So basically my car randomly starts binding asif I have my centre diff locked, It seems to get triggered the most when I’m parking (back & fourths with sharp steering) or turning sharp really slowly, or sometimes it’s just happens when I’m driving, so when this “lock” feeling is active my car shudders when accelerating asif the car is still locked in awd. I’ve had this issue ever since I have had the car tuned with a GTR 33 box, I’ve rebuilt gearbox, replace clutch packs with hood condition ones, reconditioned prop shaft, full hard race suspension. My car used to be auto also but diffs are still the same. I’m using haltech elite 2500 with the harness adapter. I used a RWD TPS, would that affect the signal to the atessa in anyway?

Does it go away if you disable the transfer case?

I remember Jetwreck had a similar problem with his M35, don't remember him ever getting to the bottom of it.

What do you mean you " had the car tuned with a GTR 33 box,". You don't list a car in your profile, is it a 33 GTR or something else?

And, is this the 4wd harness adapter you are talking about https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-038001-nissan-attesa-4wd-tps-adaptor/

And, what do you mean by a RWD TPS, what is it out of?

*edit* one more question....what is the rear diff?

Yes, goes away when I pull the front shaft 

It would be good to test what happens if you disconnect both the failsafe and main ETS solenoid on the actuator block. If it goes away then for some reason it's commanding AWD when it shouldn't. Which could mean your tires are unevenly worn. If it still binds also de-power the pump. If that fixes it then something is wrong with your actuator block leaking pump pressure when it shouldn't. If all of that doesn't work then it has to be your transfer case preload or something like that.

I would assume S2 c34 awd with a FFP. Can’t run the S2 throttle body because they are very long and was probably an auto converted to manual.  I have a haltech plug and play harness and don’t run the attessa awd adapter. Maybe the output is configured incorrectly 

Yeah I've got FFP on my manual converted s1 and the standard throttle and TPS were OK, and 4wd is working fine with the Link with no adapter (although, the shop may have done the famous "secret squirrel tweak")

I have a c34 rs4v , I have the plug play adapter harness so the 2500 elite plugs into the factory loom. Guy who tuned car mentioned that part you’ve listed when I told him about the shudder, but he ended up saying it’s built into the adapter harness.. unsure of diff but it should be factory, I’ve never changed it. Car came from Japan at 70xxx kms. TPS is out of a RWD stagea.

Is the actuator block located on the gearbox ? My gearbox is recently rebuilt, replaced clutch packs with good condition ones also.

Actuator block on the R33 is crammed opposite the exhaust under the steel trunk panel. On an R32 you can just pull the ATTESA fuses and it will deactivate the pump.

This is my stagea with r33 gearbox, I just had the box rebuilt not long ago, but we have found out this part is leaking, could that cause the symptoms I’m having?

The part you have circled is the attessa actuator to transfer case flange. It is worth fixing the leak but that is unlikely to be your problem. pCH-90 of the r32 manual says to seal it with "recommended sealing fluid 518" which I understand is loctite 518

No, a leak if anything will just bleed off transfer case pressure which should lessen the symptoms rather than worsen it. The actuator block lives somewhere above the fuel tank or rear diff. Looks like this:

Factory diff as far as I know.. unless someone changed it in Japan

Attessa actuator to transfer case flange fixed

That’s above the rear diff I’m sure

Can I access the actuator to disconnect it without dropping the diff, and I’ve used 2 different set of wheels and it shakes and binds with both, and how can you de-power the pump, also if none of that works could my diff be getting stuck somehow?

You probably can get to it without dropping the diff, it's just going to require some quality time. Wear good thick gloves and a long sleeved shirt that you don't mind getting ruined.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
