My GTS4 4wd is playing up. Can anyone help me please.

So far I have done the following to try and diagnose whats wrong.

I have jacked the rear wheels off the ground and slowly dropped the clutch to see if the front wheels try to move. They didnt move at all, had the rears spinning quite fast and no action front front what-so-ever.

The 4WD light on the dash is not coming on when I start the car, and never comes on at all for that matter.

I just checked the attessa ecu and I get 21 flashes, and then repeats.

looking at this link: http://www.sussexjapclub.com/nissan-attess...des-vt2810.html

21: Throttle sensor or circuit

Anyone know how to interpret this? or how I can fix it?

Remove the tps sensor, give it a clean & replace it. If that fails try swapping out the sensor with a known good one.

Well i didnt remove it (yet) but I disconnected the plug and used to multimeter to test it. At 0 throttle it sits at zero ohms then when I open the throttle it starts to increase resistance and then goes open circuit almost straight away.. I open the throttle almost the whole way and it read 18ohms for about half a second then goes open circuit again.

Is there a globe in the dashboard for the fault light?

do you mean is there a bulb in the dash for 4wd? I dont know what you mean by globe sorry.

Bulb = globe.

So without me going to check does the TPS check out as the manual says it should?

Sorry man, I don't want to state the obvious but did you check the fuse in the engine bay?

Yeah I'm messing around with that fuse alot lately, its not blown and I'm sure it works because I can hear something like the "attessa primer"?? when ever the fuse is plugged in, so I'm pritty sure the fuse is doing its job. I know in the past (when my 4wd used to work) I used a fuse I bought from a gas station but that didnt work for some reason, had to source this fuse from a nissan wrecker.

I dont have a manual and I lost my copy I had on this computer.

But this link is quite helpful: http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/forums/sh...hlight=tps+test

I think I was looking at the idle contacts, hence the weird readings

I found the other connector disconnected, which id imagine is the variable resistor one but cant see what it connects to.

not yet mitch but I've been trying.

Can anyone tell me the path the rear loom takes to give tps signals to the attessa. I've checked the passengers side footwell but cant see the wires I'm after.

Also, does anyone know if GTS4's use an ECCS control unit the same as the r32 gtr's do? If they do, where is it?

cheers.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
