Just had the car remapped (drives so much better now) but the 4wd light has come on and we can't work out why. As far as I know the 4wd is controlled by a separate ecu, at least it is in the Skyline, so I was presuming it's still the case in the Stagea? This is on a series 1 rs4 that's had a manual gearbox conversion. Not had a problem with the 4wd system before, any help would be appreciated.

No gone for the Link G4 ecu.Don't think anything that was done would have affected the throttle position sensor, how would that affect the 4wd?

Yeah could be coincidence, but the light came on as soon as the new ecu was plugged in.

I have the same problem. Well sort of anyway.

My 4wd light comes on probably 8/10 times I drive the car. Sometimes straight away, some times not at all... I have the rs4s with a 'mines' ecu.

I am putting a new set of wheels on this Friday and getting a wheel alignment so if that doesn't fix it (doubt it will) then further investigation is needed.

I am keen to see if there is known problems that cause this as well.

Hey mate,

Was it tuned on a 2wd dyno? Might have clutch pack problem if you did...

Can you jack it up so all 4 wheels are off the ground? If you can, spin the rear wheels. If the front wheels turn as you do, you still have pressure in the ATTESA system. If not, you might be in strife. Best case, the clutches took a beating but are ok and you just need to get some more fluid in the system, check the reservoir in the drivers side rear.

I have the R33, R34 GTR service manual if you can get access to a consult box; it will tell you whats going on...

good luck, pm me if you need anything.

Ayvon, if your car is the R33 GTR, it's pin 56

Link/ViPec and some other computers "share" the TPS signal from the TPS sensor instead of relying it which inturn lowers the voltage at the various control units, the 34 feels it the most because of the MFD, this is an issue I'm having at the moment and the cure, for me atleast, is a buffer to up the voltages back to correct levels

MFD, Multi Function Display, R34 GTR

where are located ?, I have a guy making me a voltage chaser, basically it takes a high imp input and puts out a low imp out put so it can supply the right signal voltage for more things to use, on mine I'm going to cut it in to the wire leaving the ecu, he made me a PWM switching unit for my fuel pump and it works perfectly

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
