I don't think you actually have the manual as they are pretty hard to come by and are hundreds of pages not just a few. Previous owner somehow got one from NZ. Does the AT light come on for 2s and then blink for 8s when starting the car? If so that indicates that a fault has been detected and you need to get it checked. The car can turn on that light and lock the transmission into 3rd gear and will do so if it detects a serious problem. It can also do so when "excessive wheelspin is detected". I've only ever seen that once when I was driving down the parkway with no wheelspin - go figure. The AT is rather susceptible to faults and mine had quite a few solenoids replaced before I bought it.

May be ok with the pod if you unscrew the intake and ensure the pod is bolted into place as mine got passed that way.

Help Wanted Finding Suitable Skyline For Steadyeddie
NJR 34GTT replied to Michele's topic in Australian Capital Territory
R34s when lightly modded are not high maintenance at all - in my opinion. Maintenance costs over the last 3 years have been very similar to my previous car a Liberty. Things you will go through fast: tyres, brake pads. Services every 5k km have been sub $200. If under 30, insurance will be a killer, budget close to $2k for full comprehensive even with a good driving record. -
Hello Nathan, I must apologise for your disturbing call from the police which would have been officer John Oliver Hawkins but the fact of the matter is that it was proven in court that I was doing approximately and no more than 90klph(''excessive speeds'') on a dual lane quiet road in Mitchell checking for pinging after having set the timing during the major service. This must be checked on the road even if I had a dyno, I don't know where he got checking the transmission from. It was proven in court that I was not speeding using video evidence taken from the police vehicle and from his witness an RTA guy that was with him and subsequently thrown out, I'm sure he didn't call you to tell you that he is a liar. I will ring you once I get your number from work to explain why I was followed and harassed in the first place which has nothing to do with the way I drive or anyones car. All evidence is at my solicitors(he would not give me the video of the alleged offence) and you are welcome to it. Regards, John I guess there are explanations after all.

Where to get Skyline Serviced
NJR 34GTT replied to r33skylinegtst's topic in Australian Capital Territory
AFRs were low 10s under WOT which is too low imo. I admit he did fix some of the issues I just don't feel like it was a 100% job. It came back running less boost as asked with the same power so it was positive from that regard. I'm pretty sure Trojan would have access to a dyno, just not sure which etc. Give John a call and ask. I found him always helpful and knowledgeable. -
Where to get Skyline Serviced
NJR 34GTT replied to r33skylinegtst's topic in Australian Capital Territory
They didn't dyno it as they didn't touch the tune at all. Car has been tuned by DTS and Autotech and not overly happy with the job either place did. DTS tune was on the car when I got it and was horrid. Peter at Autotech did a good job ironing out many of the issues but left it running far too rich (which in hindsight may probably caused by the intake/exhaust leaks). Cost was significantly higher than for a standard 100k km service as I had a lot of labour to get the turbo exhaust gasket replaced. There was also additional costs for a new water pump and other odds and ends that you might not necessarily need replacing. Final price was $2200 which was a little higher than what I expected. But I do have an itemised bill and all the old parts they replaced to confirm they didn't charge for work not done. -

No the tune was fine to 204rwkw last dyno and wasn't touched. Exhaust manifold gasket was leaking and so was an intercooler joint. -

Big thumbs up to Trojan who did my 100k km service. Fixed what I wanted and a few other bits and pieces and got a 25% increase in fuel economy with seemingly more power and response. -
Thanks mate. Was admiring the dish on your rear wheels, will have to get me some new wheels some day!

I have an r33/r34 one sitting in my garage that I can't fit due to the location of my boost controller. I got it off these forums about a year ago and it has sat gathering dust ever since. You do need the stock air intake section of the factory intake to fit them though. PM me if you are possibly interested in it for a small fee.

Actually that was me that time, apologies I had some serious business happen and I wasn't in the best state of mind. As for the other times, that wasn't me I believe. There are 3-4 white GT-Ts in Canberra now.

I sincerely hope that wasn't the red S badge that was recently stolen off my front bar.

Looking For A Special R34gtt Auto Owner/s
NJR 34GTT replied to satanic's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Not really impressed with the unichip at all. No-one in Canberra seems to be able to tune them appropriately, which could be half my problem. Have had a few re-tunes done and the power curve is still spikey and it's running very rich. I'm quite sick of cleaning the black soot off my rear bar. AFR is fine under normal acceleration but under WOT the AFR is ridiculous. -

R34 Rb25 Neo Info Please!

All this has been coverened numerous times in depth, use the search function. -
Definitely not safe if any of the supporting systems are stock. Although I'm surprised you didn't hit boost/fuel cut which kicks in around that level. And if it is stock, you won't be making anymore power at 14psi than at 11-12psi because the turbo is far out of its efficiency range.

Not as bad as the white VX with the huge Nismo sticker on the front window. Maybe a very confused owner?

No, it was me he saw Very nice 31 you have there.

Sorry man, didn't even spot you til I drove past. Mate in the car told me off too, said you waved, but by then it was too late.

R34 Skyline 1998 Gt-t For Dismantling
NJR 34GTT replied to sky88's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
Will buy the little plastic bit that sits at the back of the centre console near back seat passenger feet. Mine dissappeared somewhere before I got the car. Let me know what's a reasonable price. -
Think I should make a suggestion. Instead of pouring all those modifications into an aging car. Save the money instead, just keep it in working order and use the money down the track a little to buy something more modern. Modding old cars is a big time sink, I wish I hadn't spent so much on my old car. Congrats on the ride.
