hey guys

i have an R34 gtt and i was driving one night and I noticed the engine light was on i do admit i was giving her a hard time but the car has been serviced about 4000 klms ago (just minor oil change etc) and the car since the light has been on does not miss a beat it drives and feels fine

just to be safe another member has suggesting reseting the cpu which i have done and still have eng light

has anyone had a similar problem and what was it?

how can i fix it?

any help is appreciated

cheers jason

Ps: the car has a exhaust front mount pod and boosted to 12 psi (if that matters)

tried the site search option yet?

no spoon feeding today until you have used search

yes i have and i searched again today and nothing that really matches my situation every post ive found they have either had the tcs and slip light come on as well, had their car running rough when the light was on, or had their light flashing. mine runs smooth as (as stated before) everything looks fine connections, hoses, etc ive reset ecu (several times now) even let car sit over night with no batt connected and my engine light just wont go away.

obviously there is sensor or something that has failed i just want to find out if anyone has had the same problem and if so what was it? or is there anything thats i need to check that is not obvious?

if the engine lights on the ecu will be giving out a fault code, not going to go into detail here, its been covered many times. but you can check your ecu codes by bridging the top right two pins on your consult connector and switching the ignition to on.

Download the manual it goes into detail on how to read the codes and what they all mean.

as the subsequent replies also point out : the proper thing to do is get some basic facts clear before you post a question - yours was so broad there could be dozens of answers : why waste peoples time?

when you get the fault code post again (only if you need to ) - you can get it with about 1-2 min of effort - lol (and no tools needed) - how has been described many times

"search" is your best friend - lol

:P

ok....

ive done the diagnostic thing where you bridge the two top right pins and the light has dissapeared which is a good thing i guess but it did not go through a sequence of flashing the code? every thing still works ok just wanted to check if this is a normal thing or not. :P

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
