Of course it's a problem!

Try a search - this problem happens nearly every week.

It never fails to amaze me the negativity of some of the people in these forums. Its too much trouble to assist someone with an answer but its not too much trouble to send a DO A SEARCH post.

FYI I did a search and could find f**k all otherwise I wouldnt have posted at all .

Maybe Im not as computer orientated as others on the forum but as I said I did a search and found nothing to help me

I apologise for jumping on you, but it is a common question. I'll admit that the leaves a bit to be desired in its ability to home in on the key words.

But it never fails to amaze me that someone would question if a warning light indicated a problem. It's not so much a problem that you shouldn't drive the car (like an oil warning light), but it is an indication that the car won't behave as it is supposed to.

The usual answer is that you need to check the fluid level in the reservoir located in the rear RH corner of the boot (behind the side panel). Check the level with ignition "ON". But there may be some other cause that I have "no-eyed deer" how to diagnose and fix.

you can extract a code from the ecu by putting it in diagnostic mode.....you do this by earthing a wire on the diagnositic connector under the dash.....then the light will flash a certain amount of times....i put my money on a low voltage code....this is corrected by fitting a new battery......if you want to clear out the ecu memory,take the battery terminal off overnight

Funny you should say that because I recharged the battery about a week ago because it went flat because the car isnt a daily driver.

Most common problems have been covered above....if the 4wd light is on the ATESSA computer will be flashing the error code for you. Details of each error code are in the 32 gtr manual, not sure if they are identical on the 32.

Make sure the car is charging for one. Im sure if the car sits for weeks on end, without being started - it would only be a matter of time before a new battery get to the same level as your current battery.

Best thing I have seen to fix this is a 900milliamp trickle charger from k-mart, just leave it hooked up whilst your not running it. Will keep your battery happy and also will keep your alarm happy.

Oh for shame. GTR not the DD?

You must be busy Al as we haven't seen you about, and you haven't posted much.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
