Help with 4WD light in my R32 GTR

[SootyR32]

I hope this isn't a common question as I have used the search feature but to no avail.

I have just finished my rebuild and the only real differences is that I've used a Nismo N1 block and Wiseco 88mm forged pistons. I had some head work done but basically the enigine is still stcok specs.

Anyway, it runs great, though I need to get to grips with how to tune the Wolf 3D, but my problem is that the car is running in 2WD. I've checked all the fuses, wiring etc and all seems to be OK. I've put fresh oil in the diffs and all that stuff as well. Could the Wolf have something to do with it? Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Do you have attessa fluid in the boot ?

If yes, make sure you bleed the air out of the valve near the transfer case

[SootyR32]

Got fluid but I'll try bleeding it. Thanks heaps for the tip.

what fluid goes in to the attessa pump? ATF? where is the reservoir exactly in a 32 GTR?

we use ford power steering fluid...it has the same specs as the fluid they use in japan. Get it from your ford dealer.

reservoir is behind the panel on the drivers side of the boot

when bleeding it...dont forget to disconnect the white connector behind the drivers kick panel.

this puts full power to the pump while you bleed it.

Will do. Didn't get a chance to do it last night, was out on the Wolf trying to learn my way around it. It has every option you could want but seems a bit more complicated than most.

the white connector is that the one with a single green and yellow wire? there is another on with i think 5wires?

how do u bleed it exactly???

[boomtheroom]

anyone?

[RellikZephyr]

did you add an extra wire to power the attesa computer

when i installed my Microtech the 4wd wouldnt work and i tracked it down to...the std comp and attesa comp SHARE a power wire

all i had to do was run an additional power wire to the attesa comp and all is sweet

EDIT: the bleeding procedure is in the manual Page CH-84 (manual page) or P363 (acrobat page)

i have R32 manual if anyone wants

got any pics of where the pressure control switch is in the 32 gtr?

[boomtheroom]

i notice when i turn on the car the fluid level in the boot doesnt move at all,isnt the level meant to drop?

[gazza750]

are you sure the g sensoor hasnt died ?

[boomtheroom]

i get error code 18 (pressure switch) when i first turn on the car but dunno where that switch is

[boomtheroom]

btw where is the gsensor located?

[RellikZephyr]

i believe the G sensor is located under the centre console...somewhere...there

and as for your error code 18

got some cutouts from the manual for ya

a flowchart for the 18 error and the other pic i think is the pressure switch your asking about

hope it helps

you'll get code...13 from memory if it's a g-sensor. g sensor is under the center console, next to the hand brake. undo the screws in that unit and gently lift it up. you'll see the g-sensor as a goldy metal box, a few inches square. there's a little window on the side - red = stuffed (possibly), white = OK (possibly).
