any engine will knock, whether it is PFC or stock ECU........ i would worry too much about it, a friend's R34 did that as well and he never mention anything about being worried about it, but if in doubt get it checked out by your mechanic/dyno dude :rolleyes:

lol no, only a PFC will trigger the CEL for engine knock, the stock ECU will not display the CEL if there is any knock detected....would be great if it did :rolleyes:

If it was a brief flash 9/10 it's the O2 sensor, if it goes on an remains on, most likely coil packs..run the diagnostic to be sure.

Paper clips at the ready!!!!!

As the document says, turns the ignition to "on" short the two terminals indicated on the consult plug (clipped covertly on the underside of the dash near where your right knee lives), count the flashes, look up the code

diagnostic.docFetching info...

Thanks Dan lol

Hi all just to clarify... This happened to me today. The engine light turned on and stayed on after 10 minutes of driving. I didn't feel any change in the engine etc. car felt as usual no hesitation, shakes or missfires.

I pulled over waited a few seconds and restarted - engine light was off and never came back on.

I guess i'll have to drive the car more and observe if the issue comes back.

My car is an r34 non-turbo auto btw.

What is the consensus on this? Bung sensor or coilpacks about to give out or ecu glitch (if that even happens)???

Definately coil packs, fitted Splitfires and iridium plugs to mine today. My engine light had been on for a week and a half but like yours had not yet shown any signs of hesitation or missfiring yet. Just ran the engine, no engine light on and appears to be running much smoother and cleaner than before.

Splitfire coilpacks, part# SF-DIS-008, Brought them from CRD in NSW for $510 delivered, awsome service as they arrived a day and a half after payment.

NGK Iridium spark plugs BKR5EIX-11 $90

Also have NA R34 Good luck, Nath.

this happened to me, engine light came on and it dropped a cylinder, car would shake quite a bit, so i unplugged the coilpack plug, replug back in and the shaking went away.

pin pointed it down to the one SOB coilpack so i replaced that.

hopefully its fixed now as i only did it 2 days ago but so far so good, the light would come on intermittently, sometimes it would last a week without issues or maybe a day... but then in future if more packs let go, its time for splitfires.

My engine light came and and I got a service they hooked up the Nissan computer but they couldn't find the problem. I rang Power Road car sales where i bought my R34 Gt from and they identified the problem by just me explaining it over the phone.

I just got a new coil pack installed by them today, costing 240, (130 for the coil pack form Nissan) They also claim to have a machine that tells them which coil pack is playing up.The car runs smooth now, but my engine light is still on. I was told that the computer needs resetting, but I would have thought that the light would switch its self off once the problem is solved.

Does any one know how to reset computer or do i need to take the car to a specialist?

^ dc the battery, step on brake a few times to compeltely drain the power.. wait a few mins, connect battery back up & thats it.

but after u change the coilpack, u turn it off and then turn it back on and the engine light should go away.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
