So basically my car randomly starts binding asif I have my centre diff locked, It seems to get triggered the most when I’m parking (back & fourths with sharp steering) or turning sharp really slowly, or sometimes it’s just happens when I’m driving, so when this “lock” feeling is active my car shudders when accelerating asif the car is still locked in awd. I’ve had this issue ever since I have had the car tuned with a GTR 33 box, I’ve rebuilt gearbox, replace clutch packs with hood condition ones, reconditioned prop shaft, full hard race suspension. My car used to be auto also but diffs are still the same. I’m using haltech elite 2500 with the harness adapter. I used a RWD TPS, would that affect the signal to the atessa in anyway?

Does it go away if you disable the transfer case?

I remember Jetwreck had a similar problem with his M35, don't remember him ever getting to the bottom of it.

What do you mean you " had the car tuned with a GTR 33 box,". You don't list a car in your profile, is it a 33 GTR or something else?

And, is this the 4wd harness adapter you are talking about https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-038001-nissan-attesa-4wd-tps-adaptor/

And, what do you mean by a RWD TPS, what is it out of?

*edit* one more question....what is the rear diff?

Yes, goes away when I pull the front shaft 

It would be good to test what happens if you disconnect both the failsafe and main ETS solenoid on the actuator block. If it goes away then for some reason it's commanding AWD when it shouldn't. Which could mean your tires are unevenly worn. If it still binds also de-power the pump. If that fixes it then something is wrong with your actuator block leaking pump pressure when it shouldn't. If all of that doesn't work then it has to be your transfer case preload or something like that.

I would assume S2 c34 awd with a FFP. Can’t run the S2 throttle body because they are very long and was probably an auto converted to manual.  I have a haltech plug and play harness and don’t run the attessa awd adapter. Maybe the output is configured incorrectly 

Yeah I've got FFP on my manual converted s1 and the standard throttle and TPS were OK, and 4wd is working fine with the Link with no adapter (although, the shop may have done the famous "secret squirrel tweak")

I have a c34 rs4v , I have the plug play adapter harness so the 2500 elite plugs into the factory loom. Guy who tuned car mentioned that part you’ve listed when I told him about the shudder, but he ended up saying it’s built into the adapter harness.. unsure of diff but it should be factory, I’ve never changed it. Car came from Japan at 70xxx kms. TPS is out of a RWD stagea.

Is the actuator block located on the gearbox ? My gearbox is recently rebuilt, replaced clutch packs with good condition ones also.

Actuator block on the R33 is crammed opposite the exhaust under the steel trunk panel. On an R32 you can just pull the ATTESA fuses and it will deactivate the pump.

This is my stagea with r33 gearbox, I just had the box rebuilt not long ago, but we have found out this part is leaking, could that cause the symptoms I’m having?

The part you have circled is the attessa actuator to transfer case flange. It is worth fixing the leak but that is unlikely to be your problem. pCH-90 of the r32 manual says to seal it with "recommended sealing fluid 518" which I understand is loctite 518

No, a leak if anything will just bleed off transfer case pressure which should lessen the symptoms rather than worsen it. The actuator block lives somewhere above the fuel tank or rear diff. Looks like this:

Factory diff as far as I know.. unless someone changed it in Japan

Attessa actuator to transfer case flange fixed

That’s above the rear diff I’m sure

Can I access the actuator to disconnect it without dropping the diff, and I’ve used 2 different set of wheels and it shakes and binds with both, and how can you de-power the pump, also if none of that works could my diff be getting stuck somehow?

You probably can get to it without dropping the diff, it's just going to require some quality time. Wear good thick gloves and a long sleeved shirt that you don't mind getting ruined.

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
