Hey, well to my enjoyment, my car problems have come back. Just to recap, im getting an AFM problem. This is caused by either the ECU or the Loom connection. I got the ECU checked over today for any faulty circuits etc and it seems all the soldering is fine. This by all means doesnt mean that the ECU is fine thou, one of the chips could of burnt out or somethin. Anyway by being able to test another ECU, this will tell me if it is indeed my ECU which is faulty or the loom connection.

Anyhelp greatly appreciated hint hint steve :(

Thanks Dean

Yeah sorry Dean, I acutally gave my ECU away about 6 months ago to someone who was in a similar position to you :D

Have you had all the electrics checked out? Just ask because if something caused the ecu to choke, putting a new ecu in may result in the same problem. Seems pretty strange that something like an ecu would go tits up, as there are no moving parts and are pretty well protected where they live. You must be getting pretty frustrated by now, all this dicking around?

For a second hand stock ecu, you could perhaps try one of the shops around that deal in parts or get front cuts, ask them if you can try before you buy? Tuning shops might have them sitting around too, where I got my power fc fitted, they had like 1/2 dozen in a box from people that upgraded and didnt want them anymore - but that is in the west.

Sorry I cant be of more help

Hmm Daim, well i still think the problems in the loom. The reason why is if i take the ECU out of its mounting position, and place it at different angles, it works sometimes, like tonite, i was driving to town, at the petrol station i stopped at, i moved it into a different angle and it started to work for 10mins, then it went gay again. Also another really weird thing is if i press on the wiring loom at a certain postion about 2 cms from the center nut thing that holds it in, the engine dies. Like ill press it and instantaneously the engine will die just like turning it off.

Steve: Thanks matey, yeh this is gettin really annoying. Its strange how this has happened, and im betting its something really small. I cant see it being the ECU but i still have to make sure of it.

I dont know what else i can do.... Maybe i HAVE to take the car back to the auto elec :P

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
