thank you for you replies....

From what i saw today ( i had a auto sparkie looking at it with me ) he tested the relay out of the car and it was clicking.... he tested the pump in the car somehow through the relay... i'm guessing by just bridging accross the big wires... that was i believe, just to make sure the pump was not the problem. He traced the relay wire ( i'm guessing pin3 ) back to the ets c/u...i think it was a brown wire... thats why he was saying he thinks there is no signal to the relay..... possibly no siganl from ets c/u... surely it must be something simple......

Ok it sounds like the relay is working. If you have a look at the schematic it shows a wire coming from the control unit from pin26 and see if a negative is coming out which goes to pin 4 on the relay. You can see on the relay the other side of the coil goes to a positive.

The problem will be either an earth from the C U or the wire is broken.

Show your auto elec the diagram. Should be able to work out simple control circuit wiring and work out if its at the C U

Thanks for the diagram Impul

If you find any good information from your auto electrician please post it up, it was a relay issue I was having, replaced it and now it's a intermittent issue...

If you have time Brad I would love to drive up to yours and go through it?!?

Yeah I have time but what did you want to go through? I missed what IT is.

Just looking to find out what the intermittent issue might be before I get Iain from here to send me another pump to try... I guess will start from scratch :)

Give me a call :thumbsup:

Thank you again for your replies....... but this is really going to make your brains hurt now... a friend of mine and i have spent another couple of hours on this problem today.......

When you unplug the ETS relay under the air intake box you get 12v accross the plug of coil ( pins 3 and 4 ).... but when you plug in the relay, the voltage accross pins 3 and 4 drops to almost nothing instantly.

We again tested the relay out of the car by putting 12v accross pins 3 and 4 and the relay works fine. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????

This thread seems to have the most info. I'm getting intermittent 4WD light coming on. Fluid level is well over the High line when car is off, when I start it up (haven't even put it into gear yet), the level drops to just above Low. Sound right?

That sounds a bit odd, the level might change a tiny bit when the pump starts; but not a huge amount.

I've been wrong before, but It sounds like you might have air trapped, and the pump is filling the line, compressing the air and filling the line.

When the pump stops, the pressurised pocket of air is expanding, pushing the fluid back out of the line; forcing the fluid back into the reservoir much like a hydraulic accumulator.

Turned the synchro mode and there's a groaning noise every time I turn it onto either synchro or snow. That said it sounds like it may be the hinge that switches modes (I remember reading something about this?).

Any info on bleeding?

Don't know if the M<35 is the same as C34 but -

I get the car up on stands and run the engine - crack the bleeder at the back of the gearbox extension and keep the reservoir in the boot topped up with atf. Then there is another bleeder on top of the atessa pump above the diff.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
