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

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
