it off got back to me, says he never realised it :s but what ever!

He also informed me that it has a tomei hicas lock kit on it so maybe that has something to do with it, I don't even know what that is so will research it and see of it could be the problem.

Maybe I'll also get a new boss kit just to reduce the source of problems to choose from.

I had a look at the plug that seems fine, the guy that had it before did some research and it would appear some other people have had the same problem and it was because they didn't have genuine Nissan diff oil in it, he can't remember what oil is in it so that's my next thing to check and change tomorrow!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
