Hi guys.... just wondering if any of you guys have had any problems with the 4WD system???

When ever I start my car the 4WD light will show up on the dash. The problem is that when I switch off my engine, I can hear this buzzing sound at the rear driver side quarter panel. Its not the fuel pump sound... sounds is related to the 4WD system. It will keep buzzing until it drains the battery totally flat.

I've checked the fuse for the 4WD - all ok. If I pull it out the car will just stall.

I am thinking this maybe an electrical problem.... any advice, any recommendation???

Or any fix to it, before i take it to an auto electrician or mechanic...

Help!

Hi guys....

The problem is not with the battery, as I have replaced with a brand new one. Also replaced the alternator as well.

When I start my engine, the 4WD will come on, you will hear a buzzing noise from the rear of the car.... right above the diff.

It appears to be a controller module for the 4WD system.

I have taken out the fuse for the 4WD totally iliminating the 4WD driving system. Since then my battery hasn't gone flat, but I am left with just 2WD mode.....

Have any of you guys have this sorta problem before??? I am thinking it could be something small... something electrical... stuffed regulator or something....

Any recommendation of who should I bring it to????

HELP!!!!!

The buzzing noise at startup is the 4WD pump priming the 4WD system. If the pump keeps working, presumably the pressure sensor is kaput, because it is not getting the "alright, alright, enough pressure then" signal.

Thanks for the info... I think you are definately right though... thats what it sounds like.

Is this pressure sensor unit on located on top of the rear diff?

Any idea on where I can get this fix in the sydney area? And the likely cost of the unit.....

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
