Hey fellas,

I just bled the Attessa in my R33 GTR. It's pretty odd, I have to have the car idle to have it run the pump. The pump would only come on every 2-3 minutes or so even with the bleed valve open the whole time. Also there isn't any "surge" when the pump comes on.

This is the odd bit when I open the bleed valve at the end of the transmission it just trickles out - very little, maybe 1-2 mm stream from the hose. It was constant and didn't show signs of air, but it was sure slow. It took like 4-5 minutes to put 20mm in a mayonnaise jar.

Then I did the rear one on top of the rear diff - and it only dripped out. I couldn't ever get a full stream. I let it run for like 10-15 minutes and only got about a 1/3 of my jar full.

Is my pump shot? Maybe that is why I have no front power transfer.

definatelty not right mate. I don't know exactly how much it should pump in what time, but it is a lot more than 5min for 20mm.

you don't have a 4wd light on right? if not its probably the pump or the pump's wiring which is the problem.....could be expensive to fix

Thanks Duncan, I kind of thought so. The 4wd light doesn't come on and the centre console gauge works and says power is being transferred but I think I finally found my problem.

I'll try to get it into a shop to have them check the Attessa pump and system, but I think it may be stuffed.

Were you leaving the car running or turning it on and off?

I just put mine into ignition, let it pump it out for 5 or 10seconds and then shut if off again for a while. As recommended by a tutorial somewhere on here...

It did not take long before the entire container was pumped out....AWD system felt better after putting fresh fluid in :)

I think it was only 5 or 6 times for all the fluid to disappear.

      What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
