Gtr Gearbox Rear Bleed Nipple?

[SKiT_R31]

Hey All,

Just replaced the gearbox in my car, whats the deal with the bleed nipple in the picture I've attached (please ignore the smurf blood, haven't cleaned yet) how do you bleed it and what is it for?

Cheers

That's the bleed nipple for the ATTESSA system. There is a black and yellow wire connected together behind the drivers kick panel, disconnect them and it puts the ATTESSA computer into bleed mode. You then bleed the system the same way as brakes, but instead of pumping the brake pedal you'll hear the ATTESSA pump priming itself. Obviously this is all done with the ignition on. Also make sure you connect the black and yellow wire back together before you drive it otherwise you'll stuff the front diff and transfercase clutch packs.

i hope you haven't put smurfs blood in the gearstick hole.

Lol smurfs blood.

I have been wondering about this bleeding thing as well.

Its a procedure and a half, but for the life of me i have been trying and trying to get my relay in the rear trunk to stop clicking, how can i bleed this system properly ?

Made a call to Abbey motorsport in uk and mark mentioned that if i loosen the hose that connects to the clutch pack pressure system then i can bleed it and then re fit the hose and bleed a little more and it should be fine.

Hmmmm makes me wonder how cause ive been trying 3 times already and cant seem to get rid of this clicking in the boot.

Hope to hear from you guys thanks .

....why?

[doo doo]

Gearstick hole is part of the transfer case for the AWD, not the gear box. You use auto trans fluid for the transfer case (wet clutch system), not gearbox oil.

ugh f**k. So how can i get oil in the gearbox? the filler bolt is stripped.......

[GTRsean]

You might have to get a bolt head welded onto the filler nut...

There are 2 gearbox beathers/overflow hoses, i know at least one is for the transfer case, any chance the second one is for the gearbox...?

yep the one closest to the engine is the gearbox breather. going to be very hard to fill the gearbox through it. Take the car to a gearbox specialist to have the filler repaired is the best bet as this filler also is used as a fluid measure when filling.

i guessed you put the smurfs blood in the transfer case by the location of the dribble in your pic.

[SKiT_R31]

You guess correct, i am new to GTR's/AWD's... in a normal RB box, you pour oil in the stick if you cant get it in from the side

Glad i asked about the bleed nipple

I filled it with oil through the breather, forcing it with an large oil syringe, it took some time, and my arms are pretty sore, but she's in.

Also drained and flushed the transfer case and put the correct amount of NISSAN MATIC D oil in it, so all is apples

Thanks for everyone's input
