i think what Fitzpatrick Speed Works is tryn to say is that wheel sensors travel thought the ABS which would make sense if one wheel starts to move slower when braking then it maybe be lock so release some pressure. This works the other way round when it gos thought the attesa system when the Rear wheels move faster then the front the system winds more and more front wheel drive in. I think Fitzpatrick Speed Works is say that the senors which run to the ABS need to be pluged straight into the attessa loom.This would finsh the circuit at the moment the computer is looking for the input form the ABS to see if it is using these senors when there is no reply i guess it go's into limp mode.

hope thats right Fitzpatrick Speed Works please tell me if im wrong so i can delete the post dont want to stuff up a good thread

No brad you are on the money. The wheel sensors from memory go through a relay and box that I think is meant for the ABS then go back to the ecu what I did is cut the wires from there source the ETS ECU and made new ones right to the front to the wheels sensors. The error code wont show problems with the sensors as they wont work without pulse and pulse back from and to the computer if you get me its saying there is no pulse it must be the computers fault>>

ok well seeing as they are not going to try the method they first thought i will post it up.

now apparently the fwd section the part that selects fwd and deselects it, if you get a bolt and screw it into the centre that way its on all the time and you can get rid off all the associated gear and save some weight.

they thought this was a bad idea seeing as its a circuit car and they would like the attesa to control how much 4wd is used as it knows best.

What are you talking about mate its not a bloody pajero?????

There is fwd section, what, do you know how GTR awd system works or what??? Go and have a look under your "dads" gtr or whatever then come back and either explain what you are talking about better or realise you dont know what you where talking about, not flaming you here but lets try and keep the thread informative and actually helpful

flame all you want its a free world.

i dont know the name of the part/parts.

its in the FWD part, the cog i guess you would say where the chain goes onto you know the part that disengages when you hit limp mode from a wheel lock up and stops the front wheels from moving i assume that its a few clutches or something that move in and out, well screwing a scre into that part so its on all the time. they decided not too do it as it wouldnt allow for the system too change the amount of fwd which they would like too keep.

man now im confusing myself here :lol:

BTW having a look underneath it wouldnt help anyway i would need to look inside you mean :lol:

sss hoon dude stick to stuff you know as you dont know shit about the GTR awd system, the system is hydaulic drive clutch pack and you dont want to lock it up full time as it WILL tear the front diff apart as you will not have any slip between front and rear which becomes a problem went tight cornering (lowish speed) as the front wheels cut a wider arc then the rear and bang goes the weak link the front diff, you might ask why wrx etc dont have a problem but they have a lsd or open diff arrangement betwwen frt and rear NOT a LOCKER. I broke a front diff at the drags running a hydraulic lockup system by just turning off the corner at the end of the strip before releasing the system.

mmm hence i said that i dont know what its called as its not my car my dad is the head mechanic on it not me :lol: and that is y they didnt go ahead with it as i already said that it wouldnt do what it was supposed to do.it was just a idea that they tossed up to stop the fwd from disengagin when the wheels locked up, they have another solution now(not sure if it will work though)

as for school holidays i wouldnt know i not in school aint been for some time now.

ok well does anyone here know how to trick the attesa ecu to think that everything is ok and not to go into limp mode and cut the fwd section? instead of attacking :lol:

Ok, we have sorted out the problems tonight (well, Dave did it all actually). We traced the 4WD dash light being on down to the single pin attesa bleed connector wire under the dash. It was plugged in, so the 4WD dash light was on, hence no FWD engagement. Error code 8 is simply due to the ABS unit being unplugged and had nothing to do with the 4WD light being on.

:P

Thanks Dave :D

Charlie.

4WD light Duncan. The ABS light is also on but this is due to the removal of the ABS unit. There wasn't a direct connection between the two. The 4WD not engaging was the problem and we thought that it was ABS-related due to the Attesa ecu controlling/using both. In the end it was the most simple of solutions.

The ABS globe has been removed. I also have the HICAS light on.

so if you disconect the light the 4wd stays on is that what your saying?

SSS_Hoon

No, if you connect this single pin wire, then the 4WD dash light turns on. This was the problem. We disconnected it and the 4WD light turned off (after restarting the car).

yes after many headsrcatching sessions.

hears what it was all about.

tps adjustment to get .4volts

hooking up the attessa throttle wire to the microtech throttle signal.

unplugging the f**king air bleed conector

apart from that happy days. now for some power making :(

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
