Engine Issues With R34 Gt25...

Hi Guys,

I have had my R34 GT25 for about a year now with nil issues.

So far I have had 2 incidents where whilst the car is going, an orange light comes up on my dash, the car then begins to shudder and the exhaust note changes. The car still changes gears (tiptronic), but if I am to try and accelerate it is greatly restricted.

The first time this happened, the car had been idiling for about 2 minutes and the most recent event was driving home last night travelling at about 8okms. Also when it happened the first time, I took the car home, left it until the afternoon and started it. The car drove for the next several days with nil issues. A friend of mine said it may possibly be an issue with the Catalytic Converter..

I have searched throughout this section but have been unable to find anything which relates.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

Brenton

Thanks heaps Chook, and especially you Danny Boy, i will get the Iridium's today so we can replace them..

Just for anyone who may have the same problem in the future, it was my coils as they were burnt out, apparently due to heat..

This is true... Hey I started the car today and it sort of muffled a bit, the orange light came on again and I just kept driving it, it started with like light shuddering which passed after a street or 2 of spirited driving. It starting to pee me off. It makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with it, maybe its the coils still...aaaarrggggg...

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
