I have posted on every Skyline Forum known to man about my 4wd light problem and yes in the technical section too!

It intermittently comes on. Never first thing in the morning. Only after I drive for awhile and it only seems to come on at idle.

If it does come on what I do is when i am stationary I turn the engine off and on quickly and drive straight away and that keeps it off until I idle long again.

The fluid is at the correct level.

What I did notice was when I was changin the clutch there was a small leak from the 4wd system I think. Could this force air into the system?

Do you know how to fix this and if so how much? Any tips?

BTW how much do you charge to bleed the brakes.

Hello Mr Miagi. Thankyou for you response.

When they did the clutch I only took a look. I notice fluid leak from the 4wd line next to geabox.

The problem was before the change of clutch.

Yes I would like to know how to bleed the 4wd system step for step.

I appreciate your help so thankyou in Advance Mr Miagi!

I just did my R32 GTR two days ago and this stopped the light coming on. (I assume the R33 is the same)

Remove the drivers side foot kick panel.

Turn ignition to on.

Behind the kick panel you will find a white plug which can be pulled apart. Disconnect it.

Dive under the car and where the hydraulic line is screwed into the rear of the gearbox you will find a bleed nipple (It points up towards the floor)

With a 10mm ring spanner crack open and then quickly shut the bleed nipple 6 times.

On mine I noticed air came out on the first two cracks open.

This fixed my 4WD light problem.

Reconnect the plug and turn off ignition.

Let me know how you go.

Ok just Spoke to GTRKEN while doing my car.

The bleeding has certainly make it much better.

th 4WD light use to come on all the time but now it doesnt come on hardly.

I couldnt find the white plug maybe because R33 was in a different place.

So I just bled using gravity as GTR ken mentioned.

So I bled it as much as I could. Went for a drive and did it again.

Light still comes on rarely. So I will drive until tuesday and will bleed it again on my friends Hoist.

Will update on tuesday.

Thanks again Ken. Much appreciated. Truly are a gentlemen. :mad:

OK Problem totally fixed.

For R33 GTR

Undo both nippes.

One at the front where gearbox ends and follow the line to one at the rear on the driver side

Got inside car and my friend hoisted the car up.

He got me to start the car and turn it off a few times and this turned on the 4wd pump.

first two car starts the nipples farted like there was no tomorrow!

Had quite a bit of air.

Filled it back up while still bleeding until no more farting occured.

Car is beautiful now. So happy got 4wd back!

Thanks to Ken GTR and MR MIagi!

MOderator can you please archive this thread? Will come in handy!

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
