R33 GTR VSpec Attessa Bleeding Issue

Anyone had this issue before?:

i was trying to bleed the attessa (r33 gtr vspec) and the strange issue that I have is that the bleed mode of the pump does not work. Ive done it 2 years ago and it was working. so when i disconnect the white connector under the dash the pump only starts if i turn ignition on, but when opening the bleeders it wont start on loss of pressure. if the connector is connected the pump won't do anything no matter what.

also strange is that there is only very little fluid coming through the diff bleeder, as there is no pressure. On the other hand there is good pressure on the transfercase bleeder.

I have no ECU connected, never touched any wiring on the attessa sytem and fluid level is ok.

anyone can help?

I'm not sure I understand. When checking the factory service manual it explicitly says you must have the ignition switch on in order to have the pump run. Have you checked for codes on the ATTESA unit? I wonder if your pressure switch is working as intended. The bleeder mode is super simple, just running the pump to reach target pressure and switching off once it does. I'm pretty sure you don't need anything from the ECU either. Lack of fluid flow in your diff might be something clogged in the system but I haven't tried bleeding a known good system yet to see how much fluid should come out.

thanks for the reply!

yes IGN was on when trying it and I also know how the bleed mode should work. My problem is that the pump wont turn on if I open the bleeder. Normally I should give it 1 sec blurps to bleed but it simply does not do anything when I open any bleeder.

Where can I see codes on the attessa unit? like directly on the unit in the trunk?

clogging shouldnt be an issue as the system was not taken apart. i only diconnected the line to the back of the trans as I had the engine out for a rebuild.

Codes should blink out on the control unit in the trunk yes. You might be able to try and ground terminal 4 on the Consult connector without the engine running to get the codes to blink out, or maybe it'll just do it regardless of whether any terminals are jumpered: https://sites.google.com/site/tyndago/gt-rattesainfrormation

I would also try and see what's going on with your pressure switch with a multimeter.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
