I also have an R34 GTT. I've had it since just before chrissy and this has only happened to me twice since buying the car. I know that the slip and tcs lights were definately on, but can't remember if the malfunction one was lit up as well. I just kept driving and noticed that they switched off after 15 mins or so by themselves on both occassions... i didn't notice if the exhaust was sounding weird though...

I'd also like to know why this is, if anyone can shed some light on it???

I have exactly the same fault on my wifes R34GTT Tiptronic. It used to be once a month or so when it would play up and by turning the ignition off and then restarting it after ten seconds would clear it.........untill the next time. Now sometime it plays up on starting from cold and you can restart it ten times or more, before it will run cleanly without the lights coming on.

I have checked the fault codes with a consult and get "Ignition Signal - Primary"

Suspecting the Cam Angle Sensor, I swapped that for a known good one and..............it still plays up.

Any ideas?

Its the coilpacks guys, happens to every R34 that still runs the standard coilpacks. The thread starter mentioned it sounds funny from the exhaust......im guessing it sounds like a WRX? Reason for this is it has dropped a cylinder due to a coil not working.

My advice fork over for some splitfires and never have the problem again.

Well 6 new coil packs and it has run fine for the last two months, thanks for the advice :(

Wow, must be the coilpacks then... I have exactly the same issues with my R33 GTS-T ... if you read my thread you will find out that I have nearly exactly the same issues... I think I'm running standard coilpacks and hence this issue....

What brand do you recommend and how much?

No worries mate glad to help.

Spunkmonkey everyone here that replaces the factory coils uses Splitfires as I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread. Not sure what the price is on them but I know Nengun sell thm plus check the group buys.

Cheers

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
