Hi guys

Long story short I’ve installed a new Subframe on my Gtr at the workshop and they have failed to appropriately bleed the ATESSA system AFTER DISCONNECTING, THE LSD.

Does the LSD and the four-wheel-drive system share both the same reservoir?

And can I bleed the LSD by using the switch plug in the footWELL of the driver side of the car that is used to bleed the 4WD system?

Same reservoir but you need to also bleed the hydraulic fluid from the top of the rear diff. There are multiple bleed points in the system, you need to bleed all of them for it to work as intended. You can run the pump to bleed the system the same way as is described in the ATTESA bleed guides.

Beautiful appreciate that response !

so same reservoir that’s great.

 

do I actually have to use compressed air to the cap of the reservoir or will just activating it through the drivers footwell as is done for the Atessa system fine?

I’ve read there is a seperate plug to be disconnected for the Alsd where the pump mechanism is behind drivers wheel? Or is that false?

Yeah so the bleed nipple on top of diff and also under the LSD pump behind the driver wheel?

cheers

The factory service manual mentions you can bleed the system by attaching a vacuum pump to the cap and activating the maintenance bleed mode, over about 20 minutes all air bubbles should get vacuumed out of the system:

You can also try just activating the maintenance bleed mode as described in the manual and then crack open the bleed valves in the system. I haven't actively looked for the bleeder on the diff and pump but supposedly it's in there.

I was looking at the rear diff section again and found the actual formal bleed procedure, if you don't have a Consult it boils down to cycling the pump with the ATTESA air bleed connector and opening the bleeder on the diff:

Mate I love you haha I really appreciate the solid information. I’ve referred to the sticky on this topic but it’s a bit vague and outdated.

 

yeah so I’ve worked out the LSD and 4wd both work off the same core atessa pump which is located behind rear driver side wheel right? So first bleed the pump, bleed the diff, and then bleed the transfer case. Rinse repeat if required?

 

here I was under the impression that the differential had its own reservoir and pump, but in reality on the V spec, the system is combined. so I wonder if the V spec has an uprated pump system to service the LSD and 4wd?

If it's uprated vs anything at all, it would be the diff only pump from the RWD cars. The ATESSA pump is waaaay more beefy than what is required to run the diff. I'd suspect that adding the diff duty to it would not even make it realise that it had extra work to do.

New update

 

i followed the procedure, bled everything including diff and transfer case, plenty of air came out, car definitely feels a lot better

 

i have this new thing happening. So right after I bleed the car or I open the brown plug and it activates the pump, the level is at max line and the air gap is 5mm

 

if I leave the car sitting around un started for a day, the liquid rises back to like 3-4 above max line

 

Now with the reservoir way above max, as soon as I go open the bleed fuse, it sucks all the liquid back down to the max line

 

so is there air still in the system making it do that? Don’t see why it should rise back

Bled the system more from reservoir and solved now 👌🏾

Good to hear. Any air bubbles in the system will drastically affect A-LSD and ATTESA response time. I personally have never noticed the ATTESA reservoir doing what you said either.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
