My R34 Needs Help!

[MyR3408]

Hello guys,

Having a really big problem with my ride (R34 GT) and I dont know whats wrong.

Everytime i step on it before it reaches 3000rpm its sounds like a WRX(brbrbrbrbr..) and car shakes a bit and very poor acceleration no go at all. sometimes when its on first gear its alright sometimes not but mostly when it comes to 2nd to 3rd its really bad. by the way my car is Auto tiptronic.

can anyone help me and tell me what the problem is?

at least i might have an idea when i go to the repair shop so they wont rip me off.

Can someone recommend me a good mechanic to have a look at my car and knows about skylines.

Oh btw Im in Brisbane

Thanks in advance!

Do any lights come up on the dash?

could be a few things, but i've had this happened to me before. check your spark plugs, timing belt, intercooler pumping, transmission and even check your battery. it's hard to say, but obviously something is limiting its power and not allowing it to reach its potential. no a serious thing i don't think, but get it checked out by a mechanic that knows about sports cars not any mechanic as they will rip you off and the reality is, sometimes they might not even know what to do.

good luck mate.

coils

get a set of splitfires from nengun and replace them all , even if its 1 coil they suck and the rest will go eventually

is there a cheaper alternative for spitfire? $600 is a lot for me atm >.<

Genuine Nissan ones are more from memory and don't even bother with 2nd hands as you will end up back where you started...Splitfires are the cheapest option pretty much.

www.perfectrun.com.au have them at a better price

[MyR3408]

I just wanna double check that this one is the one i should get.

[n15m0]

R34GTT part number for Splitfires is SF-DIS-008 And yes above are the Splitfires, just make sure you get the correct one to suit ur car.

please check ur spark plugs before going out and spending $600 on coil packs. it could be one dodgy plug. pull them out, clean them and check the gap using filler gauges (or is it feeler gauges???) if not plugs check conection on coils and also clean coil contacts (remove plug end and clean right down) remember electricity is like water it flow to easiest route first, so if bad contacts on coil.....u know whats going to happen.
