I have posted on every Skyline Forum known to man about my 4wd light problem and yes in the technical section too!

It intermittently comes on. Never first thing in the morning. Only after I drive for awhile and it only seems to come on at idle.

If it does come on what I do is when i am stationary I turn the engine off and on quickly and drive straight away and that keeps it off until I idle long again.

The fluid is at the correct level.

What I did notice was when I was changin the clutch there was a small leak from the 4wd system I think. Could this force air into the system?

Do you know how to fix this and if so how much? Any tips?

BTW how much do you charge to bleed the brakes.

[Mr Miagi]

Dr GTR,

It sounds like you have air in the system.

When you changed the clutch did you bleed the hydraulic line that screws into the back of the gearbox?

If not let me know and I will explain how.

[REDGTT]

Hello Mr Miagi. Thankyou for you response.

When they did the clutch I only took a look. I notice fluid leak from the 4wd line next to geabox.

The problem was before the change of clutch.

Yes I would like to know how to bleed the 4wd system step for step.

I appreciate your help so thankyou in Advance Mr Miagi!

I just did my R32 GTR two days ago and this stopped the light coming on. (I assume the R33 is the same)

Remove the drivers side foot kick panel.

Turn ignition to on.

Behind the kick panel you will find a white plug which can be pulled apart. Disconnect it.

Dive under the car and where the hydraulic line is screwed into the rear of the gearbox you will find a bleed nipple (It points up towards the floor)

With a 10mm ring spanner crack open and then quickly shut the bleed nipple 6 times.

On mine I noticed air came out on the first two cracks open.

This fixed my 4WD light problem.

Reconnect the plug and turn off ignition.

Let me know how you go.

Thankyou Mr Miagi. Thankyou so much for the information./

I will take it to the my friend the mechanic and let him do it tomorrow for me. (Saturday)

I will let you know how it goes.

I owe you one.

Thanks again.

Pete if you are there make sure you take note of this for your GTR too.

Wow, Minh is such a polite person outside of the NSW section

[REDGTT]

Mr Miagi I have open the kick panel to just take a quick look and I cant find the White plug yuou mentioned of. If I look abit higher there are two white plugs with different coloured wires coming out of them. Should I just disconnect both before I bleed?

[Mr Miagi]

Minh,

I will check and confirm tomorrow.

Mr Miagi . pulling this plug. iS it to disable the 4wd system temporarily?

Is so I suppose I can just pull the 4wd fuse out from the back on the r33.

[REDGTT]

Ok just Spoke to GTRKEN while doing my car.

The bleeding has certainly make it much better.

th 4WD light use to come on all the time but now it doesnt come on hardly.

I couldnt find the white plug maybe because R33 was in a different place.

So I just bled using gravity as GTR ken mentioned.

So I bled it as much as I could. Went for a drive and did it again.

Light still comes on rarely. So I will drive until tuesday and will bleed it again on my friends Hoist.

Will update on tuesday.

Thanks again Ken. Much appreciated. Truly are a gentlemen.

[REDGTT]

Oh Also I have check the ECU that sits in the boot and the error code is 75.

If anybody has a workshop manual? Thanks.

[REDGTT]

TTT

[REDGTT]

OK Problem totally fixed.

For R33 GTR

Undo both nippes.

One at the front where gearbox ends and follow the line to one at the rear on the driver side

Got inside car and my friend hoisted the car up.

He got me to start the car and turn it off a few times and this turned on the 4wd pump.

first two car starts the nipples farted like there was no tomorrow!

Had quite a bit of air.

Filled it back up while still bleeding until no more farting occured.

Car is beautiful now. So happy got 4wd back!

Thanks to Ken GTR and MR MIagi!
