R33 GTR VSpec Attessa Bleeding Issue

Anyone had this issue before?:

i was trying to bleed the attessa (r33 gtr vspec) and the strange issue that I have is that the bleed mode of the pump does not work. Ive done it 2 years ago and it was working. so when i disconnect the white connector under the dash the pump only starts if i turn ignition on, but when opening the bleeders it wont start on loss of pressure. if the connector is connected the pump won't do anything no matter what.

also strange is that there is only very little fluid coming through the diff bleeder, as there is no pressure. On the other hand there is good pressure on the transfercase bleeder.

I have no ECU connected, never touched any wiring on the attessa sytem and fluid level is ok.

anyone can help?

I'm not sure I understand. When checking the factory service manual it explicitly says you must have the ignition switch on in order to have the pump run. Have you checked for codes on the ATTESA unit? I wonder if your pressure switch is working as intended. The bleeder mode is super simple, just running the pump to reach target pressure and switching off once it does. I'm pretty sure you don't need anything from the ECU either. Lack of fluid flow in your diff might be something clogged in the system but I haven't tried bleeding a known good system yet to see how much fluid should come out.

thanks for the reply!

yes IGN was on when trying it and I also know how the bleed mode should work. My problem is that the pump wont turn on if I open the bleeder. Normally I should give it 1 sec blurps to bleed but it simply does not do anything when I open any bleeder.

Where can I see codes on the attessa unit? like directly on the unit in the trunk?

clogging shouldnt be an issue as the system was not taken apart. i only diconnected the line to the back of the trans as I had the engine out for a rebuild.

Codes should blink out on the control unit in the trunk yes. You might be able to try and ground terminal 4 on the Consult connector without the engine running to get the codes to blink out, or maybe it'll just do it regardless of whether any terminals are jumpered: https://sites.google.com/site/tyndago/gt-rattesainfrormation

I would also try and see what's going on with your pressure switch with a multimeter.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
