just trying to help a friend out, he recently bought his r32 gtr and on the weekend he changed his brake fluid as the car didnt stop on the first pump of the peddle, so after bleeding the brakes his abs light and 4wd light are permanatly on, he tried a few more time with no luck, brakes are still weak and lights are still on, checked all fuses and all still ok, so wondering if anyone has any idea whats happening with his dodgy gtr.

I've got the same problem with my R32 GTR. The 4WD light is on because the car is only in rwd (it constantly lights up in 2nd with medium pedal presure) but I haven't sussed why the ABS light is on.

in the boot theres a silver kinda box under your parcel tray, with the key to on, check the error LED on this box, then look up the error number on the net or post it here.

I diagnosed my problem (save as above - no abs and no 4wd) as a faulty rear left speed sensor on the diff, replaced the sensors with a spare i had and problem solvered.

The error LED should help you

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
