1st Launch In Gtr

[gun32gtr]

hey all i decided today i would give gtr its first launch sence ive had and well all i got was 1st,2nd gear fishing all the way up the road...didnt feel like there was any front wheel drive at all....just left 2 big black marks for 30m or so.

my question is should my gtr with only cat back zorst,hks pods and 0.9bar dom this or should it grip like all f.u.c.k and sit me back?

also have 255 michlin tyres all round with dam good tread left on them....any help would be good?

also checked fuses and there all fine

[gun32gtr]

i also read an article in the new hpi that says the attesa system can get air in it and can cause the system to work incorrect or real slow....but it said this happens from clutch and gboxes being pulled out and stuff?mine has standard clutch but u wouldnt no whats been in there

[Morgs]

It shouldn't do that unless you've got big HP.

Could be a worn out transfer case/clutchs too

[gun32gtr]

yeh i read that also in an old hpi?what would cause the transfercase to wear out?like heaps of thrashing,low oil maybe????

[gun32gtr]

ne one else fellas

[wrxkilla]

presume you dont have a 4wd light lit up on your dash

and its not running in rwd?

[gun32gtr]

no light is off the torque gauge also moves ok as well?ill check some other shit this weekend

[gun32gtr]

is there any sort of test i can do to determine what the prob is?

[Baz]

Maybe you have excessive hp and you dont know it

[gun32gtr]

hahahaha i wish that was the prob

I would bleed the system as it instructs in HPI. This is by far the cheapest option before you start looking elsewhere.

How far does your torque gauge move? from what your saying it should be going nearly all the way to the 50.

Doesn't sound normal, i barely get any wheel spin, just grips and goes.

As already suggested, try bleeding your ATTESA. very simple/cheap to do. But it could be a worn out transfer case, they have clutch packs in them, if its had a lot of ks and lots of thrashing then they could be worn? Don't think you can really test it. Besides getting ti pulled out and looked at.

Ohh make sure you have a front driveshaft it could of been taken out and never put back. Also worth checking to make sure you don't have an ATTESA controller somewhere that is turned 100% to rear.

[gun32gtr]

thanks alot ferni ill check all of the above...torque gauge moves ok but in the hpi it said it should move with power and precise movements,ill bleed the system and see what happens....if i cant get and nissan fluid they say to use what else will to attesa system

[The Dan]

You will be able to get it from Nissan. They keep it in stock.

[gun32gtr]

sweet as then ill get some tomoz,ne 1 done it b4 and have a few tips or thin gs to watch 4 when bleeding the attesa

[Sumo]

How many mates in the trade do you have? I would do a quick check with a diagnostic tool and see if it brings up any errors.

A diagnostic tool will do a simple check as it may be a faulty sensor, and there are quite a few that make up the attessa system. Im not to sure what a rebuild is worth but check the simple stuff first.

[gun32gtr]

how is this diagnostic test performed?i done a few vl turbos b4 with the fault codes and stuff is it the same????thanks sumo

[ferni]

You can use ATF in the ATTESA. Thats all it is.

[gun32gtr]

atf thats auto trans fluid,i got some at home,by the way it says to put 30mm over the maximum mark and would be that already so be ok to drain some out anyway

[The Dan]

Just do it exactly how HPI says. I have read it and it is exactly how the manual describes.

Don't just use ATF. Nissan requires a specific type of ATF.

The next step if the bleed does not work is to check sensors....the bleed is by far the easiest way first.
