My daily driver is an 11/01 Nissan Maxima S A33 with a VQ30DE 3 litre motor.

I purchased it S/H when it had 85,000 km on it. Overall it is a satisfactory unit.

However at 118,000 km the idle speed assembly windings burnt out, along with the idle speed controller on the ECU. When this happened the motor idled at around 1800 rpm with a lot of surging. After a lot of searching the trouble was found and the damaged parts replaced.

Now at 125,000 it has done the same thing again! Anyone have any ideas on what could be the cause? I run it partly on 92RON fuel and also on 95RON. My mechanic says the lower grade fuel should not be making any difference. What do you guys think?

sounds like something is earthing that shouldnt, id suggest taking it to a sparkie :)

Thanks for that- I will follow up that lead. In the meantime if any other members have had the same experience and details of how they solved the problem I would be pleased to hear from them.

Maybe I'm biassed, but I think it is a cut above the usual Falcodore.

Sure maybe the first one failed due to old age- but the second 7,000 km later? That's the challenge to diagnose the trouble.

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
