Just had the car remapped (drives so much better now) but the 4wd light has come on and we can't work out why. As far as I know the 4wd is controlled by a separate ecu, at least it is in the Skyline, so I was presuming it's still the case in the Stagea? This is on a series 1 rs4 that's had a manual gearbox conversion. Not had a problem with the 4wd system before, any help would be appreciated.

No gone for the Link G4 ecu.Don't think anything that was done would have affected the throttle position sensor, how would that affect the 4wd?

Yeah could be coincidence, but the light came on as soon as the new ecu was plugged in.

I have the same problem. Well sort of anyway.

My 4wd light comes on probably 8/10 times I drive the car. Sometimes straight away, some times not at all... I have the rs4s with a 'mines' ecu.

I am putting a new set of wheels on this Friday and getting a wheel alignment so if that doesn't fix it (doubt it will) then further investigation is needed.

I am keen to see if there is known problems that cause this as well.

Hey mate,

Was it tuned on a 2wd dyno? Might have clutch pack problem if you did...

Can you jack it up so all 4 wheels are off the ground? If you can, spin the rear wheels. If the front wheels turn as you do, you still have pressure in the ATTESA system. If not, you might be in strife. Best case, the clutches took a beating but are ok and you just need to get some more fluid in the system, check the reservoir in the drivers side rear.

I have the R33, R34 GTR service manual if you can get access to a consult box; it will tell you whats going on...

good luck, pm me if you need anything.

Ayvon, if your car is the R33 GTR, it's pin 56

Link/ViPec and some other computers "share" the TPS signal from the TPS sensor instead of relying it which inturn lowers the voltage at the various control units, the 34 feels it the most because of the MFD, this is an issue I'm having at the moment and the cure, for me atleast, is a buffer to up the voltages back to correct levels

stagea rs4s s2 run the 25neo
i have replaced factory ecu now im having intermittent 4wd issues im trying to figure out what pinout / wire was suplying the 4wd ecu with tps signal
at this point i was going to t it off straight from tps

MFD, Multi Function Display, R34 GTR

where are located ?, I have a guy making me a voltage chaser, basically it takes a high imp input and puts out a low imp out put so it can supply the right signal voltage for more things to use, on mine I'm going to cut it in to the wire leaving the ecu, he made me a PWM switching unit for my fuel pump and it works perfectly

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
