R32 GTR abs and 4wd lights stay on

Hey everyone, I know this isn't a new topic but I'm fairly new to the Skyline game and I haven't been able to find a solution in other posts. I have a 1990 R32 GTR and both the ABS and 4WD lights come on right away when turning the car on. They do not go away until the car is turned off. The Attessa ecu isn't showing any codes, the fluid level is perfect with no air bubbles in the reservoir, and the fuses are fine. I've been losing sleep over this. It worked when I got the car a year ago. Just looking for guidance at this point. Thanks in advance!

GTRs are notoriously sensitive to voltage. Even if the car can start on the battery, the ECUs might be seeing high charge rates necessary to replenish the battery after starting as some sort of error.

Get a new battery.

As above, start by changing the battery terminals (if they're factory crappy ones), clean up all the contacts, change the earth strap and clean up the attachment points (one on the body near the battery, one on the engine block).

Then I'd look at the ATTESA computer, open it up and see if the boards are burnt. Check the voltages at the plugs (wiring diagram would be handy) as well when the car is running.

Have you checked the 4wd fuse In the engine bay



I myself have wondered about this. I have taken a quick look at it but I couldn't figure out how to check if it was bad or not. I assume I'll need to check the continuity on the little prongs but also if it is bad, idk where to get those fuses. I've never seen ones like that before. I'll have to do some digging.

    • Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
    • Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful  
    • Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
