Hi there, it's skidkid's wife here, hoping you might be able to help. On sunday took my car s2 98 auto to the shops, and I noticed when I was about half way there the 4wd light was on, on the dash. When I stopped at a set of traffic lights it seemed to be idoling faster than normal, and when it was my turn at the lights, took off, and it wouldn't change out of 1st gear (had it just in normal with the gear stick at 3), got to the shop, turned the car off and did what I had to do. When it came time to go home it again seemed to be idoling too fast, put in 'D' and off I tried to go, however, I noticed the a/t light flashing and that stayed on for about 20 secs, it was heavy to steer, and started to fluctuate between fast idoling and just about stalling. Stopped the card thought 'shit what am I gonna do, bathurst is on and Jase won't come and get me', started the car again, whacked it in trip-tronic mode and she was all happy again. Been no issues yesterday, but tonight on the way home same thing, 4wd light came on (not flashing or anything) then went off, only on for maybe 10 seconds, stopped at the pub and when I started it againidoling fast and really heavy to steer. Jase took it for a drive tonight cause it's only been happening to me and it would n't change gears for him (only in trip-tronic) and was heavy to steer and no light on. Anyone got any ideas, or should I just put a match to it?????

when it the idle fluxuates like that we call it hunting (...for idle)

i had a similar problem when my car was hunting it was a cracked breather hose on top of the tappet covers it was hard to find only noticed when i removed the hose. They will also hunt when a vacume line is blocked. i think it was daren on here that had the fault codes for the attessa system he might have ones for the auto to send him a msg i cecked my atessa system to if the 4wd light keeps coming on there a funny critta i chased mine for ages kept coming up with diffrent codes everytime i fixed one it came up with another.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
