Take it to any decent mechanic mate, they should have the diagnostic tool. I'd get it checked out ASAP, engine lights are important!!

Alrighty will do.. The price of sending the car to a toyota dealer is only $20 more compared to a private so i think ill send it to toyota :thumbsup:

LOL, mate thats what they say just to attract you to get you in, once your in be prepared to send big!!

Hmm.. hopefully they won't.. its just a diagnostics check.. not for repairs.. they can't do any repairs without my approval.. so yeah.. *fingers crossed*

The check engine light comes up when the knock sensors sense detonatation, so could be related to your knock sensors.

Hmm.. i thought it can be loads of reason.. like the sensors and all.. if anything is not functioning properly, the ecu receives the codes and up comes the engine light.. then the mechanic will use a laptop to retrieve the codes to find out whats wrong? Cause there's like hundreds of codes.. lol

We charge $90 an hour, takes about 30mins max to get the codes, MTA approved workshop. Why spend more going to Toyota? Going from what my mates at dealerships go by, I'd rather take my car to a private place! Nothing wrong with them, but nothing worth the extra money.

And yeah, we have one of the hand held ones. Plug it into the ECU, it gives you the code, and then you can go from there. Easy as!

    • 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?
