I have a problem with the attessa sysytem on my r33 gtr, just like to know if anyone has had this prob before. When the attessa system is working in 4wd it locks up the rear diff when turning corners. (We have checked to see if the diff was locked ,but its a standard one.)

When we put the car into rear wheel drive we dont have any probs with the diff. (the way we did this is dissconnected the fuse out of the attessa system) . I was told the rear pump of the attessa system is pushing all the pressure to the rear diff ,which causes it to lock the rear diff.

Does anyone know a fix for this? or have any suggestion?

I assume it is a GTR Vspec.

Removing the fuse in a R33 does not completely disengage the 4wd.

What do you mean by in 4wd ?

They are normally 2 wheel drive and only 4 wd when accelerating briskly or drifting.

Sounds like the normal LSD action you get from a mechanical diff LSD .

Have you recently changed the diff oil or have you ever changed the diff oil ?

Cheers

advan replaced the standard diff with another standard diff, because they thought it could of been a locked diff. But what they found was the diff was actually a standard one. The attessa system is causing it to lock and making it a constant 4wd. Something in the system is telling it to lock the diffs full time. So what we have done is pulled the fuse out and now it operates perfect in rwd.

MA160802 - yepp, don't leave it in 2wd otherwise you'll run the risk of burning out the clutchpacks.

The R33 GTR's area a little different to the R32 GTR's. When you pull the fuse on a R33 GTR it will still transfer a small amount of torque to the front wheels. Best thing to do is disconnect the front drive shaft - but I wouldn't drive around like that !

How long have you had the car for?

I'd been looking to see if you've got a HKS ATTESSA controler in your car, or something simular.

You might be suprised to find a little after market electronic controler that they may have put on in Japan and never took off.

MA160802,

I don't know a great deal about the R33 models but the R32 GTR and GTS4 have a ETS control unit under the under the rear parcel shelf accessible from the boot, this control unit has a LED on it to display system fault codes but these codes only display on the unit if the 4WD light on the dash stays on during driving.

So if your 4WD light lights up on the dash while driving and if you find out the codes the R32 ones I have might be similar to the R33 and I might be able to tell you whats wrong.

Although the ABS goes through the same system so maybe the problem is related to the ABS system too. (ie. wheel speed sensor)

Just trying to help!

I had a similar problem in my GTS4 - turned out to be one of the connections onto the TPS wasn't made properly.

I had ridiculous symptoms like 35kg-m torque to the front wheels while reversing out the driveway!

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
