Guys

for the past couple of days (maybe a week) my R32 GTR has been doing something quite odd

If I start the car and back out of a parking bay (@work) the AWD warning light comes on - it's seems to be dropping into the diag mode somehow – but I thought the ignition needed to be off for that to happen

It only seems to happen if a turn the car quickly. What I mean is when I back straight out of my drive way @ home where I reverse for about 7-10 meters before turning the wheel - it does not seem to happen.

If I turn the car off - and restart - all is fine

what the ?

NB – I have fit 8mm wheel spacers on all four wheels in the past few weeks – could this be causing me a problem

when the warning light is on open the boot and check the light on the ATTESA computer it will tell you what the problem is.  A list of the error codes are in the workshop manual

OK Duncan

did this at last - when I checked the computer in the boot - all I could see was a steady and consistent flash (about 1 per second) – I stoped counting @ about 20

I do not have the WSM - so what does this mean ?

could the wheel spacers cause this

what about uneven tyer ware (front to rear) ?

Its page C-67 and C-68 in the manual, and unfortunatley the flashes go to 29 :D so get back in the boot!

there is a 5 second gap between cycles but you'll need to get that count right.

There used to be a heap of links to the manual on here, maybe try a search?

Yep, the ETS hydraulic unit is the pump sitting above the diff. So it might be that has failed but I suspect its more likely to be a voltage problem, the system is very sensitive to voltage. You need to make sure you have at least 12v and a good earth, might be time to talk to an auto electrican

    • 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.
