One thing that could be affecting this is the "G Sensor" (this also takes a reading from ABS unit - no longer in car?)

(found under the centre console, 2 plugs disconnect/reconnect and if it's had a good thump then there will be a red indicator in the window.

Related to 4wd issue asking about earlier ?

Check all your grounding strap points too (just a precaution)

Still think you need to ask the guy you bought it from about these issues. He's bound to have knowledge as it just didn't start to play up the day you bought it.

Edit: Probably need to go from A to Z troubleshooting Attessa system.

sorry to jump in on todays few posts :blush:

Ok I'll have a look at those things, as for the bloke I brought it from, isn't answering or replying, if I can't figure it out I guess ill just have to take it back to his house and hope he's home, giving him benefit of the doubt he's busy this weekend. Such a shit way to start owning a gtr.....

yes - I hear you buddy.

If he's a member on here I am certain he wont leave you in the lurch !!!

be aware also there is no preload in the 32 GTR as there is in the 33/34 GTR's. So it's slow to kick in and then it's all at once.

The OEM G Sensor also has a very slow sample rate which also delays reaction in comparison

I'll check the workshop manual over the next few days and/or send you a link to download (your going to need it I think)

So should I disconnect the plugs on G sensor?? There's no red light on at the moment!

Ignition off - it wont hurt

Likely wont help either but at least you know they're firmly connected

You already checked the Attessa fluid in the boot with engine running ?

Disconnected/reconnected the Attessa ECU in the boot.

Still only the 9 error code ? no others ?

Checked the fuses for the Attessa ?

No rattle in the Attessa ecu (someone recently found a loose screw in theirs)

As I said I'll have a look at the manual later or send a link through for you.

Edit: If it was red it would stay red. It doesn't go on/off.

Sorry - You did check the Power Steering fluid (whilst running). ?

Just getting confused with Hicas (4WS) and Attessa (4WD) system. Attessa resevoir in the boot - doh!

Power steering fluid is full, but 4wd light has come back on I'm not sure if I'm clever enough to figure this out lol

Speak to the guy. See how you go

I now have the workshop Manual open on my desktop

Still trying to remember where I downloaded it from.

Section C3 is what you need. Not sure if your a DIY sort of person

If not then you could get your local JDM garage on to the job

Still I don't know if this is your issue but to me it sounds like it.

Eeeesh - best go see a good mechanic you can TRUST

You must feel like shit :(

Hopefully nothing too serious nor too expensive

Steering/suspension ?

Shit is an understatement

Yeah I guess I will have to take it to mechanic to check out, steering and suspension seem fine, but by the way my lucks going that will all probably fail soon!!

Thanks for the help mate :)

I wish the best for you mate.

It's funny that prior to buying a 2nd hand car you can always contact the owner. After you buy it the unscrupulous ones cant be contacted.

I hope that the guy you bought it from is a stand_up guy or it may be a very hard lesson learnt/paid for.

Ps. industrial paint stripper if you discover you have a need for it conveys disappointment very well to previous dodgy owners other vehicles ;)

So the guy I brought it off got back to me, says he never realised it :s but what ever!

He also informed me that it has a tomei hicas lock kit on it so maybe that has something to do with it, I don't even know what that is so will research it and see of it could be the problem.

Maybe I'll also get a new boss kit just to reduce the source of problems to choose from.

I had a look at the plug that seems fine, the guy that had it before did some research and it would appear some other people have had the same problem and it was because they didn't have genuine Nissan diff oil in it, he can't remember what oil is in it so that's my next thing to check and change tomorrow!

      While doing my tailgate struts I found some rust. Also replaced my bonnet struts. Such a cool satisfaction with that job.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
