Hi All,

Recently had a problem with my front torque gauge where the needle is not moving and showing torque distribution to the fwd. So i assume it's running on rwd. The funny thing is that there's no 4WD error lights on and i check the rear attesa ecu, there's no red led light blinking, i have check the g sensor and the indicator is ok, not in red color, check the attesa rear reservoir when the ignition on, fluids on the right level. when i switch on the ignitiion on i can hear the attesa pump is working.

i recently changed the gear box oil and front diff oil. gear box oil i used redline heavy shockproof. front diff i sue the same oil as well. but after reading through this forum or gtro found that shockproof oil doesnt do well in diff, so i changed to castrol manual transmission oil, and problem still there.

so i am really confuse as where the problem lies or is the front torque gauge not working? othes gauges in the console working fine though.

Please help.

Thanks

you can try a bleed procedure just to see if the gauge works when the pump works. Take the drivers footwell trim out, there's a white plug that you unclip to activate the attessa bleed. Turn the ignition on (not engine), wait for fuel pump to finish priming (this might also be what you hear as I don't think the attessa pump primes on ignition) then unplug- you'll hear the attessa pump prime and the gauge should move too (up to half way). If your attessa system is not working and hasn't for a while the awd warning light can burn out- it should light up with the key turned to ignition.

Mate just because the g sensor indicator is showing ok doesn't mean that its working properly. The indicator is only a shock loading indicator and the sensor can still be faulty as this happened to me. Good luck with it anyway mate

the best bet now i think is do a bleed on the systems and see how it goes. Need to refer back to the manual for the full procedures. anybody knows which page? i did turn the ign on and unplug the two terminal on the g sensor and 4wd light pop out right after. plug it in the light still there and need to turn ign off and on then it's gone.

Have you had ur wheels balanced lately, or a wheel alignment?

Mine did the same thing after a dodgy alignment, the 4wd was definalty working cause I launched the thing hard on the highway lol

Anyway I didn't worry about it too much untill a couple of months later when I bought some new tyres and had a new alignment and balance etc then all of a sudden it started working again

nope, i triple check all four rims are 17x9jj off+15. even tyre size are the same 255/40R17. just that the rear tyres are newer than the front and i measured the tyres width with a ruler, the rear is wider around 0.5cm.

Might be same size, but if they are different manufacturer or different model by same manufacturer, then they could be slightly different. The width is generally "nominal". It's the rolling diameter / circumference that is important.

It was odd that you got the problem you had. Ordinarily, the symptoms would be a jerkiness in the AWD system, because ATTESSA sees the slightly smaller (older) rears "slipping"" relative to the (newer) fronts.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
