After some "spirited" driving on the weekend my ATTESSA has decided to put most/all the power to the rear wheels. My dash light is off and the torque spilt gauge is working fine but 3rd gear fishies mean something is playing up.

Now I'm assuming that the transfer case is gone, which I'll just replace if it has but I'm crossing my fingers that because the fluid in the tank is a bit low (just under min) it may have got a airlock in the system. I know how to bleed the system and have some nissan fluid to do it and will try on the weekend...

But in the meantime am i just wasting my time because its definatley the transfer case or is it worth bleeding the system?!?

well i did say spirited driving haha

oh yeah the other thing i did that might mess things up was switch the car from 4wd to 2wd while the atessa was working very hard...

would this have done anything to the computer etc to cause this?!?

sorry guys for butting in. I tried bleeding the ATTESA sytem when i first got the car. You have to disconnect the green plug at the kicker plate. It was damn hard and i coulnt disconnect it. Any tips??? As how to disconnect the plug easily? Cos i have topen up the line at the underneath the rear of the transmission. Cos i got a leak on it andd im trying to determine whete is the gasket or an O ring on the fitting. But before i take the line out i have to make sure that im able to bleed the system after. Lemme know. thanks

The transfer case uses a wet clutch system. These clutch plates only have a finite life, and 10+ years is well and truly in the "finite" catagory.

When you rebuild the case you can squeeze some extra plates in there (along with a couple of extra "tricks") to give a really quick uptake. Combine this with an ATESSA controller and your R32 will be transformed on the track.

ok i finally got around to bleeding the system on the weekend... its seems to be fine and have no air in it.

BUT

while i was changing it i noticed that the attessa pumps would kick in for no reason every 10 sec or so when car was just idling, you can clearly hear a relay clicking and then when bleeding from the nipple above the diff a tiny little burst would come out with what looked like air.

plus on top of this the fluid resivoir has the top section and then the bottom section, with a spacer between. in all systems other than mine the bottom section has a air space in it... mine doesnt

any comments suggestions thoughts?!?

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
