Hi guys need some help. my engine warning light was on for about five minutes today and it has me really worried.

I have a 1998 R34 GTT it has done about 98 and a half thousand k's and have had no trouble with it what so ever.

from what i can tell all the oils and coolants are at max and it never heats up over half way.

Runs great and cant work out what would cause it to com on. has me a bit worried because i just had the valve body

Sent off to mv automatics and had a new shift kit done which im really happy with. Only thing is a couple of days after i got

it done i realised the engine light was on for a little while longer than it should be. do you think it has done something

to my motor? i was also thinking maybe it has some thing to do with the fact that im almost at 100,000 k's i know some cars

are programmed 2 have the light on 2 remind you to get a service.

any help would be really, really appreciated

lee.

I've seen the same problem in mates r34. Best thing is to get it checked out by the mechanics. Although i heard that it could be a number of things depending on how long the light is on? Whether it is intermittent? how many flashes etc

did the car feel like it lost any power at all? do u have an aftermarket exhaust? if u do did the sound of the exhaust change????

possibly could be a coilpack as well, just depends, really cause the coilpacks are known to go in the 34's - i should know i lost 3 in 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!

but defintley get the ecu hooked up to find the error code.

im not sure what light comes on in skylines.....but often if your O2 is failing it will come on..... yer as they said...just take it to nissan....they plug it into their computer thing....and it will come up with a fault code....better not to take it to a private mechanic, coz they rnt goin to have the nissan program

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
