I have just taken my car to get some more work done to the exhaust

droped the car off in good working order

they did do some welding on the car with one of those spike preventers on the battery

went to pick the car up and got told it would not go into gear

i took it for a drive and got 100m up the street when a ABS light and 4WD light came on the dash

the A/T light did come on for a bit but went out again

we put the car on the hoist and had a look the transfer case was red hot like it had been slipping

I think they have spiked the ATTESA computer causing a fault where there is no direct drive to any wheels? maybe

it is in a auto workshop at the moment so fingers crossed its not to bad

any advise on what could be wrong would be a great help

ecu reset, just pull the negative lead off the battery - depress the brake pedal a few times to drain any residual power - leave it a few minutes then reconnect the battery lead.

if it still throws codes, then you will have to start chasing the problem.

i'd be trying to think of a cause and effect scenario - so, the fact that they were under the car working on the exhaust - i'd be thinking of things under the car - like maybe they've knocked a plug loose in the side of the trans?

after a trip to trans shop and auto sparkys which was all goo

the problem seemed to be that when they had it on the 2 post hoist apparently the LHR axle had fallen out of the diff

i do find this hard to believe but have order the circlip and seal for the axle and booked it in to get the diff looked at

Didnt see this before, knocking WA. You can talk dick licker. SA is the city of churches and pedophiles. Usefull comments would be more helpful dont you think. Oh thats right you dont read or think so scrap that idea. BTW some ppl like their autos and im using a GTS4 box -not building a track car here. :P

Big Jim take it to someone reputable, i can suggest a handfull and dont let some halfwitt fck with your car. Even better DIY. :blush:

hey mate, i'm pretty sure this wasn't an attack on the OP, more like sexual tension between Kidafa and chef. don't worry about.

      I have replaced the larger coolant temp sensor, i do see a smaller one next to it (looks to be just 1 pin) but i assume that is just for the dash? or should i replace that aswell?

      Check coolant temp sensor ~ symptoms fit the hard hot start/cold start OK scenario --- if sensor goes open circuit, ECU thinks engine is cold and enriches mixture ....works when engine cold, but floods them with rich mixture when hot (Hyundi MAP engines are a bit infamous for this)...

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, starter changed for a spare without much trouble. Neil had kindly left space to get to the top starter motor bolt from above with a long spanner which makes the whole deal much easier, and everything else was neat and easy to get at from underneath. Once the starter was changed everything was good, unplugged the CAS and turned the motor on the starter to make sure everything was free and happy. Onto properly priming the oil and first start. I'd picked up one of these oil prime kit from Boost doc a while back and this was my first time using it.  https://boostdoc.com.au/products/engine-oil-prime-kit?_pos=1&_sid=28c628a65&_ss=r While I'd organised all the fittings to hook it up to my GTR (sump plug to -6 feed and -4 T to tap it in and retain the oil pressure gauge, neither suited on this car as the oil pressure needs to T into 1/8 NPT not -4 and the Aeropro sump has some massive drainplug not that factory whatever it is. So, waiting for a couple of fittings, then I'll prime it and do first start, hopefully next weekend. Other than that going well, there is very little stopping a final alignment, tune then shakedown day

      Also to mention, i just tested the CAS, seems to be working fine, can hear the pulses inbetween 0 and 180 degrees, another mention aswell, when i let the car sit for about a hour today, i went to start it and it almost fired on first crank, then just completely struggled. Could it possibly be blocked injectors?, maybe allowing a little bit of fuel to seep past allowing it it almost start first crank?
