Normally on the GTR if one is driving at low speeds and turns the ignition on and off quickly it disengages the 4wd, the light comes on and you are in 2 wd, comming to a stop re engages.I would say that you have a electrical fault , something loose either in ignition or loom to your relay in the box on right inside gaurd in engine bay . Have alook any way , it,s a start .

Failing that down load in PDF the manual which will give you a schematic , which will help you trouble shoot .

Good luck.

I haven't seen the skyline wiring diagram, but with most new cars you can't really trace what operates the lights on the dash as they are usually controlled by a module that controls eleventy billion different other things.

On the GTR's what does the 4wd light indicate? that its engaged or that their is a fault?

If you have a mate with a diagnostic tool it *may* offer some insight to what could be giving problems.

thanks alot guys.

I will check whatever i can, but i do have 2 other friends who have GTR's. Im in Ontario, Canada and there arent many GTR's here so getting help will be a little hard but i have to do my homework and reasearch whatever i can first. In the province of Ontario there are probably around 6 GTR's maybe little more or less. Its very RARE here to have a GTR we could only import cars that are 15 years or older. Anything newer is illegal.

Anyways guys thanks for your help i will check my car tomorrow and see if i still have that 4wd light comming on.

thanks

Check the fluid level in the ATTESSA reservoir, located behind the panel RHS of trunk compartment. Fluid level should be between the 2 markers when the IGN is ON.

If it's low, top with ATF.

Fluid low

Low Voltage (alternator or battery problem)

Or just needs a bleed (2 points, 1 at the transfer case the other above the rear diff)

That covers 99% of the problems. The light indicates an error. The ATESSA unit in the boot has a light that will flash a number of times to indicate what it is, so if it is not one of those problems download the R32 workshop manual and check it out.

hey guys

alright so when i turn on the GTR the steering fluid in the trunk goes down to the MIN line so i added fluid when the car is on the the max line. Today i noticed the 4wd light turned back on. Would the 4wd light come on if i turn on the car and movie it right away?? Well thats what i did and i turned the car off and turned it back on and the light never came back on again. Ill get the lines bleeded when i take it to the shop tomorrow.

thanks for your help!
