so i'm getting error (34) from the ecu which is the knock sensor, the car runs like shit, really laggy high 1.5k - 2.5k idle....

but sometimes usually after 20mins of driving the error might go away and then the car is fine.

now i have read the sensors are next to cylinder 2 and 5 but that doesn't help much cause i have no idea what im looking for.

also i have read there is some resistor mod to trick the ecu, does anyone know about this?

its driving me crazy !!!!

yeah you can bypass the knock sensor with a resistor. where you put the resistor depends on where your knock sensor circuit has failed. There should be 2 sections of wiring from your ecu to the knock sensor. Would look be like this: [ECU-wiring loom-connector] and then [connector-sub harness- knock sensor]. Basically when your ecu will measure the resistance of this circuit and if you have say a faulty sensor or an open circuit this will cause your ecu to trip the error code which puts you in safety maps. This article isn't skyline specific (it's for a z32) but if you can find the knock sensor/ sub harness connector on your skyline you should be able to run the multimeter tests and figure out what size resistor you need and where you need to bypass it.

just remember that if you do bypass it your car is pretty much unprotected if it starts to detonate. i'd only recommend that you bypass the detonation sensor as a temp fix until you can replace the faulty sensor or fix the open circuit.

The errorcode is raised because there is a problem in the operation or circuitry of the knock sensors. It DOES NOT indicate that there has been knock.

The high idle will, therefore, be unrelated to this error. Search for fixes to the AAC or adjusting the TPS. Those are the 2 most likely causes of high idle.

alright thanks for the help guys ill get under the car during the weekend and see if i can find them :D

yeh i have a feeling the high idle is unrelated but the knock sensor error is defiantly the cause of the car running shit so i plan to fix that then move on to the idle problem if it's still there.

are the sensors on the front or side of the engine? or both?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
