ive been having issues with the 4wd in my r32 gtr for a while now and was wondering if anyone has hads similar problems and how they fixed it. most of the time its fine but some times when i start it up the 4wd and the anti-lock lights r on and the car will be in rwd, if i turn the car off stright away without moving and the start it again its still in rwd but ive found that if i move foward a meter or so turn the car off then back on again and every thing is fine. I cant be the only person this has happened to and its really getting annoying so can someone please give me some advice, any help is very much appreciated.

I have had similar occasional problems with my GTS4, but I don't recall exactly what the cause was or how I fixed it (other than persistance until it didn't do it!).

I would first check the fluid in the ATTESA reservoir (in the boot, RH, behind panel). Make sure its between the 2 marks, with Ign ON.

with the light on on the dash open the boot and see what code is being flashed on the atessa ecu.

could be a wheel speed sensor with shit all over it.. :P

The ATESSA resovoir is in the boot on the right, check the fluid is OK in there. You might also need to bleed the fluid.

Whenever the ATESSA warning light is on the ATESSA computer under the rear parcel shelf will be flashing a code on its LED. Check the workshop manual for what the codes mean

When you can, check the underside of your car on the left hand side of your diff and look for a sensor that picks up the teeth on the driveshaft. Check the connectors, wiring and the gap between the sensor pickup and teeth.

    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
    • Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.
    • The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.
    • It would be nice to see the result, but instagram is a click too far
    • That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
