R34 Problem

There somthing wrong with my R34 (GTT-no engine modification)... It began long time before I was cruising down the freeway, and then some dude went to change the line, so i just released a bit of my gas pedal then when he moved lane i tried to accelerate again but all of a sudden the engine, TCS off, slip lights came on, which apparently results in my car wont accel like it should do, the sound from my exhaust is somehow roaring and coughing.. and it does vibrate more when u tried to boot the gas pedal... But when I pulled over, and leave it for a minute or two, its completely back to normal, but u can smell like rubber burning from near the rear wheel... Keep getting this kind of problem but not too often, anyway my 5000k service is due in 2 weeks anyway, i thought so ill just wait..

Anyway I brought my car to 5000k service over in down under auto who also imported my car.. ask them bout the problem, but after the service they said nothing's wrong with ur car

Well the problem still came occasionally and will be gone if u leave it for a minute or two, went to the auto tune once and they said u gotta go to a garage who has the computer shit for R34, so it is easier to find, just plug it in and u'll know where did it go wrong...

I havent had a chance to do it though since i dont know which garage has one.. and the problem didnt pop up lately...

But around 5 days ago the problem came again when i actually wait for my order in mcd drivethru without anyhing to do with the gas pedal or clutch and another one came yesterday when i waited my friend with an engine on like exactly happened in mcd drivethru?

So has anyone overcome this problem or have any idea about what it is? Help me guys!!?

Thanks alot for reading it anyway...

i'll tell ya what...

stop driving the car, next place you should take your ride is to a workshop that likes working with Sky's...

if there's no $ just save up dude, i have no idea what's wrong with your car but i have never heard of that happening to anyone's car

don't want it to get worse and worse and then cruising on the freeway in the middle lane your car just starts spinning and you end up in hospital, be careful dude that's my2c

Repost this in Forced Induction section, you'll get your answers quicker.

To me, it sounds like somethings cause the ecu to go limp mode, but find a workshop that is familiar with 34s & can get consult on it... but the problem may be caused by sporadic issues (eg. afm wires coming loose momentarily)

Ring around a few workshops and see if any of them recognize the 34s symptoms.

this is not that uncommon , not common but I have seen it before on a few r34s.

i think it is a problem with one of the sensors , probably the TPS

but as its pretty intermittent it can be hard to diagnose when its not happening , usually theres no stored error so consult doesn't help much when its fine

is it a triptronic ? if it is i would get it checked out because possible tps issues can cause gearbox problems

Definitely something wrong there, I have an auto and it should only flash 'slip' when taking off hard under wet roads, or taking tight corners hard at from 1st -> 2nd under high revs.

Maybe your auto box is about to die. I wouldn't drive it till you find out what's wrong imo.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
