also wen you turn on the reds there is a seperate red A/T oil temp light but the one that is always coming on is same amber colour as the check engine light.

when i used to start up mine the check engine light would come on and my car would shake badly and other times it would be fine then after a little bit the light would come back on but still seem ok. it ended up being the coilpacks i bought some splitfire ones and its all good now.

99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% it's the coil packs.

Upgrade to Splitfires (check the Trader sections here for people selling them for very good prices)

VERY, VERY common problem on R34's for the coil-packs to go. Thankfully though, it's an easy fix

Does it only happen when the car warms up?

Could be your car going into limp mode if your afm is playing up.

I just changed one on a mates R33. Was fine when car was cold but as soon as the computer had allowed time for the element in the afm get to temp, if it isnt getting any reading or an incorrect one from the afm, it would go into limp mode. It shuddered and carried on. It also put out a fair bit of smoke.

If you can get someone with the same afm to come round just try theres on your car. They have a coloured sticker on them, just make sure they are the same colour. Theres a pink one and another colour.

My mate who was having the problem had a R33 had a pink sticker afm, we put my mates afm from his R34 GTT in it and the car went fine.

He got a replacement form Just Jap.

its afm - air flow meter. Follow the airbox (where the air filter is), its the first thing bolted to it with a plug attached to it. You'll see a nice fine wire running accross the diameter.

r&r will retard ign and richen mixtures. It'll run like a dog, blow lots of smoke, have little power, and not let u above a certain rpm

If it is the coilpacks, u can fix this easy if you have an a/m ecu by increasing the time they fire for. You could also try reducing the spark plug gap to 0.8mm

ild take it to nissan and get it onto consult

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
