problem first occurred a few months ago when i AWD light stayed on for no apparent reason, had it checked by two mechanics nad an auto electrician and they all seem to think its fine with the light on.

Got in the car today and it stayed on for about 2 sec, then turned off.

Got back in a hour or so later and started the car again and the light is back to staying on.

i cant get my head around it

i noticed again something that i noticed the first time the light decided to stay on was when turning slow out of a park space ect the front wheels feel like they keep trying to grip and it feels like a studdering motion, hard to explain.

Any ideas or thoughts much appreciated.

battery is new, My mechanic and the mechanic were i got the car from both put it on the Nissan diag, was coming up with ABS problems, had a new asb unit installed and same problems, Not sure about the error code tho, im pretty sure the AWD works tho, front girps up nicely in the wet.

bump, need to get this fixed asap,

Noticed the problem again yesterday, turning out of a car park with the wheels at full lock the car make fast little jolts and shakes. And what is the Slip light for? it sometimes flickers on when its jolting.

Just an update to my problem, driving home today and was testing a vibrate in the exhaust at high revs so changing at around 7-8k, then i noticed the awd light turn off, jump in the next day and light is on again, so back to the usal problem, then jumping in and staring the car this arvo the awd light flickered on and of realyl quick with a buzzing comming from the ATTESA pump in the, last about 5sec.

Had a quick chat to my mechanic and he sed its one of the solinoids (sp)? whats are they?

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
