Hi guys.

Some of you will know that I have been having the engine light SLIP light and TCS OFF light coming on. it did it this morning on the freeway and I realised the engine was running badly. I pulled over and shut the car off. After about 2 minutes I started it and it came good again. it felt like it was only running on 5 cylinders or something. It was really shaky and sounded like it was struggling. I really need to get this sorted out ASAP. Im in Osborne park and really not looking forward to driving home tonight. do any of you know what the problem might be? And also where around here I can maybe take the car at lunch and have a diagnostic done? With my working hours I don’t know where I would be able to because every were is closed before I get to work and by the time I get home.

Regards,

maybe try go to nissan in ossy park just off scarb bch road?

not sure if they will charge u ne thing but maybe go in n tell them ur situation n maybe they can point u where to go?

I drove around to heaps of garages at lunch yesterday with no luck. I drove home and didnt have a problem last night thankfuly. I got the train today lol.

I didnt bother going to nissan because i already knew they would not be able to help me. With the last car when my keys got stolen they were not even able to help me with anything other that ordering the new keys. They also said they were not even able to get a workshop manual for that car (well one that was in english any way)

i am going to have to try to find somewhere that i can take it to tomorrow.

Can any one recomend a good workshop that should that the car to that will be open on a saturday?

Ah yeah they helped heaps thanks mate. Had it hooked up to the diagnostic today and the fault is an ignition error. Im guessing it would almost definitely be the coil packs like every one else. The diagnostic cost 90 bucks. My girlfriend took it in. Seems bloody steep for a 2 minute job? all they do is hook the laptop up to it and it tells them what the fault is.

Does any one know where i can go and buy my self some spitfires? or one of the other brands, i remember reading somewhere about a couple of other brands that are ment to be good (or am i best to just get the spitfires?).

im not really all that sure exactly how it all works but im guessing it is my coil packs that are gone. are spitfires a direct relpacement for these? or something totally different?

ok i have no patience so i have already gone onto just jap and paid for a set of JJR coil packs. i hope it was the correct choice and that it fixes the problem. I think i will make sure i get myself some good plugs and find out what the best gapping will be for them while im at it.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
