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.

Thanks guys, I forgot to mention that I have checked the ecu in the boot, there are no codes flashing. I'll try the battery and let you know if that fixes it.

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.

Take the lid off the ecu and see if there's any fluid leaking out of the capacitors or what ever they are,they are 30 years old and start to leak fluid.took mine to the local tv tech and he replaced the leaking ones .problem fixed.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
