here's a good one, put a HKS twin power box on my GTR R34 started it ran fine ,took it for a drive and lasted 15 mins came to a set of lights and was running on 4 cylinders,no power couldn't ever take of from the lights then died, would not start again. Call tow truck... Got home took of twin power put in standard harness and changed plugs nothing.... Replaces coils with splitfires still no spark, checked everything,fuses,wiring harness,relays,injector pulse all good. We suspect ecu so have sent it to CRD in Sydney for testing will let you know what it is but has everyone stumped. I live in Cairns so a pain in the rear to get anything done here, no one knows the Apexi FC.

Hi Paul, CRD were going to test the ecu today however the main man was on the dyno all day so I have not heard from them, as soon as I know will let you all know,if not the ecu then will be looking for help from everyone to locate the problem, but one step at a time. Weather here is crap anyway so not driving anywhere.

Ok got the ecu check was ok now it seems the problem is in the wiring harness, have to check for a transistor and there is a diode there somewhere, also was told to check the security alarm as well apparently there is a transisitor in there as well. I dont have a wiring diagram does any one have one or know where I should start to look. I have a BNR R34 2000 model VSPEC. If there is any one who can help please advise.

Cheers Dave.

no one knows apexi powerfc? your kidding arent you.. i live in cairns there there is an excellant powerfc tuner local and also my main advice is keep the car away from autobarn(i assume your the silver R34 gtr that was in there the other day when i was buying oil and filter).. those guys have no idea in performance mods and if you want a hand with anything feel free to pm me im always willing to lend a hand

check out SAUQLD.com while your at it.. alot of the cairns skyline guys hang around on there.. we have a charity drive thing and dinner coming up very soon and a cruise the weekend after

No I dont have the silver GTR.... No I don't deal with Autobarn.......... and yes I would like to know who the tuner is if it is SVS forget it....... not too many people will be playing with the car thinking they know what they are doing.

im glad your not the silver 34 gtr owner than

SVS are great with powerfc's there the only people up here who i'd let touch one

im interested to know why you think they dont know wat there doin with them cause cameron does know wat he's doin with them and has been tuning powerfc's for about 3.5 years now and they are his prefered computer over any else

i believe i know who use to own this r34 gtr now.. if so it is very nice indeed im very suprised the t88 got put onto it before it got sold tho

seriously go see leigh and cam at SVS for a tune.. let them know its a stock bottomend tho if it still is..

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
