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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
