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

brenton its the guy near your parents here, remember with the orange r33? give us a call and il come have a look mate. been a while, last time i saw you we spoke on the side of the road at unanderra LOL my number is 0422 085 966

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...

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
