My r32 gtr headlights are on they flicker every few seconds all the time even when idling when i hear a click from a relay in the boot on the passenger side at the back.

so i disconnected the relay and the 4wd warning light comes on so i figured out its the 4wd pressure unit relay.

Is it normal for the pump to run for a second every few seconds

does any one know if there is a check valve to hold the pressure

no oil drips from the car so its not leaking externally

any help on this appreciated.

mine does that every 25 or so seconds.  I think it keeps the acumulator for the attessa unit at 200psi or so (primed to go when it actuates the transfer case clutches).

thanks Sean

im gonna try bleeding it to see if that helps 25 seconds seems more reasonable to me if i can get it to run every 25 ill be happy.

I think i located the bleeding connector in the console ( plug with black/yellow wire?) but it is not running the pump when unplugged . my manual says right side of passenger dashboard, this one is in the centre console near the stereo.

Any one used the bleeding connector?

hey i think it is down in the driver side footwell (by the accelerator from memory). It is easy as. MY old gts4 used to prime when the car started which was easy to hear, couldnt hear it any other time. maybe yours has air in the line, if so this should fix it. make sure you have the resoivoir topped up well as it pumps thru quite fast and empties it out quick!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
