R32 GTR '90

Start it up and the 4wd and ABS lights are on from the get go. Hicas light comes on after 10 minutes of driving.

No fault codes on the ecu. I have absolutely no idea where to go from here

It was all fuses and when I bought the car is had no dash cluster, so one has been installed For some reason I think this could be an issue, eg wrong year dash installed playing with electronics.

I know there is information out there somewhere about how to check the 4wd and ABS sensors, but Ive searched high and low, no luck.

ANY help is appreciated

Have you checked the fluids?

Also, I think on R32 there are 2 different dash maybe you have late model dash on early model?

Try sourcing early model dash and see how you go.

Checked fluids, Both are all good. I would try a different dash If it wasnt so hard to get my hands on them. If I can get one, Ill try it. If anybody has had a problem similar would be great to hear about it.

Check all your earths make sure every things tight and clean. I had a loose alternator earth which was causing my 4wd and ABS lights to come on took me about a week to track the fault down was very painful... Hope its something easy...

Battery is old, but is fully charged. I have another I can try it
When the battery gets old, it loses a lot of its charge during the start process. The alternator puts a lot of charge back into the system to replenish the battery. The ECUs detect this higher than normal charge rate and generate an error condition.

Get a new battery.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
