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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
