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?!?

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
