When I park my R34 face up on my driveway at home (steep, but not too bad - see picture) it misses a beat every few seconds.

I hooked up a fuel mixture display kit from Jaycar and you can see when it misses it goes Lean then back to normal and the pattern continues..

I'm just wondering whether there's something wrong with my car or whether it's a design fault over the whole line of 34's (or atleast Series 1)

The car runs perfect in every other situation except this one..

does it only do it on your driveway or have you ever seen it do it on a flat road? Have you mucked around with the timing at all? Whens the last time you checked your plugs? Dirty plugs or plugs that have been gapped too close can cause what you are mentioning but the driveway shouldnt really effect that. My bros r33 does a simular thing at idle but it will do it on a flat surface, but i think that has something to do with the timing he has smashed into it.

When it happens is your car low on fuel?

The pump is towards the front of the fuel tank!

yeah but on that driveway it wouldnt make that much of a difference, if he was on the fuel light for 100km then it started to it then maybe

i could be wrong but i dont think the fuel pump is at the front on the r34s, i only say this because i have a really steep downward sloping driveway and once i was really low on fuel and i couldnt get it started on the slope, i had to roll down to the bottom where it was flat and then it came to life.

what fuel pump do you have? if its stock how many km on the car? whens the last time the fuel filter was changed?

The stock fuel pump..car has around 35,000km & fuel filter only changed 2,000km ago.

My Missus' driveway is ridiculously steep & my car starts normally as if it were on a flat surface

Mine's a series 1 aswell. Your car just might be a sped afterall :sorcerer: :glare:

Beh! ^ :glare:

When it comes time to change my pod filter I'm gonna try putting my standard airbox back in because I actually can't remember the car doing it with it standard..we'll see how that goes I suppose.

sort of off topic but my turbo sss does the same on my driveway and its on a hill. i was told it could be coz my pump is to the front of the tank and apprently fuel pumps need constant pressure in the lines and its missing coz its getting some air in the line? something like that.... mine doesnt seem to do it when ive just filled up but does when its either half or almost empty. also been told could be my quad throttle bodies not shutting completely dunno mite help..

Tried putting my standard airbox back in but of course that didn't change anything - I just hoped it would for some reason.

I've been told it could be something to do with a "roll over" sensor? Dunno if the 34's have them or not..haven't been able to find any info..

    • 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?
    • 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
